The Advantages and Disadvantages of Being Single

There has been an everlasting debate on the subject of which is better; being single or being in a relationship. While those in a relationship will be quick to say that loving someone and being loved back in return is the best feeling in the loved, the people belonging to the single school of thought would argue that love is not the best feeling in the world, rather it is that feeling you have when you need to let go of a shit badly and you find a toilet to dump it in.

It is as a result of this argument therefore that I decided to write on the pros and cons of the single life.

Pro: Not Answerable to Anyone

This could perhaps pass for the biggest advantage of being single. The fact that you have no partner hovering over you, monitoring your every move or questioning your every decision is especially a good feeling. Your life is yours to live as you please and you have nobody to consider in the equation. You spend your money on only yourself and you have all the time in the world to dedicate to yourself.

Con: Being Single Gets Lonely

As much as you might think you enjoy being alone, there are times when you actually seek companionship. Don’t be quick to say that you would always have the presence of family and friends, there are times when you need more than they can offer and being in a relationship would seem great during such periods. Spending a holiday alone sucks and if your friends have lovers, they would need time to spend with their lover. I am sure you know three is a crowd right?

Pro: Unlimited Sex With Whomever You Want and Whenever You Want

There! I just said the reason why many guys will rather remain single than get hooked to one chick. The allure of many caves filled with treasures yet unexplored would rather make them opt for the single life than stick to one person. As a single man, you can have no strings attached relationships, also whenever a new babe catches your fancy, you can go over there to sow yet another wild oat. Let’s admit it; single people get to tell the best stories and crazy escapades.

Con: Unguaranteed Sex

In a relationship, you can be rest assured that you can get regular sex since you have a steady partner and it’s not all about the sex but also the act of love making. When you are single however, you have to work to get laid. You can’t just waltz into someone’s apartment and tell them you want to have sex, except you are settling for a hooker of course. On the other hand, if you are in a relationship, you can whisper into you lover’s ear, the many things you would like to do that moment.

Pro: You Can Be Your Dirty Self  

With having nobody to think about, you can be disgusting as much as you like. A girl for instance doesn’t have to hold back a fart because her boyfriend is around, she can blow up the place with her atomic bomb without feeling concerned. A guy can vomit all over the place after having too much to drink without having to think his babe would feel disgusted. Being single gives you the assurance that you won’t be seen or judged by anyone.

Con: Increased Quality of Life

Truth is being with somebody makes you pay closer attention to the little details of your own life; after all you want to be the best you can be for them. You probably went drinking and got drunk in the first place because you felt lonely and depressed, having someone around would have had the problem solved in a much better way. Also, we all know that being too much of your dirty self can do you more harm than good in the long run.

All said and done, which band wagon would you rather jump on; the single train or the relationship path?
