there are benefits of being in a relationship, but can you list some benefits of not being in a relationship? is there a part of you that has developed as a result of being single?

Never having to share the remote.

You are at peace for sure and no nagging and jealous rage... I love being single.

I agree with the first part......I didn't read about your jealous rage in your profile

I can do what I damn well please

The bank account actually grows

eh, to many things to even list after all this time.

Still the longing to be with someone, that doesn't go away with the changes.

Just as many reasons to stay out of a relationship as there is to stay in one.

Both good and bad reasons. I could make a list a mile long.

I have to admit, I stole that from one of my friends on Mingle. She knows who she is.

I own the remote.

It is easier to not be in a relationship. But, only if you're not interested in getting to know someone. I don't want to be alone. But, it beat's being with someone that make's me feel bad,

It has been a long time since I have cleaned pee from the OUTSIDE of the toilet

In all honesty, not having to worry about messing with other people's minds. Such as playing games with hearts an such. Also, being single gives you time to reflect on yourself before you get into a serious relationship.

My dog doesn't try to tell me what to do. lol

No, but the damn cat does!!! Think the dog and cat have a power struggle going on to see who rules the roost.

Let's see -- being alone, I don't have to worry about him getting drunk and wrecking the car, writing hot checks we can't cover, running up bar bills all over town. Don't have to worry about him bringing home his "stray" drunk friends to live with us for indefinite periods of time. Don't have to worry about his temper and him breaking things.

Yeah, being alone isn't so bad.

Not having to put forth effort into acting a certain way for someone.


Just being able to sit, and do nothing.


You dont have to be anywhere.


You can leave your hair screwed up if you want instead of making sure its perfect.


Not having to make sure every spot on your body is perfectly shaved at all times.


No make up.

No constaant diet.

You dont have to tell anyone where your going, or where youve been.

No worries about being "fulfilled" in anyway.

You can sleep and know noone is going to wake you up.

No "getting to know you" period.

Save money on shopping for new clothes.

No mental insecurity about if this is right.


Jesus, the list could go on and on.

Noones moods to deal with but your own.

No need to keep secrets, or reveal them.

longer showers,,longer sleeps,,,cheaper grocery bill

Short, accurate, and right on the money! I don't have to watch her damned shows anymore. Sports, politics, and porn, yeah!

I've been single too long to revert back to being a submissive woman for a man. Once they get to know me just a little, they find they don't like me. Piss on them. I'm not going to be ordered around and told what to do by a man. I've been told I'm bossy and pushy. What, because I don't ask for their permission? That's my rant. Like it or lump it.

I don't have to make the bed if I don't want to!
