Foo - What's wrong with being single?

So about that other thread the guy started, what's so bad about being single?

probably the risk of disease

nothing, except for some small social stigmas and tax breaks....

Single as in not married, or single as in no s.o.?

Lonliness mostly. But my wallet seems to enjoy it.

It sounds to me the issue of loneliness. During this time of year, those with a significant other, are pretty much guaranteed someone to celebrate the seasons with. The OP on the other thread also is reminded of the memories of the holidays last year. Those who are single, may not have any family to go to.

However, as to the issue of singleness, there are great advantages to being single. I am semi-self employed (ministerially) and have freedom of schedule. I have the ability to decide to go on a week or two long backtripping trip if I want to for a vacation and I don't have a wife and kids to have to be concerned with (however, I would rather have that concern :) ). I presently take 2-3 out of country trips per year (work related) of at least 3 weeks each that involve things like hiking across parts of the Tibetan plateau--things I couldn't do with a family. I can also have more time to ride and I'm less concerned with injury and am more risky because I don't have a wife and kids to leave behind. I'm also into reading and scholarship--something I have lots of time for as a single. Also, as a minister, I have a whole lot more time for my ministry seeing that I don't have a divided attention.

There's nothing wrong with being single. It's just as easy to be lonely when you are not single, though it's a different kind of lonely.

The proverbial "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" works well here.

Folks who are single and happy usually end up being happy when they are no longer single.

Folks who are lonely and sad when they are single usually end up being unhappy when they find that certain someone special.

It's like people who win the lottery. If they were miserable before, they usually end up miserable after. Being rich does not mean being happy, just like being in a relationship does not automatically mean happiness. And so on....

Nothing wrong with being single. No one hogs my blankets or my beer.

i remember having so much money when i was single. man, that was really nice. i could eat ramon noddles for three months and save up to buy really cool stuff. now, my GF cites "nutritional concerns" and forces me to eat balanced and healthy (more expensive) meals everyday. :)

I like it. Nobody to "make dissapear" after they accidentally find the box of severed toes in the freezer.

But you know when you've found the right person when that person wants to help you "make disappear" those severed toes.... topped with hot caramel or butterscotch sauce, preferably.

:roflmao:
I know there's some kind of throwaway joke involving "chicken fingers" or something in there...

I've been single for 17 years.

I have yet to find a fault with it.

I thought I found "her" once. Turns out she was just playing along. The minute I undid the straps holding her to the chair she bolted. :(

Nothing, other than some say I am a bit cheesey all by myself.

There is definitely nothing wrong with being single. Forget what people are saying and take enjoyment in your current state of being.

Remember there are tons of people out there that are married, dating etc that are not happy. Its what you make of it that really matters.

Those look like they would make some killer grilled cheese.

Rookie mistake.

Rookie mistake.
Turned out okay. In her blind panic, she forgot she was wearing the exploding collar. More toes for me.

Here's the best thing about being single.

You can do "it' whenever you want.

So explody pup is short for "she ranned away and went "Explody" and now I gets to Pick Up Pieces?

You might have to clarify your definition of "it".

I guess you haven't been single in awhile.

It = post on BF all the time

AHAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YOU WIN!!!

Expect a box of toes in the mail.

It = eat cereal in your underwear while watching old Twilight Zone episodes at three a.m.?

I don't like wearing your underwear. Too tight.

What kind of statement is this??? :rolleyes:

A good one.

It... You know that thing your son does when he says he's "polishing the crank" and "lubing the chain?"

That's right, obsessive compulsive bike cleaniness disorder. Cleaning the bike at god forsaken hours of the night with QVC on in the background polishing away that last bit of mud from that vile sponge like satin titanium surface, argggg clean damn you clean, I should've gotten a carbon bike!!

Actually I'm the big fat pig, my gf's happy having ramen or plain mac and cheese for dinner, hell it doesn't even have to be real mac and cheese, sometimes she'll make easy mac.

Between easy maintainence, she's learning to cook, she cleans the kitchen and bathroom, doesn't complain about my odd habits, puts out, I think I have "grass is greener on the other side" syndrome. That or I'm a picky bastard.

Plus she doesn't mind when I pick her up and dunk her upside down head first onto the bed...

:lol:

I was just asking if he was trying to say that people in relationships don't do it like single people. Thats a bunch of rubbish if that was the case. :D

It = talking to your nine cats about how OCP you are.

OMG...we'd be the best couple! :D But we'd have to do it naked and then top it off with Alfred Hitchcock Presents! :)

Oh yay! Sounds like fun!! :)

Good gravy, how am I supposed to get any work done with that swimming around in my imagination...

Yay! And then we'd top the whole thing off with either Guiness or Tequila! Woo hoo! :D

It's all part of our plan to Take Over the World.

Step 1: Drive Explody Pup to distraction.
Step 2: ???

You forgot Step 3: Profit!

There's another step in there, possibly involving a dead whale and explosives...
then, Profit!
Mwahahahaaaa!

It doesn't take much to distract me. Especially when it's naked women watching Twilight Zone and exploding whales. It's like you read my diary!

Dear Diary:
Guess what happened today on BF???

Lonliness mostly. But my wallet seems to enjoy it.

I don't get this wallet business that everyone keeps using. When I was single I was broke. Get married and you can doulbe, triple or even quadruple your income. The key is who you marry!

ah, but it's the zone between being single and married....dating....that will drain the wallet the most.

Singledom rocks!

Which can be a good investment, reference above.

The only thing I hate about being single is that you get bored of your hand after a while..:o

There's nothing wrong with it. I've been both single and in a relationship in the last year, and I see the pros and cons of each situation.

There are times when I'm with a girl, and I yearn to be single because she talks to goddamn much (you should know this, ladies). Then there are times when I'm single, and need someone to emotionally connect with.

*shrug* Though, I must confess the best situation thus far was being single with FTF.

Good gravy, how am I supposed to get any work done with that swimming around in my imagination...

Think about me naked..

Think about me naked..
all except for that gloved hand... that completes the fantasy for me:love:
