Advantages And Disadvantages Of Being Single by Abisoyee(m): 9:55am On Aug 08, 2014
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?

If you are "truly" single, hmm, life may be very boring o. It's good to be in a relationship. Man is essentially a social being. Plus there's fulfillment in caring for someone else emotionally.
