Is being single really as bad as some people make out?

[vacuumbrand]

I know that people love the feeling of belonging when they are with someone they believe they "love" (come on, I'm 16, neither me nor my friends know what love is) and love all the rewards that being in a relationship brings.

Good for you! You've realized that you don't have all the answers (and neither do I) at a young age, which puts you ahead of 99% of your peers.
OT: I wish I had someone, but being single is nice because there are no jealousy issues, I can focus on my degree, and it's much easier on my wallet.

Depends how long you've been single for. This one guy on the escapist said he hasn't kissed a girl and he is 18. That is bad.

Really? I'm 17 days away from being in that category myself. What if you're just apathetic and too lazy to bother with relationships?

Well than you're never going to get laid. And if you are too lazy to get laid, than you're going to fail in life.

Well I'm 21 and never kissed a girl so go me

Nope. All that happens when you're not single is some woman tears your heart out and steps on it. I have a new love, booze, and my mistress is hate. I have a lot more fun.

Oh god man, we are smiler...

Well, I got ninja'd on the similar but yes. Booze > Women. Hate > People. Hookah > Cigarettes.

I've got ninety nine problems...

but a ***** aint one, sorry i hate rap but i do like that song.

op: i am currently single but i consider myself as being me, i am not defined as who i am dating or who i call my friends, i am myself and if you dont like that fuck you. thats my opinion but i am a little drunk right now. might have to do with the fact that i am single.........

No, it's not that bad, but I wouldn't walk to do it for the rest of my life. Much like being a call-centre worker.

When you spend 18 years with no form of connection whatsoever, you kind of get sick of it.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Well generally I do prefer making out over being single.

 

[Generator]

Hell no! I just broke up with my girlfriend and I couldn't be happier. I actually took the break up harder than I expected, but I'm glad it's over; she was a tad bit on the crazy side.

I remember trying to look good all the time to impress a woman, agonizing over word choice, pretending to care about bullshit, I discovered it is way better to hunt pussy than to tame it.

 

[Valukar]

I'm starting to get a bit tired of being single, but I suppose it's not that bad. Besides, if I do get into a relationship, experience dictates that it would end badly.

 

[jonnosferatu]

Frankly, no.

 

[War Penguin]

No not really. Not all life can be about sex or love. There can be more meaning than that. I'm not sure what, but it's there.

That is an astoundingly ignorant statement. I'm surprised.

People have many different reasons they wait, or are forced to wait.

Relationships (especially those in highschool) are mostly filled with drama, so I figured if I cut off my brain with my genitals and only continue to seek friends, then I have a bunch of friends who have fun all the time and I won't have to worry about that weird relationship goo (no that isn't an innuendo -_-)

 

[Pegghead]

Yeah single life is great. All those old men who sit alone at the pub drinking their dollars away...they're fun-loving bachelors!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Hell no. If women didn't have vaginas or tits relationships would probably be some form of capital punishment.

Laughed hard at that. Thank you for brightening my morning.
