What are some benefits of being single?

Question

A lot of people seeing being single as a bad thing what are some positive things of being single?

sunshineglow · Accepted Answer

Last point belongs to people who have already found soul mate, while single people are, more often than not, still seeking that one perfect for them person.

Benefits are
1) all rooms in your place only for yourself and your own things, you know where everything is. Even if your place is at the moment in the mess.
2) nobody cares if there's a mess
3) you can do chores, go out, hang out with friends etc whenever you want. You tailor your timetable to suit only you.
4) you don't have to feel bad if you didn't fulfil a certain expectation of your own, since it's you and you know what happened to stop you, what situations you were going through, and you don't have to apologise for something that isn't your fault anyway

0) each phase of life has it's benefits and less comfortable sides. Each phase of life is possible to be enjoyable and serve as an opportunity for growing. Single life will offer different life lessons and exclusive relationship or married life will offer different kinds of possibilities to grow and prosper as person.

I don’t know what being in a relationship means. I have been single for 25 years, this means my whole life 😅. I can say many benefits being single but i don’t know if this can be the true answer. Because i have nothing to compare. But when i see my friends’ relationships i can say that i see many dramas, figure, jeaolusy and so on. When you are single you don’t have to worry about them. You are free. You can only think about yourself when doing something. But even if there can be sadnesses in relationships, i just want to experience it once to love someone and to be loved. I don’t know how it feels. I have hesitations about being cheated or sharing my negative sides with someone but maybe someday i can experience a relationship. But being single is good when it is not forever 😂

Well that's a pretty good five issues do they probably takes about 20 minutes to resolve so what's the real deal

Okay for me one benefit would be I don't feel guilty but I work late and get home
Number to I can just come and go as I please my only responsibility is me
Three if I want to flirt I can flirt without being called on it emotion time me just talking is flirting I guess but that's okay
I mean if you really stop and weigh everything out on both hands I can't really see too many benefits except for all you have to do is think about yourself and that's no fun well if I think of any more cuz I can't really even think of any okay wait a minute this could be one I don't have to remember to smile when she's telling me to do something and I sign language her yeah I always forget to smile when I use sign language

I historically always am dating someone but I’m single now. I like it for now. I could most likely be moving very far soon so I don’t want to get involved with anyone. But dating and being single both have pros and cons. Being single let’s you do what you want when you want. Not be bothered by what anyone else wants to do or wants you to do. But also a good girlfriend is pretty easy to mesh with. And have someone around for the lonely nights. And I really just mean making dinner together, watching a movie, talking etc.
Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence sometimes.

DonkeyDan · Answer

I don't have to check in with anyone or make sure it's ok to go out or do something with my friends.
I don't get nagged for seeing my friends too much.
I get the choice of dinner.
I can sleep with who I want.
I get the bed to myself if no-one is staying over.
I don't have to dodge the cosmetic avalanche that is the bathroom sink full of women's crap.
I don't have to tiptoe around once a month and watch every single word I say and every action I do.
I get as much or as little me time as I like.
I can get round to doing that job when I want to.
The house is the temperature I like and not the same temperature as sub Saharan Africa.
I don't have to sleep in a pink bedroom with more pillows on the bed than a frinkin department store.
I don't have to sit through mind numbing reality TV shows.
Oh the list is endless!

CuriousJC · Answer

Well. Finding a decent woman is like finding a hundred dollar bill in the biggest city where you live without any clues on how to find her and what type of person she's like for the relationship to stay stable. People like me for first to be single because they don't have to worry about getting their heart broken every now and then. Without loyalty and commitment the relationship is not going to last very long. I'm still single, the shortest relationship I had was 10 minutes after I refuse to get this girl something off the internet. People like to call other people's losers, and when I confronted those people about being a loser I told them how it is. I told them: I'm a loser, I'm a overweight 27 year old who lives alone and works 3 times a week and spends most of his time playing video games and smoking hookah. Like Kanye West said in a song: WELCOME TO THE GOOD LIFE...

DizzyDesii · Answer

I feel less guilty if i flirt with several people in a day… but then i feel more guilty if i truly start to like one of em 🤣
I dont have to share my ned! Nor do i have to kick the guy out of the bed for snoring and tell him he the next morning that he fell on the floor while sleeping 🤣
I get to sing along to the song Single Ladies and mean it 😭
I dont have to stop doing things I want to do to work around someone elses schedule 😊
I dont have to be pressured into having sex before im ready… well then again even more try that when im single 💀

Fireguy17 · Answer

Let see, I have been to all lower 48 states, Canada and Mexico on my motorcycle, not in the same trip, I decorated my house how I wanted to, no one was there to tell me I am doing something wrong, I come and go as I please, go out with a wide variety of women and see them naked, I can spend endless hours at the firehouse, I can buy what I want when I want, as long as I can afford it, I can bring home a stray kitten, I can watch what I want on TV, I can eat out or cook when ever I want to, I can hang with friends, I can be alone when I want to be.
There might be more.

Ukrainianbuddafly · Answer

When I was single I missed having someone there, cuddling.. but now I realize that those same guys that never made a move but acted like friends won't help me out with things now because I have a boyfriend. It's the benefits of always being able to call someone to do things for you or going out that you miss

bobalife · Answer

Focus on my time to grow as a person and the things I desire in my life. Aka living my best life and becoming a better person. Spoiling myself on what I want. Not having someone who may hurt me, lead me on, or time/emotions wasted not on the right person.

ZackBan · Answer

Not having your mental stability be dependent of someone else's actions and behaviors.

Saving way more money which enables many endeavors and opportunities.

Being able to approach anyone you find attractive and express that without being a traitor.

WeepingMoth · Answer

I can focus on myself and my goals. More free time to focus on my work and my ambitions.

With that being said I won't lie, I'm tired of being single. I won't mind sacrificing that free time to have a loving partner by my side. I know there's plenty of benefits to not having that on your shoulders but when you've been single your entire life it starts being monotone and lonely.

spuitkaas · Answer

I really like having so much time for friends and family. My whole week is mostly planned with doing things with them so honestly I can't imagine having time for a boyfriend. I also like the idea that I can study abroad and travel/live anywhere without hearing complaints.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Your (5) is pretty good. I have been in a relationship since 2009 and everything is good. When the wife goes to her oarents over the weekend! I find my self in a very well planed day, more time to things, i cook what ever, i clean in peace, go to the gym and take care of the garden and even play some games and record without the wife's voice in the background. So more time and more energy and a lot of focus on other things.

Twix005 · Answer

Being single is independence! Working on you and loving you! Its not a bad thing it's overall healing, I learned so much about myself being single! It can sometimes be lonely but oh so worthed. If someone doesn't except me for me and don't want to grow with me. I will much rather be single loving myself anyways. Most people that long for relationships I feel have issues with in like abandonment issues, Insecurities and etc... that make them hate being alone.

Anon621 · Answer

1) independence (trust me it's a vibe coming home and you don't have someone asking 50 questions every day)
2) self-awareness (you get time to focus on yourself)
3) new standards (this is when you come up with more things you don't want or maybe things you want to find in your next partner)

poneglyphs · Answer

I have been single for 26 years. So, all I know is being single. I guess eating, whatever you want, dating people when you can, working out on yourself, and sleep however you want.

paradiseonearth93 · Answer

I’ve always loved being single and have been happiest single than I ever was in a relationship. Honestly the men I’ve dated have been incredibly selfish and immature and I’m so tired of it. So I’m perfectly happy and whole and more at peace just by myself. I can focus on myself and advance myself more instead of focusing on a relationship or someone else. That’s my biggest thing. Seems like whenever I’ve dated someone else I end up feeling smaller and when I’m single I feel more worth more.

FatherJack · Answer

Not carrying a lazy , useless lump. No dealing with constant complaining , criticizing , not dealing with constant foul moods , stupid arguments , being blamed for all the ills in the world = far less stress. Not a people person , and I'm a single dad to a teen daughter , so no negativity towards women. I am a very self reliant , independent person. Ferrets & dogs are better company than the majority of people.

TheFlak38 · Answer

"2. No time wasted or extra energy or effort invested in a relationship if you’re busy or taking care of your kids if you have any. "
Assuming that women invest anything at all in a relationship. You're all entitled bitches with instagram, tinder, bumble and all these apps elevating your vagina to astronomical heights to the point that you seriously believe you're entitled to a man's money and energy by default without giving anything in return.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

Men- We don't have to constantly buy gifts. Single guys don't have to risk thinking about their girl feeling because we isn't dating. Plus it's way more cheaper for us guys.

Women- Most single women don't have to worry about risking her future for her man because she isn't dating. They can pig out for days and not worry about looking sexy. Also just for single men, being a female that is single is also cheap.
