"Coach you are the GRAND SUPERIOR GAGGER"? Cheesy af 🙄

Yes and no, there’s definitely benefits that you only get being single, and there’s benefits you can get in a relationship.

When you are single, you have way more freedom. No fights, no compromises, the only conflict are the ones outside your home and in your head. Do what you want, when you want, how you want. Your money is your own, no one else entitled to it. Your decisions are your own. No one to pick up after, no one's bad day to deal with except your own, no one's trauma to deal with except your own, no abuse. Anything and everything is your way and no need to hash it out with someone. There are many, many drawbacks to being in a relationship that few people talk about.

Married carries tax benefits that allow you to lose less cash to the government, though at higher incomes this difference becomes less pronounced between single filers and married.

However, a married couple is likely to have to spend more money than a single person. So the single person might end up saving more than a married couple does, by virtue of not needing as much stuff (food, amenities, etc.)

That said, there are likely plenty of singles out there whose spending habits are on the high-side and plenty of couples out there who are very careful with their money.

I appreciate the loyalty the love the admiration. Means a lot.

Wow! Reading some of these replies!! It’s just sad. We have plenty of married, single, cohabitating couple, gay, and even some transgender friends. We don’t look down on any of them and go out of our way to make them feel loved. I did not give up my freedom to get married; I gained a best friend. We may disagree, but never argue. I am in a very satisfying, but not lucrative profession. My wife has never wanted “things.” For a while I worked at a jewelry store. She had little interest in any of it. We serve each other, and don’t demand anything in return.


Speaking of our married friends or couples, they are all happily together. Sure, no one is perfect, but I would have the joys of marriage (50 years) over being single any day. However, there is nothing wrong with choosing to stay single. One our our friends is a single lady in her late sixties. She has had a very satisfying and fulfilling life.


So how about If we don’t look down on anyone, regardless of their choices.

[CubsterShura]

They do because of how society is, especially in the case of women because historically men being voluntarily celibate has been seen as a virtue, but for women not so except for an extreme situation like if she's a nun. But I am hopeful that the newer generation is beginning to unlearn that.

[Tracker1958]

MGTOW

[CubsterShura]

@Tracker1958 it was less about men leaving women because of MGTOW and moreso to achieve some high level of asceticism.

[Tracker1958]

We are doing everything we can to end marriage and long term relationships. No relationship should last longer than 30 days. Leave before the new wears off.

[CubsterShura]

@Tracker1958 if you don't want to marry then don't get married, why stop others?

[Tracker1958]

The statistics on marriage make it suicide for a man to get married. It's almost a sure thing you will cheat and take him for all he has worked for. Plus he has a 50/50 chance his kids won't be his real kids. He will have to pay child support on kids that aren't his kids. We will do our best to talk every man to never get married. Just use women like women use men.

[CubsterShura]

@Tracker1958 statistics show married men have longer life expectancy whereas women's life quality decreases with marriage and single women in their 30's and above are the happiest demographic. Marriage literally adds years to a man's life but sure tell me how it's suicide.

[Tracker1958]

If you think that then please don't get married, stay happy living by your self, do it for the planet

[CubsterShura]

@Tracker1958 I don't think it, it's a proven fact

[Tracker1958]

We need more women to give sex away like candy.

[CubsterShura]

There are candy stores out there.

[Tracker1958]

At least those women knows what make a woman valuable

[CubsterShura]

So there you have it, go to them.

[Tracker1958]

Miserable life. All he hears is nag, nag, nag, that's why so many men are offing themselves. Women make death look like a better option.

[Tracker1958]

I don't have to feed, talk, worry if they are cheating, pay her bills, feed her kids. Pump and dump. AND SHE WILL NEVER SAY NOT TONIGHT, I HAVE A HEADACHE.

[Tracker1958]

Ho, I forgot, she will let me F all her girlfriends.

[cryscrys1]

Married people come off as psychopaths to me
Single people are free spirits and superior and can do the fuck they want look at me I’m using dirty words at gag I don’t care at all 😎 I can even chat with anyone

[Tracker1958]

You are the kind of woman men want to avoid. Keep up the good work.

[cryscrys1]

That’s nice thank you letting me know

[Guy13]

“ Bhwha…ha…”chuckle in married eyes and smile…”better than you than me” with half spin around back facing us hanging ornaments.
Don’t be so sensitive as one day you’ll do it too….

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

None I know do that’ll…

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*that

[SnowedIn]

Actually, Coach, I think some do. Not sure it's always deliberate but sometimes there's a vision that married couples get that marriage and kids is the only solution in life and they want/expect others to hew to that vision and or that their way is better. Its similar to the singles who disparage those who are married or those who want children. In no way am I saying this is all marrieds or all singles but there are some, yes.

[coachTanthony]

I know a few myself.

[Anonymous]

Definitely not. And I chuckle at the ones that think themselves superior. For one thing any fool can get married STAYING MARRIED is another matter. I always find the women who brag that they're happily married. Then you ask them how long and it's typically like 6 months to 2 years. And I always want to say stay together 15 to 20 years. and then you have rights to brag. But not now. Because if he can got that long and hasn't strangled her he's either got unbelievable patience. Or she's actually a keeper. Because the REALITY is MOST of these "marriages" will flame out long before then. So really what is it that should impress me about that?

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t think so. Of course, i’m probably too busy thinking that they’re beneath me to notice that they might think similarly of me. Ell oh ell!
I’m not sure about “superior”, but i greatly enjoy comedians that suggest married folks are always trying to get their single friends hitched because “misery loves company”. That actually rings of inferiority to me.

[monorprise]

If they are actually married they are superior, if they are just in a friendship they are no better to any of us than anyone else's friendships.

A real marriage is only superior to a friendship in that it is a life time commitment for the propose of raising children.

Therefore the parties thereof ARE significantly superior in important than singles in that they are actually contributing to the future of civilization.

[Quigly]

LoL... Married people have more problems than single people.

[coachTanthony]

I mean I know they don't have less that's for sure.

[Ninania]

They sure seem to think they're superior, but I prefer healthy relations over whatever I can keep the longest. I pity most married people.

[Tracker1958]

Women get bored with healthy relationships. Most women in a healthy relationship will start cheating because she get bored and needs some excitement in her life. Women can't be content in a healthy relationship. She will eventually destroy it some how.

[Ninania]

A healthy relationship is alive as long as the people involved in it keep choosing, prioritising and nurturing each other while continuously reflecting on how each person thrives within it. I'm not saying that can't happen within a marriage, but most married people I know start neglecting each other at some point, or went into marriage from an abusive standpoint. The contract makes it much more likely to end in toxic codependency rather than mindful priority.
Also, cheating doesn't happen in healthy relationships, cause then it's no longer healthy.

[Tracker1958]

Most men can't or don't make enough money to keep a woman entertained and happy. This is why men should stop marring women completely. Women think they are entitled to live like Hollywood. Men can't afford that life style.

[Ninania]

You know you can choose not to date someone, right? It's 2022, women make their own money. If you think all women want to depend financially on a man, you need to get out of your bubble and date more mature people. Codependency is toxic - as in the opposite of healthy. You're focusing on the wrong women to date.

[Tracker1958]

Women make their own money but choose to spend the man's money. For centuries men have married women that didn't have a dime but a woman would never even consider marrying a guy in that shape. A woman will ask on the first date how much money a man makes. You girls judge a man by the car he drives. Most women will suck the life out of a man, giving the chance.

[Ninania]

For centuries women weren't able to work and make enough money for themselves, it's been, what, half a century since women gained the chance to support themselves financially, yet you choose to use the misogynistic history against them? What a way to show why good women won't date you.
Like I already said, people who use other people for their money or anything else are not healthy relationship options. Just don't date toxic women. And I know it's not that simple, same as it's a minefield to avoid toxic men, too, but find out your values and stick with them, set boundaries and make sure to act on them. That's the only way to find the people worth investing in. If you're unhappy with your situation, you're the only one who can change it.

[jshm2]

They should be.

They've managed to snag a person they can marry, live and grow with. One that they can grow assets and lineage with.

The "problem" is usually not everyone can deal with such responsibilities.

[es20490446e]

I perceive people in happy long term relationships as more easygoing in general.

Learn from this guy

[Fryday_Knight]

LOL Hell no. They remind me why I love being single

[Tina19]

I don't think so married people i know only complain about how much they miss their freedom they had before marriage as now they have to live their life according to their partner's will

[Guardian45]

No, not usually, but I feel like one, because I'm NOT married.

[flipflopBD5]

I love being married to my wife but I do miss being single and young

[Tracker1958]

If your married, you can tell women the truth instead of what they want to hear.

[FreyaRed]

No. Especially if married guy just lurks that I give him a smallest sign of approval

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. And it's quite annoying. ... But I don't let it bother me because I lnow that they're all going to get divorced sooner or later. So I will have the last laugh.

[DynamicKicker]

Not superior but they have my respect

[NathanDavis]

not in my experience...

[OddBeMe]

It’s because we are. Jk


Parents think they’re superior.
