What are pros and cons of being single?

PROS

- You don't have anyone else to answer to, plan around, or plan with. You can do what you want when you want to do it.

- Let's just be completely honest. Buying gifts, flowers, meals, and stuff for a companion is a great gesture, especially if you have a happy and healthy relationship... but it... is...EXPENSIVE! So... yeah, saving money.

CONS

- You also don't have anyone to share your life with. You don't have anyone who ought to call you in a special way to better states in life, to inspire you to be less selfish, who can keep you accountable in ways that friends and family can't. You don't have someone who can motivate and inspire you to be a more mature and well-rounded person.

- While saving money is great, there is a humble gratification that comes from seeing the joy that gifts bring to another person. That's something that you wouldn't get to experience.

- And contrary to what the rise in a very disturbing mindset in today's world might claim, children are a great joy and blessing. Sure, they're also expensive and can be quite the headache at times, but of all the things a man can create, there's nothing quite like the creation, formation, and education of another human being, the fruits of the love between a man and a woman in a stable, happy, legally-binding relationship of marriage. So again, something else you don't experience as a single person, the building of your own little society.

Pros :

1. Can flirt/have fun with anyone or multiple girls.

2. Can save money. No need to buy gifts and food for someone.

3. More time with friends and to focus on self.

Cons:

1. Will not get the feeling of being loved and cared. Those from a partner is diff from family and friends.

2. You can share everything with a partner and she'll be there for you whenever you're low. Will miss that.

3. You won't get intimate time or sex or romance WITH LOVE. With and without has huge difference.
