Having never been married, I really have no frame of reference. I will say that for me, my dad lives with me and keeps me in check. once he is gone though, I have no idea what will happen. The biggest con for me would be that I would have no one to keep me in check so to speak. I may be free to do anything, but there are things that I would be free to do, that I might want to do, but I know is a very bad idea.

Not saying of course that being married would change that. But the fear of being alone stems from the fear of my own stupidity. OK, I know that was not the awesomeness of being single. But it is my POV! Which is probably not the story for most who are single.

The soul crushing loneliness! And eating all the pizza.

Cook all the meals. No sharing ice cream

Not being asked, "what's for dinner?" That question has almost moved me to homicide.
Sleeping in the middle of the bed, and not being kept awake by someone else's snoring.
Not having to clean someone else's hair out of the shower drain, or their toothpaste leavings out of the bathroom sink. Or having to clean whiskers out of the bathroom sink.
Doing laundry for one.

Deciding where TF to eat.

Decision making is ridiculously simple. Plus my grocery bill pretty reasonable.

Not being manipulated, bullied and guilt tripped into sacrificing all of my needs for someone who would not do anything for me. Hoping that doesn’t apply to all relationships but it certainly is a nice change for me.

Being single means that you have something to look forward to, of experiencing that wonderful joy of meeting and falling in love with the woman you choose to share the rest of your life with. Those early years of companionship are priceless........ These are my feelings about the best of being single.

Freedom

My motto is "I want a man in my life, but not in my house". When you get to be my age, for me its nice not to have all the drama. I don't like having to answer to someone but I do get lonely sometimes but it passes. You don't need someone else to make you happy!

Choices are made by me, because of my and for me!! It makes me kinda feel selfish but until i have a partner in life thats how it will be!!

I get to watch my little dog run like hell away from my ex when he comes for his visitation rights.

Door Pants!

Time alone to concentrate and think. Plus farting is allowed.

No mother-in-law . Don't have to deal with other people's addictions , such as smoking , etc . Am more able to invest in my future .

Queen size bed to myself. If there’s a mess I know I made it and I’m not cleaning up after someone else. Leaving the bathroom door open. EVERYTHING!!! Lol. But I’m 43 and this is the first time I’ve lived alone in my life.

That's a tough call Mrs. Eyes.

Probably the best best thing I can remember about being single way back in the day was doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.

No working my schedule around anyone else's.
Does that seems selfish? Of course it does, it's practically the definition of being single.

I never did like responsibility very much.

Eating the whole plate of brownies all by myself.

Not haveing to have any type of communication before I've had my first cup of coffee of the day.

I enjoy a cool room with a blanket, pillows, book and the dog! I love the feeling! Still want a hug occasionally, but no one leaves after a hug!

No inlaws

After reading all the comments it turns out this may not be the most fruitful site for dating after all.
People really do suck the life out of you don't they?
Ok, so who wants to come over and not interact?
I love you forever just don't talk to me.

No hesitating, no discussion. Like Nike, JUST DO IT!

Control of the tv remote.
