Introduction: Single Vs. Society

Allison

Society says that every person needs to have a person where they can depend on.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble but, I beg to disagree.

I know i'm in the minority but I strongly believe that, being single is healthy! And, 'single' is, for me, isn't a 'status,' it's a term that describes a person who's strong enough to enjoy life without depending on others.

And, in fact, being a single has a lot of advantages. And when I say 'a lot,' I mean this:

Number 1: You can do, whatever your heart desire.

This is my favorite advantage. You can do whatever you want! Buy everything you want, all your whims! Like a very expensive dress! Or a designer bag! And there will be no one stopping you, maybe your mom. But your boyfriend won't stop you because, you don't have one!

Number 2: You can talk/flirt without fear.

Imagine you having a boyfriend. Now, imagine you flirting. Your boyfriend will, obviously stop you. And, you will break up sooner or later. And then, you would be emotionally devastated that you couldn't function for weeks, months, year?

Of course you wouldn't want that. But, if you're single, no one's stopping you because, you don't have a boyfriend. And if you're just bitch at heart, this number is the one for you!

Number 3: Travelling will be a dream come true.

Did you ever feel like when you wake up you just feel like travelling? Go backpacking on mountains that you're dreaming of going to? Go to the beach of your dreams. Then you wanted to make that dream come true. You just pack your bags and move overseas, not minding that you have a boyfriend.

And then, when you're already in God-knows-where, it hit you! You have a boyfriend. They obviously wouldn't be happy about your decision-making. And he have all the rights to be.

But if you're single, you could travel anywhere you wanted, no one is stopping you because you don't have a boyfriend! Probably your mom would but at least it isn't your boyfriend.

Number 4: You can save a lot of time.

Yup! I know sending a lot of flirty text is, quite fun. But, do you know how much time commited persons spends on sending flirty text? A lot! Yes, I know, what if you just find an independent man. I'll wish you luck on finding such a rare creature.

You could just spend your time with yourself! You don't need a man, dumbass. Spend your time wisely.

Number 5: You could save a lot of money.

Of course, being in a relationship, takes a lot of money. For dates, flowers, wedding, more flowers, dinner, more flowers, etc.

On average, a florist will charge for about $3.50 per stem for long stem roses. That's $42 for a dozen, but adding more for filler and box, it's probably going to be $50-$60. Perharps, $60 for a nice. Then imagine giving flowers on every date. That would be-- ugh, I don't even want to know.

You could save a lot of money! Spend it wisely!

Number 6: You don't need to worry on how you look.

Going out with your boyfriend could be a nightmare. It would take you a lot of time fixing yourself. You need to worry about how you look, what's your clothes are, your make-up. But if you're single, you won't need to worry on how you look, because, you don't have a boyfriend!

If you don't want to worry on how you look, singlehood might be for you.

Number 7: Being reliant upon oneself.

If you don't have a boyfriend, you could work on yourself and it will help you trust your own judgement. But if you do have, that person will always be the center of your thoughts. Whatever you do, you should think of him first, and nobody wants that, right? But if you don't have a boyfriend, yourself would be the single subject of your thoughts. No one will be but yourself, because, you don't have a boyfriend!

Number 8: Being a parent.

Now we all know that only few relationship are destined for eternal success. And there are a lot of single parent out there. And we don't want to be a single parent. So, if you're not sure about boyfriend, use a condom while having sex! Be safe, use condom.

But if you don't have a boyfriend and you just 'want' to have sex, just go to club! No one will stop you because you don't have a b-- ok, I think you got it.

There are still many advantages of being single but I just want to stop here.
