Benefits of being single.

I've found that the older I get and stay single, the more I make married people envious. It's weird, right? You'd think they'd be happily married and not worried about you but in reality most people want to "settle down" and start a family because that is the way society has conformed us to live. So when they see a single person of the same age living by their own rules, they feel envious. That's the vibe I get. But then again whenever someone does anything different from the norm they get hated on. 

Another thing that is cool about being single and approaching 30 (and you have to be good looking to pull this off) is making married women jealous because you're still dating new women, especially if you get someone younger. If you've met a pair of 30-somethings who've been married for several years, they tend to look bored already. They're still young and good looking and they're trying to get over that marriage honeymoon stage. Sometimes I'll just stare at a young married couple and I can see it written on their faces --- they wish they had played the field a little longer. And here I am doing just that --- playing the field. Most of my friends are married and whenever I bring a new chick around they look at me like, "Damn he's still doin it". And my married lady friends hate my guts because if I bring a hot chick who is 5-7 years younger than me then she will be like "Dude you're sabotaging my marriage". Basically married people hate single people. It's a psychological benefit for us.


go to da 10 min mark..it speaks exactly what you were talking about.
 
Lmfaoooooooo!!!!!!....fam there is nothing I envy from a Single person, two different ways of living life, each with their pros and cons, the older I get actually the happier I become in my marriage....the thoughts of starting a family, business, vacations, just the idea of one day waking up next to your partner of 40+ years and saying "we made it baby" >>>>>> the thought of being that 65 year old uncle who lives in a big empty house with no one to carry on his legacy...chill fam, you are not making ANY happily married man envious.
buggin b, if im single and PAID >>>>>>>>>> married 99% of da time

there's no incentive of being married when you are a certified alpha bread winning man.

way too much to lose and hardly da upsides or benefits.
 
I feel like the older you get and if you stay fly, you keep your appearance up to the point where everywhere you go you are the prize catch why would should you lose all of that for a relationship?

No chick can tame me right now.

Stretched out in my bed right now, just cut on a flick that I can appreciate. About to twist up all day, and I definitely don't need a female telling me to slow down on anything.

Plus chicks look to get a hold of the prize catch and take him off the market. They like to show off the man...like look I snared him. SMH.

No snaring me.

I'm on the market to this day, and will remain so.

Come on now, even Jay prb cheats on Beyonce.

Can't tame man.
 
me personally... i like those corner chicks...

get the yambs, go out on dates, kick it... but you already know yall not together...

they have a shelf life like JOs... but they tend to last a little longer...

i lubbit.
got that right now..pssh, da best.
 
Having lived on both sides of the fence I can list more reasons then that.

1. Fending for 1 > 2
2. Making 1 happy > 2
3. Going home to a empty house after a long day at work > coming home to another persons hard day at work.
4. Growing yourself as a person > growing with 2 personalities.

Hell this is all from personal experience and I'm not saying you have the same issues as me. What I'm saying is single life for me is better then the married life for me. I respect that it differs from your experience, respect that it differs for ours.



This
 
**** with the ghetto statistics about Married people. What would you guys know. Your dads probably never married ya moms and that's why you feel this way.



SINGLE meaning alone
 
tell us why you mad, famb.


Lol I ain't mad, just an observation
You ,erasiim, ninja steez derailing my thread with your "married people are miserable feud". I set the tone for the thread and it was going pretty good until you guys came along. Start a different thread.


It's always the same cats lol



I feel that marriage isn't for anyone but I can't deny the beauty of it, based off what I see with my parents.

I'm not a bastard although the marriage did end eventually.

I'm just saying its all about the person.

Some flourish in committed relationships. Some don't like myself. My current girl would make an excellent wife to 90% of NT. Its just not in me.
 
Lies damn lies.

Being a decent looking single man with your **** together is like having a cheat code for yambs.

The hell you talking about man?

Its not lies, its HIS experience.
That is what a lot of people on this site do not comprehend.
So many of you want to push your own views on others.
Make someone feel bad for living the yamb life
Bash someone for wanting deeper relationships and settling down.

Everyone can do what they want and you should be able to respect that .


Dude made a generalization first based on his experience, SP made another based on the general experience. One holds more weight, chill.

That's cool if you are secure in your views you won't have to make the next ***** feel stupid for doing the opposite
 
Why you ready to walk away? ...if that's not asking too much.

I was never really about this life from jump honestly. Like someone said before, I think it's time for me to find my happiness before I try to make someone else happy. I really feel like I've wasted so many years of my life. She did give me 1 beautiful child tho.

super-high quality post. Prob one of the best posts i've seen in a while.
 
keep tellin yourself that guys. the feeling of loving and getting loved back is the greater than anything.

but yes, if youre not where you want to be in life, not doing much... and single, you is puckin up.
 
Benefits to both in my opinion. I think the world is definitely shifting its norms though. Just as I am in a committed relationship, I could just as easily see myself being content single.
 
Man, reading all these blog posts on how terrible it is to be single, they talk about how great it is, but it's veiled in that "It's not as bad as it seems, but it really is otherwise we wouldn't have all these depressing posts about it."

It's just funny, my Uncle asked me the other day if I was dating. I simply replied...nope.

I just don't understand why I would want to be a relationship now. I'm young, in school almost done in with my degree...generally I'm at peace.

Every time someone asks me why I'm not in a relationship, I'm always like "no, I'm happy."

Are people in really happy in relationships? Like seriously? Every dude I see tells me "I used to be happy, then I got into a relationship" Some of the coolest/chillest dudes I know, once they got in a relationship...nope.
 
Being alone is characterized by a physical state.

Being lonely is characterized by a state of mind.

With that being said, I live alone, but I'll be damned if someone says I'm lonely. I have company on speed dial, and I can rest assure knowing that this is a place where I can come and recharge. This is why there are so many failed relationships, people chase relationships which leads to comfort and companionship; rather than inquiring about the individual they want and the characteristics associated with that individual, which leads to chemistry and compatibility.
