Like most: Being able to do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do
it without having to answer to anyone.

Like least: Not having someone around to talk to and share hopes and
dreams with and cuddle.

double edged sword

the things i like about being single

i dislike for not having someone to share them with

All the things I like to do is no fun because I have no one to share
then with.


Ir is double edge for sure

Nothing

------what?

I seek companionship, not relationship. I feel I can not tell a lady
that I love her as I love Gwen. I am very open about this & the ladies
I date, seem to understand. So like the most,I am being truthfull.

Thing I like the east, all the time alone. I will live long enough to
see great grandchildren & the grandkids are only 2.5 & 1 (today). Lotta
time to go.

Yes it is nice to be able to do what you want to and not to have to
answer to anyone. The only one you have to worry about is your self .
Clean up after ect....




But.... honest at times it has it disadvantages too. For you don't have
that special someone to share your life with. To go places with talk
and laugh with. NO one to tell about the joys in life or the heartaches.
Sure some love the single life. Once the kids are grown as mine are it
does seem to get lonely. As far as having one to share those special
times with. For in the past my kids took up that time so it was not
missed as much. But it does make it hard for when friends have a party
or some kind of gathering hummm Its seems that you end up the only one
there that ia alone. While all the others are couples. Those are the
times you notice it the worst.



Ohh well all we can do is make the best of it and go on.hopefully we all
will one day find the one that enhances our lives

It really is a double edge sword quoting whoever said it..


that's all I am gonna say....

what I hate about being single is being all by myself all the
time..

Actually, I love mostly everything about being single ...about 90
percent of the time.

LIKE: quiet time to do my work. DISLIKE: too much quiet time, alone!!!
(need to get some of those little guys)

Like: Not having to constantly agonize, is everything okay with us?

Dislike: Lonliness can be unbearable at times.

It's funny who the same things we'd like to avoid, are the same things
we tend to embrace!!! (gotta get some of those little guys)

Like Oldsage said, I miss companionship. I have a male platonic friend;
despite being platonic, we have a very firey, on-again off-again
relationship. When we are on-again, I like being able to call him and
tell him my daughter got an A on her English test. Just little things
like that. He always takes my side. But, I know we don't have a future
together, so I am looking for someone who is in it for the long-haul.

Good: Not many dishes to wash.

Bad: Any money I find in the laundry was mine to start with.

Everything, Nobody *****ing at me about everything, More money, and can
do anything i want, with out hurting nobody.

well like George Strait sings.....


Had a nice little life
A little boat a little beach
A little routine I liked
A blue ocean view
Free to go with the flow
Anywhere that I wanted to
But the moment you set foot on my shore
That's when I knew

There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

'Til you smiled with me
Thought that I had it good
As good as it could be
From the back of my deck
Caught a fish caught a breeze
And a thousand red sunsets
But sitting here with you girl I just saw
The best one yet

There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

My days are brighter
My sky a deeper blue
My nights are sweeter
When I'm with you

There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

I'll choose a relationship over being single.

My past girlfriends were never the demanding type. We did many things
together, but we also gave each other plenty of space. We simply never
put any demands on each other. I seriously don’t believe I would ever
become involved with a demanding woman.

Therefore, when I think in terms of being with an undemanding partner,
being single has no benefits. So being in a relationship wins hands
down.

Now if the partner was going to be demanding that’s a whole other story.
But I would never hook up with a demanding partner in the first place so
to me that situation is moot.

I just want someone to coexist with. I know it’s possible to find
undemanding women because I’ve been with undemanding women before. So
they do exist. But they are probably rare, and also highly desired by
other men which would mean they don’t last long on the single’s scene.

I make no demands of my partner, other than things like honesty and
monogamy. But beyond that she’s free to do, or not do, whatever she
likes.

So, for me, there’s absolutely no advantage to being single whatsoever.
And having someone to share life would be so much better. So I choose
having a partner over not having a partner. Unfortunately, I need to
find an undemanding woman who also chooses that, and recently I just
haven’t met any. At least not that are local to me or willing to
relocate to me, and I’m just not able to relocate right now. Life
always has its anchors.

I would have to agree with Sheila -- about 90% of the time, being single
is great.

I can just decide to go to the store, to take a long drive to the middle
of nowhere, work on editing something for 6 hours straight if I feel
like it. Take a walk, watch whatever I want on TV -- there's no one to
answer to, there's no "Where do you think you're going this time of
night?" sort of interrogation.

I've been married, I've had live-in girlfriends, one thing I've learned
is that some people can be very (and sometimes inappropriately)
demanding.

Screw that.

Admittedly, there are times when I think it would be nice to have
someone around.

But then I think about what it was really like (not the romanticized,
overly idealized, "it was great, wasn't it, even though it was so long
ago I can't actually remember it with any degree of accuracy anymore"
illusion/delusion that creeps in after being alone for awhile) -- and
what it was really like, about 90% of the time, was just plain awful.

So it's a tradeoff. On balance, I'd rather be alone than be with
someone I spend all day trying to figure out how to get away from.

Like- the Indepence of doing what I want when I want Dislike - waking up
alone and not having someone to cuddle with especially during
thunderstorms
