Being able to satisfy oneself in bed without having a second person think that is an invitation/requirement to include them. Was that nicely phrased? LOL
phrasing was fine but i think you should consider this in the future...everyone loves some teamwork, if he (or she if that's your thing) can't finish the job just keep going after he/she is done, problem solved! he gets what he wants, your arm gets a break, it's win-win :laugh:0 -

Maybe I am not a team player? Or maybe the other member of the team made me prefer the company of myself? If its not pleasurable, don't I have a responsibility to myself to make it so? Doesn't mean I want it this way forever LOL0 -

I can just plain do whatever I want -- OR --- not do anything at all!! No one to appease - No one to "answer" to - no one to feel guilty about. Can talk to who I want, when I want with no interuptions. Go out with the girls and drink if I want!!
I can learn who I want to be and what I really ultimately want to do with my life.
Sleep how/when I want, eat what I want/when, not have to buy pop / junk food for someone to drink when water & healthy stuff is all I want. Work out at home with no comments about doing something "wrong"... no expecting someone to be responsible for things and then them NOT! No comments about how pretty another girl is or how much my *kitten* jiggles compared to "that-girl-over-there".
Even when I found a guy who seemed to want to give me the world, I am just not ready!
Too many pretty boys to kiss & hug still!! LMAO!!!0 -
My cat has much more room in my bed!0

Hi, everyone, I'm new to the group && sort of new to MFP. Here is my list of benefits of being single.
• To not be in a meaningless relationship
• To not be in a roller coaster relationship
• To not be celebrating affections with someone who won’t be with me 6 months to a year later.
• To not have the drama that relationships have these days (worrying about lies and being deceived, being cheated on, falling “out of love” if that was ever such a thing! LOL Because if you are in love, love never dies. Isn’t so sickly funny how many people say they are in love but then 6 months, even a year or years later on they aren’t together? Oh, but I thought you said you were in love?
• I am able to do WHAT I want, WHEN I want, && HOWever I want without asking the other what they think.
• Thankful to not be in a relationship with any idiots, psychos, or freaks.
• Don’t have to worry if my partner will be “hot or cold” the next day, in other words if our relationship will be great or on the rocks from day to day.
• Don’t have to worry if someone is pretending to be someone that they’re not to fool me.
• I don’t need to check in with anyone.
• Don’t need to deal with paranoia of if I’m doing something wrong or if the other is doing something wrong.
• I’M NOT SCARED TO BE SINGLE! Some people stay or are always seeking relationships because they are afraid to be alone. Thankful that I have not settled!
• I don’t have to worry about meeting anyone’s family and dealing with awkward first impressions.
• Thankful to be single so that I won’t be suffering damaged relationships and gaining enemies or broken friendships.
• Don’t have to worry if a significant other and my family gets along and vice versa.
• I don’t have to feel expected to do or act certain ways/things.
• Don’t have to suffer days waiting by the phone wondering if something is wrong when they don’t call.
• I can travel whenever and wherever without the other person being upset and possibly getting in the way.
• Don’t have to worry about the other becoming jealous of me talking to people that they feel inferior about.
• Don’t have to feel obligated to do this or that when I really don’t want to.
• Don’t have to deal with someone saying I shouldn’t do something or getting involved with someone who could be controlling.0 -
It's just great to be free, no trappings or mind games. Discovering who you are again after a bad relationship seems to be vrey liberating.
Oh, and I have discovered that starfish shaped in bed is the way to be - happy days.. 0 -
Eating what I want, when I want
Flirting with a cute guy and not feeling bad about it
Not having to shave my legs
Not feeling like I have to explain myself
Not worrying what he is up to
That being said... I hate being single. I love having a partner and all that we can offer each other. 0 -
LOVE this!!!Being able to satisfy oneself in bed without having a second person think that is an invitation/requirement to include them. Was that nicely phrased? LOL0
