    You have to find a way to get all the hard to open jars (pickles, sauces, etc) opened on your own.

    You have to kill any creepy crawly thing that manages to get under a door, window, or wall somewhere (spiders!!).

    I actually miss my single, independent days. Nothing like coming home to a clean house every day, doing what I want, when I want to, every. time., and not having to worry about someone elses' *kitten*.

    when you're sick there's no one to run to the pharmacy for you

    the bed is cold in the winter and there's no one there to pre-warm it for you

    no one to help you carry in the groceries

    if something in the house is broken, you know it was your fault.

    This^

    That is about all I can think of. I would gladly clean up after someone in exchange for not being lonely!

    PROS:
    The house is as clean or as dirty as I want it to be.
    I can watch any and all shows I want.
    Peace and quiet.
    No one to answer to or worry about.
    The sense of pride you get from "Oh, I live alone".
    Your money is your money.

    CONS:
    No live-in support system (financial or emotional).
    3rd, 5th and 7th wheel to many events.
    No bug killer!
    No repair guy!
    Lonely nights.
    Dinner for one, almost every dinner.

    Sometimes, I can spend the better part of an afternoon trying to get a jar open!

    Are you volunteering to inspect my undercarriage and give me a quote for the damage repair?

    Honey, hire yourself some movers and watch boys do the work. That's the way I have done it for 3 years now and I will never move myself again.

    Two words: Blind Dates
    People always pick something you do too much of.
    Being the "single" friend and being asked why you are still single
    Car repairs

    I've been alone and independent(ok i still live with my dad BUT i do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and pay some bills, so im not a freeloader) for so long, that it is very very hard for me to find a man. I am not a co-dependent person, which most men love in a woman(they say they won't, but really they do) Also, i'm not damsel in distress...if i need something, I do it. I don't even like to talk to my boyfriend everyday....what could we possibly talk about every single freaking day? Let some time pass so i actually have things to talk about, not just say that my day was same ole same ole and then have dead air inbetween the akward attempts at conversation. Let me miss you....I don't want to see you everyday either, I have things i need to do. The only thing i need a man for is to sex me up and reassure me that i'm hot. Men don't like that I really don't need them for much, so they move on to the needier women. I also live in a small town.....so if i moved to a city i'm sure id find some men who found my independence attractive, but 'round these parts they all want a stay at home wife that is like Mrs. Cleaver, and thats just not me.

    Keep on lookin' ... the man who loves independent women will come along and you'll be so happy he loves you when you need it, and stays the hell out of your way when you don't.

    I find it hard to date someone. They are usually threatened by the fact I have lived alone and been single for over two years. And, I am threatened by their wanting to help me or if they seem too dependent. I pay all my bills, change all my light bulbs, and etc I am responsible for me and me alone LOL. That is enough :) I find when I do have company for the night... I toss and turn because I know I have someone in my king bed. Not because I am excited, because I am so used to it just being my bed. I am going to have an interesting time someday when I date or get a room mate :D

    Now Carol, I love you like a fat kid loves brownies and ice cream with caramel and nuts topping... but NO!!! If a man says he is married and independent, you would be all in his grill. One of the definition for Independent is "not depending on others for aid or support", and a marriage is just that.

    I also wish my college kids can be independent, but no such luck here...leeches.

    I'd been single for over 20 years when I met my husband and had raised 2 daughters by myself for much of that time. He wasn't intimidated by me (though his whole family was impressed by jar-opening trick) and I didn't have trouble letting him into my my life or home. When it's right, it's just right.
