10 Grunnen til og holde deg singel

[Gjest Gjest]

Your Career Will Benefit

When a guy is climbing the corporate ladder, he can’t think twice about staying late at the office or hitting the strip club with the boss. Girlfriends demand quality time -- as they should -- but you won’t be able to give it to her if you want that corner office. If you ever hear that the guy in the next cubicle just got engaged, congratulations to you. While he’s out shopping for dinnerware, your path to success has been cleared.

You Never Need To Make Plans For Two

Happiness means never having to ask permission. The benefits of having a significant other -- the nurturing and sharing and all that other crap -- all go out the window as soon as your mate asks you to go to Las Vegas and you realise you need to check with your girlfriend first. It’s not just the big trips, but the small ones that rankle most. Want to grab a quick bite or a few beers on a whim? Not so fast; she might have something else planned for you already. And it’s unlikely to include lap dances.

You'll Be Healthier

The first thing a guy does upon locking down a girlfriend or tying the knot is let himself go. There’s no need to eat right or exercise if you’re not chasing skirt. Once you sit down on the couch to watch a Hugh Grant movie with your significant other, you aren’t getting up -- ever. Single guys keep themselves in peak physical condition in order to attract female attention. Damn, I’m prepared to run a marathon on the off chance I could get laid at the end.

Weddings Are More Fun

Marriage is a celebration of love, commitment and the opportunity to nail lonely women. I like the little program you get when you arrive for the ceremony. I immediately look for the list of bridesmaids. For single guys, this is our first taste of the menu for the evening. The marriage of a man and woman who love each other often leads to premarital sex between a man and woman who barely know each other.

You Can Enjoy Your Personal Space

I haven’t had a roommate in six years (since I was 24). It is glorious. If you’re an absolute slob, then I guess there’s some benefit to living with your girlfriend. But if you can maintain some modicum of cleanliness, you will be ever thankful you’re single, live alone and can go to the bathroom with the door open. My refrigerator has a drawer labelled “fresh produce.” That’s where I keep the beer.

You'll Save Money

Bachelors spend a lot of money on women for sure: on taking them out, on buying them the occasional gift and especially on buying enough drinks for ourselves to work up the courage to talk to them in the first place. But no one spends more than a married guy. Redoing the living room, taking trips out of town to visit her family and (gasp!) even having a kid -- these are all big-ticket items I never touch. I may have commitment problems, but at least I’m earning interest on them.

The Sex Is Better

There are certainly benefits to sleeping with the same girl night after night: You get to know your significant other’s likes and dislikes, and she yours. And she’ll eventually make peace with you falling asleep immediately afterward. But that’s about it. For single guys, sleeping with a variety of women means you never have to picture another girl in your head while you’re doing the deed. Plus, we can also fall asleep immediately afterward -- or at least pretend to until she finally leaves.

You Can Watch Whatever You Want

When my DVR doesn’t record a program, I know exactly whose fault it is. It's mine, since I’m the only one who ever touches the thing. Never underestimate the power of wielding complete control over the remote. If I want to switch every 15 seconds between the football and another previously recorded episode of the football, there’s no one to stop me. True bliss is not getting dirty looks from your girlfriend just because you want to watch a Megan Fox movie on mute.

You Can Spend More Time With Your Friends

Guys who are about to get married are very fond of telling their boys that “nothing is going to change; we’re still gonna hang out.” Trust me, everything changes. When guys get out of a relationship or get divorced, the first thing they do is get the old band back together. That’s because guys need quality time with their friends. It keeps us sane and they get us drunk. For bachelors, every night is a boy's night out.

You Learn What You Need From A Relationship


Being single offers one final advantage that doesn’t get talked about much. Couples deny it and single people themselves rarely realise it. But the fact is, being alone is an incredible opportunity to learn about yourself. In fact, I suggest that the longer you’re single before getting married, the better off you’ll be, because only single people truly know what makes them happy. Unless you’ve spent years drinking your inhibitions away, putting yourself out there, experiencing the thrill of one-night stands, and coping with the agony of rejection, how can you really know yourself? Playing the field is merely doing due diligence while having a blast to boot. More importantly, what fun is married life if you don’t have any high jinks to reminisce about? Waking up next to your wife every morning must be twice as reassuring after you’ve spent 10 years waking up next to chicks you have had to introduce yourself to.

Første poeng er "hitting the strip club with the boss." Kunne lista vært mer amerikansk?

10 Reasons to Be in a Relationship

• Remember that being in a relationship is good for you. Statistics show that married people live longer than their unmarried counterparts. They also have higher happiness levels. There is no crime in being single—it may be your destiny—but marriage does seem to make sense from a health standpoint.
• Those who continue to create more love in their lives also create more opportunity, money, and fun. When you have someone by your side who is striving for the same goals, they are attained much more easily.
• Relationships can help to make us better people. Often we have the energy to do things for others that we wouldn’t do for ourselves. Love is powerful in that way. If your partner brings out the best in you, he or she is a keeper.
• You can get more done when you have a partner. Sometimes it’s a matter of motivation. Other times it’s just nice to have company. Whatever the reason, four hands can get more done than two. Putting your heads and hearts together helps as well.
• Turning things around can be much easier than you think. Usually we are just being stubborn or resentful. Dropping your attitude and appreciating that your other half has been putting up with your peccadilloes can help to make you more understanding.
• Do nice things for no good reason, and be appreciative when that favor is returned. Life doesn’t give us many free lunches. Doing something nice for your mate, “just because,” makes life sweeter for both of you.
• Most people have more fun playing with others. Doing things by yourself can be very fulfilling for some, but many folks like the idea of enjoying life with a partner.
• Having someone who knows you deeply is validating. This is the gift of knowing that the wonderful things you do are not going unnoticed, and it gives you more reason to do them.
• Romance creates warmth, hope, and happiness. The more you have, the more you will enjoy your life. It sounds simple because it is.
• Having a hand to hold as you go through life makes the difficulties we all experience easier to deal with. When things go awry, knowing that your mate has your back will allow you to go through whatever you have to and come out the other side a more positive person.

10 grunner til å ikke bare gjøre som en selv ønsker?

Det med at sexen er bedre som singel, kan vel neppe stemme.. Mye bedre å ha sex med en person man virkelig er glad i. Og man slipper både kondom og kjønnssykdommer.

Jeg skulle akkurat til å si det samme!

[AnonymBruker]

Helt klart. I et forhold kan man jo og lære hverandre å kjenne hverandre på et langt dypere plan og, enn bare wham, bam, thank you mam. Og "Nå kan du gå."

Og med alle de utro partnere som finnes så er vell det litt feil ?.

Fast forhold garanterer ikke for at en slipper SOS. Tvertimot viser det seg.

Your Career Will Benefit

Tja, de fleste toppledere her i landet har både kone og barn, så det er en sannhet med modifikasjoner. Men klart, det er nok betydelig lettere å klatre til topps dersom man ikke må ta hensyn til familie.

You'll Be Healthier

Delvis sant, da mange slutter å trene like mye, men samtidig tror jeg menn i forhold spiser sunnere enn de som er single.

Weddings Are More Fun

Er det det? Ikke for jenter i hvert fall!

You'll Save Money

Dette er helt klart det dummeste argumentet! Alle undersøkelser viser jo at det er dyrere å være singel (i Norge), og at man sparer en god del penger på å være samboere.

The Sex Is Better

Dette varierer fra person til person. Jeg er ingen fan av ONS, så for min del ville sexlivet vært mer eller mindre ikke-eksisterende som singel. Tror dessuten de fleste foretrekker sex med en de er glad i fremfor tilfeldige.

You Can Watch Whatever You Want

True.

You Can Spend More Time With Your Friends

Klart det. Men ønsker man "boys/girl's night out" hver eneste dag da? Jeg for min del kunne aldri tenke meg det. Har man ikke barn, er det heller ikke sikkert man må ofre tid med venner. Jeg og min samboer treffer venner hver for oss når det måtte passe oss.

Nå er det mange fordeler og ulemper både med å være singel eller i forhold, men syns denne listen med grunner ble for lite reflektert.
