I do whatever I want whenever I want and don't have to compromise or consider someone else.

Setting my own timetable, doing and eating what I want, when I want.

Since I'm an introverted person with an extroverted job, being single gives me the time I need to recharge. I don't have to spend energy on another person if I don't want to.

No demands on my time, all the is mine, peace and quiet in the house, no in-laws…

I love being the decision maker for everything I do. My house, my life, my tv, my bed. My choice. Though, I do kind of miss having that one person I could usually count on to do things with.

The toilet seat is always down .... LOL .....

farting off-key.

Able to make plans on the fly. Don't have to check in with a spouse to see if he needs me for anything. You can live in a moderately cluttered home without someone complaining. You can wake up in wee small hours of moring and put on music.

Not having to go places or do things that I don't want to..

The fact that nobody will ever find out that I cry myself to sleep

Not having to compromise.

I can switch sides of the bed or even sleep in the middle if I want.

If I make a mistake or something goes wrong with me, it's much more likely that nobody has to pay the consequences but me; therefore less guilt, and much less potential for guilt.

Having the complete freedom to do as I please, anytime I please, with anyone I please.

I can get lost in what ever creative piece I'm working on with out having to worry about keeping in touch with someone.

There is one less person lying to me.

I can stay out late and not having to check with anyone. Not getting the evil eye for arriving late. I can go to any restaurant and try different food without checking with anyone. I can listen to any radio station that I want and watch any television show that I want. The best one is not being expected to read someone's mind to know what she expect me to do or say or answer. No honey do list. That being said, it is possible that so far I haven't found a woman that I am willing to give up those perks for. All the good ones that I know are already taken and all I have had so far are the bad ones.

I can sleep with the fan on, eat wherever I want, sit anywhere at the movies, get up when I want, go to bed when I want and never have to think about what I say just in case it can be construed in the worse possible context.

Zero accountability to anyone but myself--for the most part. I do have responsibilities, after all.

Interesting question to pose to a bunch of peeps who all, to at least some degree, are trying to NOT be single here. LOL!

The ability to play with different play mates, sometimes at the same time.

Living the low hygine life style.

Having the bed to myself. On the flip side it's one of the worst things too.

I can come and go as I choose; do what I want when I want; and I hardly ever argue with myself.

Having never been married, I really have no frame of reference. I will say that for me, my dad lives with me and keeps me in check. once he is gone though, I have no idea what will happen. The biggest con for me would be that I would have no one to keep me in check so to speak. I may be free to do anything, but there are things that I would be free to do, that I might want to do, but I know is a very bad idea.

Not saying of course that being married would change that. But the fear of being alone stems from the fear of my own stupidity. OK, I know that was not the awesomeness of being single. But it is my POV! Which is probably not the story for most who are single.
