Single and Loving It!!!!
 

Are we better off alone? Marriage is no magic bullet for happiness, some say.

But medical studies show just the opposite?that married people are happier and healthier than single people.

This is something that CNN posted this morning... What do you think are you better off Married or single???

married <- I have to say that

single.. gotta test drive the car before u buy it.

single and gigoling aound from girl to girl is best way

married, things are easier when you have a partner

But this type of lifestyle gets old and don't you find it a little empty?

I know I'm better off with out my ex-wife's.

Better off single... Indeed married couples have a reason to live longer (and even happier): their offspring.

yes sometimes , then i call up some of my married friends or hang with em and i feel better hehehe

I wouldnt mind aving a long term (over 3 week) g/f dont get me wrong

Married :)

I have been single for the past 5 months and I HATE it!! So now I go out every night, it's the same shit over and over again - it's just empty! Dating in our society has changed so much? it?s so hard to find somebody that you mesh well with.

Married, loving and hating it :)

I do hear what you are saying, I was with my girlfriend and she said marriage kills it, she thinks as soon as you sign that paper that when it all goes down hill... I don't know if I believe it... is this what your married friends are saying?

Pls explain ??

thats because when they asked the people that were married if they were happy, their significant other was standing right there... of course they are going to say yes :1orglaugh
^ i dont know this as a fact, but its my guess

i see it as it progresses.... they dont really need to say anything most of the marriages are still new also ...

i am losing wingmen left and right... they all get married wtfffvhow am i supposed to keep my game on at the clubs?:(

Marry your best friend and everything will be happily ever after.

:2 cents:

you start losing them 1 by 1, once you lose them all then it's your turn:-)

If 90&#37; of women where not such self-absorbed neurotic basket cases who try to turn every relationship into a soap opera then perhaps dating would be a better experience and guys would not live by the "hit it and quit it" rule.

This is so true!!! because at the end of the day, love fades, but when you are with your best friend, you will always have somebody to communicate with; you will have your best friend your partner in life... this is the best relationship

so....um, where do you hang out when you go out?

;-))

It depends on yours and your girl/guys personality. If you both are into the relationship, you'll be happy. If either secretly still wants to be single or just isn't completely feeling the relationship, it will be horrible.

I wouldn't say there is a for sure, blanket answer that covers everyone with this.

lol over 3 week.

Obviously now at the right places

Been single for 2 years now and I just put myself back into dating mode. Kind of miss the complicity you can have in a couple when all is working well.

Well hello there Gianna :)
WG

hey WG:winkwink:

I think the grass is always greener on the other side...

I prefer being married over the both thou.

I've been happy in relationships and I've been happily single. I've been miserable in relationships and I've been miserably single.

I think you're onto something, Gianna, when you say that dating has changed. I think we CAN ask for more out of a relationship than was previously expected, and it seems like a lot of people just can't or won't live up to these new expectations. Of course you could argue; why should they? It seems like the older and (thus) more confident I get, the less I am willing to put up with in another person. My current pattern is a "3 strikes and you're out" kind of thing. Five years ago I would have felt more obligated to work it out. Now I expect things to be entirely equal.

And, of course, the classic line:
Studies show that married men live longer than single men. And I disagree with that. I think it just FEELS longer.

Married, totally happy... going on 15 years together. Yeah we have had our crappy times, but they are far outweighed by the good stuff.

We both really like each other and encourage our individualism as part of the relationship. It makes a huuuuuuuuuuuge difference.

If you discontinue the desperation and just enjoy life someone will eventually come along . . . or they won't. Being single is not that bad unless you spend it wishing you weren't. :2 cents:

Im the kinda guy that likes to have a partner!

Lately I try not to have too many expectations - when you have expectations you get disappointed

15 years - that's great!!! life is full of ups and downs, money comes money goes but really everything means nothing if you don't have somebody to share it will... and when people understand this they can get through everything in life

well said

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo



:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Oooh I think that's a dangerous mode of thinking. It sucks to be disappointed, but it's better than not expecting anything at all. What you think you deserve is typically what you shall receive.

Single sucked compared to being married for me.

I read allot, and they all say you should never have any expectations...

But I think we all deserve the best - therefore I will never settle for anything less then that !

Gianna, still waiting for you to take me up on my offer. I picked out the ring and everything :)
