Is it normal that i believe people are better off single?

I'm not necessarily condemning romance or couplings but I believe that romance stinks and people are better off single/never getting in a relationship.

1) Most relationships end horribly.

2) Even though 1 person out of a couple likes his
or her partner, the person may like someone else instead.

3) 50% of marriages fail.

4) Too much drama and too much potential heartbreak.

5) Can't have a "Dream Man or Woman" because if you do, you're seen as a shallow asshole.

6) A woman can't win regardless of what she does. If she "Plays hard to get, she's a "stuck-up bitch" and if she willingly gets into any relationship quickly, she's a "Slut".

7) Most people just cheat on their partners anyway.

8) Why would you need a document or the law to say the both of you are a couple if you sincerely love each other? It's dumb.

9) If you have too much standards, then you're seen as a non-realistic child and if you have too few standards, then you're seen as a pathetic wimp for accepting anyone. It's bullcrap either way.

10) Friends with Benefits/Open Relationships. Ok, WTF is with this? FWBs are you kidding me? What the heck would people have sex with their friends? It's messed up and don't get me started with the whole "Open Relationship" crap. What is this? Why on Earth would you want YOUR partner having sex with strangers? What, you support Sexual Polygamy? Well, I don't support either. Polygamy of any kind should be obliverated. Monogamy is the only type of romantic relationship that's worth it.

and

11) Children. Most people believe they will "Save" a relationship or "bring them closer". It's been proven that couples WITH kids are far more likely to break up than those without kids. People lie and say that kids are the "Point of marriage". Really? And here I thought that marriage was supposed to be about the LOVE between 2 people, not their hypothetical/or not-so-hypothetical crotch dumplings. If you don't love each other when you get married, then you're only wasting the other's time.

So in closing, stay single (or atleast give it alot of thought before deciding you want a lover). Getting in a relationship just isn't worth it. I'm single and I'm happy about it.

    You make some very good points.

    10 you could make a better argument by saying fwbs creates jealousy and insecurities in your relationship with a person. Also people tend to form feelings for the people they sleep with so fwbs usually doesn't work out.

    I don't agree monogamy is the only relationship worth having though. A lot of people aren't capable of staying faithful In monogamous relationships and seek out other sexual relationships.

    Sounds like you're the one better off without relationships. I do agree with #6 though. People suck.

    You make some good points but, you have to realise that even single people are bound to face stigma/ire from others. It's like no one can truly win in this type of modern society.

    I agree most people are better off single but I don't agree with most your statements.

    I see nothing wrong with polygamy. If that's what they want to do it's nobody's business to judge. I think it actually makes sense because it prevents being stuck to just one person.

    I have never understood why our society is so obsessed with finding a partner. There are so many people who think they "need" somebody else. All anybody should need is themselves because you are the only one you cannot escape.

    There seem to be a lot of downfalls to relationships. It creates dependency which I think is really bad.

    Whenever I hear someone talking about them needing somebody to be happy or obsessing over another person I cannot help but wonder what is wrong with people.

    I've had a couple relationships and wouldn't mind doing it again someday if the circumstansis were right but I have no interest in looking for anybody. Most situations seem like they would just cause me problems though and I don't tolerate bullshit.
