Advantages to both. I've done exactly what I wanted this evening, eaten what I wanted, watched what I wanted on TV. I'll go to bed when I want and if I move about too much in the night, no-one will care.
But that's it, isn't it? No-one will care.

Now...who on Earth voted that down? I bumped it back up because I found it profound and well said.

Happens to me a lot. Some people would vote me down whatever I said. I understand why, of course. All this popularity stuff and the nice comments I sometimes get really rubs people up the wrong way. There are so many people here who make fantastic comments and, for some reason, the focus always seems to end up on me.

If I tell you, you'll think I'm having a joke at your expense. But I'm not. I watched the third part of a four-part documentary called Small Teen, Big World about a 3'8" teenager making her way in the world. It's fantastic film-making, the kind of the thing the BBC does effortlessly.
It helps that she's pretty, engaging, intelligent, funny, and that her family are all kind of TV-friendly. Her mum, who is the same height, is an absolute riot. I'll be sorry next week as it's the last episode and it's such warm television that you really feel part of their lives.
After that, I watched a documentary about what happens on the planet in the period it takes the international space station to circle it (largely about the environment). And then I watched a documentary about the last flight of the space shuttle, which had lots of footage the public wouldn't normally see.
I whine about the BBC but they produced all of my television viewing yesterday.

It all depends. I know single people who live very fulfilled lives and people who've been in relationships for the wrong reasons. Relationships are no cure for loneliness or boredom.

Hmm before I ever had a relationship, I would have stayed single. I could do anything I wanted. Then I had a relationship and I shared what I wanted to do with someone special and many other things. Now single, I'd rather be in a relationship and have someone always there for me to love and be loved. I miss it very much and I can't wait till I find someone to love.

I always like having someone to take care of. I can go with being single because I do enjoy the freedom, but what's the point of doing whatever I want when I can't do it with someone I love.

If I think of all my friends, a ratio of 4:1 seem to be really codependent, and have been since adolescence. I've never had a relationship last longer than about half a year. I'm probably still pretty emotionally immature. I tend to feel very stifled in a relationship, especially after the first two months. I'm a fault finder.
Because I'm fairly independent, I don't always remember to call, and I don't like feeling obligated to do anything like that. I see the relationship itself as an authority figure to rebel against almost. I feel like society shapes the expected behaviour of two people when they're coupled. The falling for someone part, all the "first times" with a new person are SO much better for me. As soon as it's old hat, I start missing being completely my own person.
I think I'm a rarity for a male in that the reason I don't like relationships is nothing to do with sex. I can go a very long time without feeling deprived. When I get "the itch" it's more because I just want to be able to do exactly what I want when I want to, and I think that'll change the more I mature. At least, I hope it will.
I don't think I've been in love yet. Or, at the very least, I don't like throwing the word love around. I think people create love when they need it. I'm not needy. I'm lucky in that I have a very loving and close family and a very loyal and affectionate group of friends. So, when I'm single, I don't miss much about dating.

It's okay when you're among friends and you're single and you make a joke like "I will name my future son Magneto" but when you're in a relationship and you joke like the response isn't laughter.
Relationships are fun and great but there's always that panicky worry that things might be to serious. Which sucks if you're the kind of person never serious.

I prefer being single, no point in going into a relationship if you know you won't care about them.

depends on the person, some people like to stay single , so they have the free will to do anything with anyone and in anytime with no judgement , other likes relationship so they have a person that they can count on , trust and love
and others likes open relationship , a very rare ammout of people understand or are able to live with an open relationship because most of the people thinks its kinda weird, im one of them
i honestly prefer to be in a relationship , to have a partner u can spend happy time with , and keep you secure especially when the 2 understand each others well and worth each otherComment Hidden ( show ) -

LOL an ''open relationship.'' I mean, if you're fucking your friend, you're fucking your friend. Don't have to jazz it up with these sly terms.

you need to be able to experience what a relationship is like before you can decide this

there's ALWAYS some good stuff and bad stuff in ANY situations, for example : when your jobless, you have more free time but no money, when you have a job you have money but less time for yourself. It's the same for relationships: when your in a relationship you have less freedom for example
