All right, let's face it. There are several threads on here about how to get over someone and the heartbreak you feel in the process. It seems that being single is not an ideal situation for anyone, and most, especially after a break up, are extremely afraid of the possibility of this. I would like to start a top ten list I have made of why it is AWESOME to be single, and why you should enjoy this while you can!

1. No complaining... my toilet seat is up at all times!

2. Watching sports. Believe it or not, I don't have to sit there an answer questions about what a freaking first down is!

3. No more expensive, and most often bad dinners.

4. If the 'Notebook 2' comes out, guess who doesn't have to see it? (ME)

5. No more waiting around while my ex sleeps until 12 or 1pm in the afternoon.

6. 'Sex and the City' is no longer my show of choice.

7. I can actually talk to any hot chick I want without feeling as if I am a pig.

8. I do not have to visit her side of the family, which treats me as if I am the devil.

9. No more expensive gifts for b-days, holidays and the such. Valentines day is OUT!!

10. No more watching the worthless kU Jayhawks play!!

I know it is not a question, but seriously, time to enjoy life for some of you guys and gals. What have you come to enjoy about being single? I know you can think of at least one thing you love now! Let it rip...

Good thread, I know when I was single I loved it. I took advantage of all my new found free time.

The free time is the best.

You don't have to "clear" your plans or "check-in" with anyone.

If you do something a little on the idiotic side, you don't have anyone else getting mad at you except maybe yourself or your family.

No awkward meetings with the parents and relatives...

No more picking up the bar tab at the end of the night for her AND sometimes her friends.

You get to meet NEW girls and make NEW friends with out feeling like a jerk (although hooking up with someone and feeling like a jerk after the fact occasionally happens... but, what if she took advantage of me?? LOL).

No talks about marriage or people coming up asking when you are getting married (I hated that) and feeling weird when you say that you're not getting married yet in front of her...

No more feeling like I'm walking on egg shells.

No more worrying about things I said and then apologizing over and over again and never hearing the end of it.

No more wondering why she is pissed at me when I didn't think I did anything wrong.

Umm, I know there is more.

Enjoy your time being single and HAVE FUN. Meet and date new girls or guys. When you are ready to settle back down again, then you have a choice to make with that new special someone. Practice safety and take the proper precautions with everything you do.

Awesome thread. =P Some of those didn't apply to me though but definetely a girl is such a money waster -__- I believe everyone agrees with that especially valentines day, birthday etc...

Kc, you can't have your toilet seat up all the time... you will fall in!

Very nice list. Thanks!


No more feeling like I'm walking on egg shells.

This is definitely unnecessary added stress. I definitely don't miss this one.

Not only do we have more free time, overall our mind is freed up a lot. So many less things to worry about and I agree, we definitely have more money at our disposal. We definitely could use the extra cash in this economy!

This is a great post!

1. My time belongs only to me.

2. Also my money!

3. I get the opportunity to start all over. Not just relationship-wise.

4. I get to go out and meet new women while not looking for commitment. It's fun.

5. No more staying in on Fri/Sat nights because of my ex's anxiety disorder.

6. No more psychiatrist visits with the ex.

7. Most important of all: Life has just become a whole lot more interesting!

After being in a relationship for so long, I almost pity all the people who are stuck in relationships, whether happy or not. Hahaha. Just kidding. But not really. ;)

The number one reason to be single...

The ability to flirt and play with ANYONE without the guilt of being in a relationship and feeling like you have betrayed someone.

The number one reason to be single...

The ability to flirt and play with ANYONE without the guilt of being in a relationship and feeling like you have betrayed someone.
That never really bothered me, it's the times I broke plans with the ex and spent my time friends who didn't like her that did.

No more TV wars.

What a refreshing thread. THANK YOU. Yes, there is life after a relationship!!

The best thing is I have the bed all to myself (and the closet)!

Total freedom without the check-ins.

You can make and change your plans without consulting anyone!

Great thread.
When single you also realise that you do not need to be in a relationship with somebody else to be happy!

You can do what you like, hang around with friends, do the things you want to do without feeling that constant pressure of having to be with someone. Freedom is great isn't it. :D

Great Thread KC!. Life is all about finding happiness within yourself... Once I am truly at that stage I believe only then would I be able to actually SHARE my life with someone else... and not make them my life!.
Single life is awesome.. you learn about yourself and you can do so many spontaneous things... like go on trips half way across the world, see things you would have never dreamt of and help people that are really in need... its all about self development :)

Forgot to mention... I can now watch "Family Guy" without being crucified. How can you not like that show?

Can we get some female perspective on the joys of being single? I'm not sure, but most of the comments seemed to be from a guy's perspective. I really need a girl to put some Joys of Being Single. :)

Feel free to add to this... I know I was kind of throwing the ex under the bus, but I also am a realist... there are things she probably LOVES now that she doesn't date me... :D

Personally, I love being single, but as a female, it's about the power to choose. Men have that too but it's so nice to not have any attachments.

No one to pick up after.

No mother to pretend to like/tolerate because she is the most important women in a man's life (most of the time.)

No feelings of jealousy and wondering what is he thinking?

The toilet seat is always down! ;)

No planning the dinner menu for the week.

No additional laundry.

I can stay in my pjs ALL weekend long, if I want to.

LOTS of free drinks when I go out. :D

Overall being single is empowering. You are answering to no one except yourself.

KC man I feel bad for you. You actually had to watch the jayhawks. I am glad you are out of that mess!!

Here it is from a girl, my joys of being newly single after an 8 year relationship:

-No dirty underwear on the bedroom floor
-The bathroom stays clean
-I don't have to account for my whereabouts
-When I get a phone call from a male, I don't have to give a detailed explanation of how I know him and the context of our relationship
-More time for friends
-New first kisses

Wait a minute... you're a female and you keep the bathroom clean?? I have got to meet you!! ;)

Yes Justy- the toilet seat is always down!

I can date/flirt different with guys without worrying about being "caught".

I can sleep in whatever I want. Because NOBODY feels like wearing lingerie EVERY night!

I can skip a day shaving my legs.

I can have popcorn for dinner.

I can talk on the phone to my girlfriends without him assuming I'm talking about him.

No pretending that I like his friends.

No pretending that I care about his brother's big game.

Or pretending like his baby cousin is cute.

Or having to wear 4 inch heels on date nights

No having to be Betty friggin' Crocker.

Sometimes I like to shower alone; just get in, do the job, and get out.

No feeling like he's snooping looking for old cards or letters from exes. Which I don't keep. Which is why it's really annoying.

Aside from picking up my son from daycare, I don't have to come straight home or deal with being grilled as to "What took you so long today?"

I don't have to hear "What's wrong with you? Are you on your period?" just because I don't feel like talking. Guess what, sometimes us ladies want to come home, crack open a beer, and chill out without having to 'talk about our feelings'!

Whew. That was a lot. :o

I love the not being questioned about that time of the month! I absolutely can not stand the minute I have an opinion that is overly vocalized then it must be that time!! Why can't I just have an opinion.

You have no idea... so watch your step, MISTER! :p

Must be that time of the month....:rolleyes:

Don't start nothing KC! :mad::p

Oh my gosh, I'm certainly not single and I love my husband more than anything but I can tell you the things I miss about being single.

When I was cleaning up the house I was only picking up after me, took 1/2 the time it takes me now

I didn't have toothpaste all over the mirror in the bathroom- I still don't know how he does that.

I didn't have dirty socks and clothes all over the floor and under the bed.

Dirty laundry was sorted by which load it was going into in the wash.

There weren't dirty dishes/glasses or pop cans all over the house.

I could do whatever I wanted for dinner, didn't have to ask anyone what he wanted for dinner

Just to name a few. I realize they're almost all based on him not picking up after himself. Lol

Thought of some more:

I can paint my bedroom pink if I want to. Hell, I can do whatever I want in decorating the whole house. (No more red-neck, tacky singing fish on the wall at Christmastime)

I can cook whatever I want for dinner or NOT cook at all.

Less dishes and laundry. (This may be reason enough to stay living alone forever)

The wet towels actually dry because they get hung back up!

No more "Where were you when I called?" UGH. I hated that.

I can Google anything I want without worrying he's going to overreact if he checks the history

I actually am in a relationship now. But I was married for 12 years!

(I replaced the singing fish on the wall with the divorce decree! )

Friend4U178: Yes, I really did. You're not too surprised I learned my husband wasn't quite the catch

Friend4U178: Yes, I really did. You're not too surprised I learned my husband wasn't quite the catch

LOL... maybe you were throwing out the wrong bait ;)

I guess I'm happier not having to worry where he is or what he's doing plus watching my step to see if I'll do something he won't like.

I guess I'm happier not having to worry where he is or what he's doing plus watching my step to see if I'll do something he won't like.

hellz yes. You got all the freedom now. Lol I'm doing nc too and sometimes its so hard but I got tons of free time now for myself and I can do anything I want. Sometimes freedom feels good for a change =P

I'll throw my hat in the ring on this one:

#1. Being able to take a shower while drinking a beer.

#2. Not having to Tivo the Cubs game because she wants to watch Lifetime.

#3. My thermostat stays on one setting... no more up and down.

#4. Not having to remember to take the "adult movie" out of the DVD player before she gets home.

#5. PORN!

#6. I can keep a keg in the refrigerator.

#7. Watching the Bears on Sunday while drinking beer and eating cheese out of a can.

#8. The phrase "today on Oprah" is no longer mentioned in my house.

#9. Potpourri, scented candles... you won't find them in my house.

#10. Boxers are now acceptable dinner attire.

I notice that most of the "joys" people have listed here are, strictly speaking, the joys of not living with a significant other, rather than joys associated with not having one at all.

I've felt for a long time that the ideal relationship/marriage arrangement would be separate living quarters in the same neighborhood. So many issues would simply disappear if all the tedious negotiations and compromises over things that don't really matter became unnecessary.

I feel like if we're going to come to loggerheads, we should at least do it over something more significant than the state of the toilet seat, or who is more inconvenienced by whose kitchen and laundry habits.


"Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are." --Thoreau

"And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cyprus grow not in each other's shadow." --Gibran

No more "one week" of hell every month... YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!

I also can leave my television on the NFL Network 24 hours a day to stimulate my mind... no changing the freaking channel to watch the three dumbest blondes I have ever seen (Girls Next Door)

Okay here it goes:

To be able to pause and breathe at your own time and space

To remember who you are and what your values, morals and respect are and to stick to them

No more rushing around like a headless chicken getting a thousand things done for him

All the money I earn is mine and mine to spend and save for my future

To be able to go and book a holiday or a weekend get-a-way in a jiffy- and off I go!

To be able to play loud music at 6am in the morning when getting ready for work and to use your hairdryer without him groaning that you are apparently disturbing his sleep

Never to clean the bathroom mirror as there is no more toothpaste splattered about!

Nor pick up after his mess

To be able to walk, smile, chat and flirt with guys and not feel guilty

To plan your day, week as and when they come, without justifying your reasons

To go shopping and buy things for you that you like, rather than what he likes for you

To feel innovative about your future- what will it bring?

To re-address your goals and aspirations in life and to make a better future for you

To finally feel EMPOWERED! – Yes it does finally come…slowly but surely it is coming- oh dear- haha!

@KC: I liked watching Girls Next Door... for obvious reasons. Actually, I liked watching most of the shows the she watched, with the exception of the Lifetime channel. That channel makes all guys look like wife beating D-heads. No wonder, women never trust us...

America's Next Top model is also not one of my favorites. The women are nice to look at, but watching 9+ episodes in a row is a killer!

Her watching habits superseded mine 90% of the time, but I really didn't care. It gave us something to talk about, which was nice.

The only way I could watch Girls Next Door is if it was on mute. If I hear Kendra (sp?) laugh out loud one more time in my life, I will cut my ears off!

LOL!! Yeah, her laugh is REALLY annoying...

Today I just woke up at 1:30 pm without having to wake up at 9 am to keep her company -___- and I feel well rested and ready to start my day =P not tired and wanteing to sleep all day =P

Having to babysit her at a bar was always a HUGE drawback to going out with the ex...

Now I can just babysit myself!

My vote for the Number 1 reason...

No more fighting for the covers all night long. :D

That is probably enough work all by itself ;)

you don't need to fight for the covers because she ll be so close to you and it ll get hot without the covers but it is nice to have the covers though T_T sigh... =P

I think I need to pull some man cards in this thread...

10. Watch the History channel

Yes! If it was remotely intellectual my ex couldn't stand it, and watching it alone was simply not an option.

I got suckered into watching ONE season of AI, and I rooted for Chris Daughtry, and then they voted him off. I stopped watching and claimed the show a hoax, which I think have been proved right because he is the only one who you remember from that season.

I cannot believe I just ranted about that,
: Does a Tim Taylor grunt::

I feel better now

Now that is a good time... Remember to take LOTS of pictures of the first game. They get so lost out there.

Oh I am taking a TON of pictures, I have opening day Saturday too. So my fiancé and I will be using that digital camera A LOT

Huh?

so guys..... who do you think will win american idol 2009? =P =P =P =P =P

OK, this thread has gone completely to hell. I'm out of here.

OK, this thread has gone completely to hell. I'm outta here.

It was just a jokes -_- since no one likes american idol... you don't have a sense of humour do you? -_-

Well yes I do agree being single is great. I do not have to deal with whining. I do not have to deal with his always getting mad over the dumbest stuff. I also do have to deal with someone who only wants sex.y last boyfriend talk about that all the time. I never had it with him. I don't also have to worry about being cheated on.

I have to say that I barely remember being single. I've been with my husband for half my life.

But, I do remember a few perks of single life.

1. Not having to share the bed with someone who snores.

2. Sole possession of the remote control.

3. Being able to leave the toilet seat down. ;)

4. Flirting with whomever I wanted to without feeling guilty.

5. One night stands (it doesn't make you a bad person)

6. Doing whatever and whoever you want whenever you want.

I've been drinking tonight. You may want to ignore this post. :(

It took me some months to deal with being single (booty calls don't count).

But now I can safely say I really am enjoying my "me" time.

Of course, as luck would have it, as soon I've started enjoying this time by myself - I've ended up meeting someone pretty awesome. And now I'm kind of bummed my "me" time could be coming to an end. Poo.

Being single is fun ! Here's some more

- getting to do whatever I want, less worries
- not feeling pressured to act a certain way and dress a certain way
- being able to study in peace and quiet (no guitars or music blasting)
- going down to the ballpark and being able to enjoy my fave team clinch a spot in the playoffs without having to listen to him complain the whole time about people and rushing me out early to "beat traffic" (and I'M the woman!)
- no attachments, no strings
- being able to return the smile to a cute guy and not feel bad
- not having to deal with the whole "I'd be angry and jealous if you made out with or left me for a guy but if it's a girl that totally fine because it's hot"
- easier to focus on me and my life (no distractions)

Since we are talking about bathroom issues as one of the annoying things in a relationship, here is a play by play of the way it works, from our perspective! Don't you guys tell me this isn't how it's done! :p

lol how are you and danny doing starbucks? =P is he treating you right? is he still singing songs to you? love songs? lol but anyways who says he can't have 2 wife? lol you and and nikosmom can be both his wife LOL =P =P

If you watch closely tonight, you will see him give me a secret signal, while he's singing his song only to me. He only went on Idol so he could sing to me on TV, and all the world could hear! He doesn't care what the judges say to him, and in fact he doesn't even know they are there! Just watch, when he is talking to Ryan after his song?. he will make a hand gesture. He is just telling me what time he will be home! :D

Y'all are ate up.

I have to disagree Starby... I cannot say I have seen a dirtier shower than those that woman use... you guys shed like freaking dogs!! I mean, there is hair everywhere! I remember when I stayed at my ex's dorm room, and used her bathroom, it was almost as if Big Foot had shaved... just nasty (now, granted, four girls shared the bathroom).

Or maybe your ex secretly had an affair with Big Foot, I'm just saying

Or maybe your ex secretly had an affair with Big Foot, I'm just saying

That bit**!! So that's what was going on...

All this time I thought the mass orders of Nair were just coincidence...

Actually, this would have been impossible. There is no way Big Foot could have put up with my ex!

Touché KC, touché

If I could I would permanently remove every hair on my body from the neck down. :D Would make for a more painless future.

I wondered how long until the complaining about all of the hair in the drair would come up... It's one of my partner's biggest pet peeves...

Along, with all of the bathroom countertop clutter that belongs to me. Another of his pet peeves.

Bathroom clutter is right! I don't know how many freaking hair utensils it takes to make your hair look good... hair dryer, curling iron, hair straightener... am I missing anything (and of course they must all be plugged in and going at the same time)? The 80 different lotions, hair chemical bottles and such everywhere... AHHHH

Yep, that is about the story I hear about once a month... but at our house the only things allowed to be on the countertop are the hand soap and toothbrushes... that is it!

On days when I use a curling iron or hair dryer, he goes nuts because they will still be out after work because I can't put them away hot. Geesh, you men.

Speeking of "about once a month"... :D

Don't start nothing KC!

I can't possibly be the only girl that actually cleans the hair out of the drain when I get out of the shower?

The hair products kill me! I like things put away neatly. So maybe the woman on here can explain a few things to me.


1. When you take off your shoes, why is it so hard to put them back into the closet? They have friends there, they like it there, I promise.

2. How many different hair products are needed? I mean, hair spray, hair gel, hair gel for curls, hair gel for frizz, hair gel for the Monday of the third month and 4 week of the year! Come ON!

3. How many different types of make up need to be applied daily? I sometimes wonder if my fiancé actually has a face.

4. Why is it that guys can shower, get dressed, watch a TV show and be ready to go, before your hair is even done?

Oh boy, well for starters, I can be ready to go before my husband if I need to. I don't speak for all women, but 5-10 min in the shower, a little bit of mousse for my hair (when I wear it curly) blow dry for a few min. apply moisturizer and foundation.

My shoes do go in the closet but that's because I like them in one piece and we have a puppy who, on occasion, decides she wants to eat shoes.

1. It's not hard to put shoes in the closet. They're out of the way then.

2. I use mousse if I wear my hair curly- as stated before- and just a smoothing milk or whatever if I'm going to straighten it.

3. I think with makeup, less can be more. I actually sell Mary Kay and I see some of the directors that show up there looking like clowns. I don't even want to look like that.

4. well, I already answered that one. It's just a matter of wanting to look nice for our boys though. ;)

My partner can literally be showered, dressed and ready to go out the door in ten minutes...

I am not even out of the shower in ten minutes!

Don't worry Zoe, I clean up my hair but I have the weirdest way of handling my constant shedding so most of the time I don't have to clean the drain, but we do have a drain cover that stops the hair.

Boy the joys of being single is really turning into a battle of the sexes.

It seems that way doesn't it? Lol.

The good side of being single.

1.I don't have to sleep on the wet patch!

2.no more having the same argument over and over.

3.I can talk to my friends on the phone for as long as I like.

4.I don't have to hide my shopping bags, (no more lying about how many bargains I got)

5.I can wear whatever the hell I want.

6.no more going into panic mode because he says 'by the way my family will be here at 3 for dinner'

7.I don't have to shave my legs everyday.

8.I can put on a face mask and have a girls night in.

9.I can stay on the computer as long as I like.

10.I can be me.

Boy the joys of being single is really turning into a battle of the sexes.

I don't think it really has anything to do with gender. I'm sure gay and lesbian couples that live together have all the same issues. It's the neat freaks versus the slobs.

1.i dont have to sleep on the wet patch!

That too me way too long to get...

Did you not read how men and women shower? :p

My shoes actually stay wherever I take them off, but I can do that because I live alone now, and trust me it's going to stay that way. :D

Now, this next one made me laugh. What is the average length of most mens hair?. and a girls? My hair is down to the middle of my back. It takes 10 minutes just to wash it and put conditioner in. If I didn't do that, you wouldn't want to see the amount of hair that would be in that drain. Also, I don't want a migrane by the time I've combed it out if it isn't conditioned. Then a lot of us have to put in a color protector, or we would be spending more money going to get it colored or get highlights more often. Then there is the facial scrub so we can get whatever makeup was on before, off. Then we're at shaving the legs. That takes 5 minutes at the least, unless we want our legs bleeding all over the floor! Now we can finally use the soap or shower gel.

Then out of the shower and try and comb through all of that hair. Then all of those products you guys talk about. If we didn't use these, it would take us even longer to get ready. It makes it easier to style, and keeps it from hanging in our faces, or flying all over the place and all over you guys. Then we have to put on lotion, and a face moisturizer so we don't have bags under our eyes, or lines on our face earlier than necessary. Then it's time to to your face! Some foundation with SPF, maybe some eyeliner or a bit of eyeshadow, mascara, a little bronzer, lip stick, lip gloss.

Okay, now it's time to dry and style our hair. Now depending on where you want to take us, this can take a short time or a very long time. Also, it depends on the type of hair we have. Me, well my hair is bone straight and fine. If I want it to do anything at all with it, I need volumizer, and some gel or mousse. Then some scrunching spray if I just want to scrunch it dry. That is the most quick way. It's a whole different story if I want it straight, or curly that day. Then maybe we can get dressed! This again will depend on where you are taking us!

Tired yet? Us too! :p

But you guys would not want it any other way just to get out of the door faster ALL of the time. Trust me, you wouldn't. You guys should thank us for making you wait! We do it for you you know! :D

Ps: There are a bunch of things I left out too!

This post has definitely brightened my spirit.

MRS.S

Bathroom clutter is right! I don't know how many freaking hair utensils it takes to make your hair look good...hair dryer, curling iron, hair straightener...am I missing anything (and of course they must all be plugged in and going at the same time)?? The 80 different lotions, hair chemical bottles and such everywhere...AHHHH

Well KC, We do have fab technology these days you know eg:

you can get your hair relaxed or curlyed up at the salon= no hair products, no hair utensils, just ONE hairdryer- a quick blast of 5 minutes and its all done lol.

Has anyone ever seen any of the movie stars or singers without hair and makeup? Eeeekkkk! There are so many of them that you wouldn't even recognise!

(Hi Zee :))

That's me.

Kristin Kreuk without make-up.

Sorry ladies... some guys are just so good looking naturally that make up would flat out be an insult...

Of course, there are certain women that have that ability as well ;)

I think that's great for the people that try so hard to be like them [and to remind us that celebrities are people too].

I don't remember who said this but she said something amongst the lines of "I looked on the cover of a magazine and I said to myself 'I wish I looked like her'- and it was me."

MRS.S

I would add that I can sleep as wild as I want and don't have to worry about hearing complaints about my snoring.

I forgot to add that I would be able to watch Lifetime all I want on the big TV even when a game is on.

Aww you snore? I drool when I'm really tired.

MRS.S

Aww you snore? I drool when I'm really tired.

MRS.S

Yeah and when I am really tired, forget about it.

I have to say that it's nice to sleep in a bed without crusty 20 layer thick, feeling like sandpaper feet, rubbing up and down my smooth calves. UGH.

Haha- what about the farting? I believe no one posted anything about the farting yet..

MRS.S

::hides head::

I am worse than my partner.

Or the burping. You can let it all out.

You gals sure do know how to turn a guy on...

I may have cured my addiction in one post.

I will never be able to show my screen name in public again.

You gals sure do know how to turn a guy on...

I thought guys like it when a girl was comfortable... :p

MRS.S

I have a friend,she's a good roundy type of a woman,brown hair blues eyes pale skin.. I think she is attractive, and yet when she's goes out for a night on the tiles,its fake tan (dark oak kind of a colour) brown contact lenses,hair extenstions,push up bra,tummy tuck jeans,fake nails,5 inch heels and a whole lot of attitude..

I asked her why? Who are you doing this for?

If her answer was because it made her feel good,well,fair enough.. but she said men don't like the natural look..

I think she's wrong,natural is good.Not hairy back natural! But,you know what I mean.

::hides head::

I am worse than my partner.

Sometimes I think my husband is sleeping and then I hear him start giggling. Then we both lay there laughing for a minute.

Hey no husband talk allowed this is single life we're talking about [just kidding]:p

Redhead I think you forgot the little chicken inserts that goes in the bra [giggles]

MRS.S

Yeah I know. Sorry... I figured we were so far off track at some points that it was OK.

It's our counterparts that remind us of the joys of when we were single, so they are allowed. :D

Just thought of another good reason for being single.. I don't have to clench my buttocks in bed,hold in my tummy and try and lie in a sexy 'hey baby' pose after eating a heavy meal and a few drinks.

It's our counterparts that remind us of the joys of when we were single, so they are allowed. :D

I had to spread the rep, but exactly! LMAO

Redhead, I get your point. This girl on my block looks like a clown to me. She goes taning all the time but I think she stays in there too long because her complexion is unreal.

I don't know why but I never been into make-up. The most I wear is lipstick or plain old lip gross. I have tons of lip gross because I buy a bagfull all the time.

I don't like fake nails, can't type nor draw blood from patients, so I don't bother. The only thing I do righteously is get my toes done twice a month--whether or not if I am with someone.

Farting in bed without being judged

just thought of another good reason for being single..i dont have to clench my buttocks in bed,hold in my tummy and try and lie in a sexy 'hey baby' pose after eating a heavy meal and a few drinks.

That was fuuny. I guess you don't have to impress them by buying all those sexy undergarments. Before I meant my fiancé I wore strictly boyshorts and mostly sport bras.

Now I wear sexy bras and thongs. The only down side to wearing thongs is that goes deeper in your butt when you fart-this is most uncomfortable feeling, especially if your out somewhere.

If things work out with the lovely brendan the thongs will be whipped out big time!

Ah man,what if I end up on the relationship crisis thread.. (im not even going to think about that.. positive positive positive) and please god one day ill be holding in the farts.

Um, ah, what? :confused:

redhed35 agrees: ok ok! im infatuated with brendan,i somehow have to bring him into a conversation!

With an infatuation like this, you may end up on the relationship thread...

Always good to calm yourself.

Too clingy and infatuated too quickly, can have a man running for the nearest exit.

Also, this is not a "conversation" this is a question and answer site, not a chat room, not a place to just randomly write something that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

MRS.S

I can see the look on a guy a face if you take the silicone inserts out, priceless.

Is it bad that I don't notice a difference between the before and after, except the tan on the second picture?

Hmmm. ;)

In the after photo her breast looks a little more fuller and it gives it a lift. But then again the after photo might not be the same set of breasts from before because the after photo do looke more taner than the before photo.The silicone breast is a scam. Shame on them!

Is it bad that I don't notice a difference between the before and after, except the tan on the second picture?

Hmmm. ;)

Oh there's a difference all right Alty... :cool:

Is it bad that I don't notice a difference between the before and after, except the tan on the second picture?

Hmmm. ;)

I wouldn't call it "bad". I'd say it indicates that you probably aren't a man trapped in a woman's body. Which is a good thing, right?

Love this thread KC ;) what a great idea.

of course I'm dating, but I'm still single-ish (seeing as I am a relationship and I can do what ever I like,)

lol I wanted to make a list as well. (lol loved the idea and it did really got me thinking ;))
___________
No mothers to impress, (this always stresses me out, parents.)

No dinners I HAVE to attend with the in-laws

No complaining about my eating habits, or the fact that I don't work out.

No complaining about the movies and Tv shows I like. (Seriously, its so annoying when someone's says; oh I hate that show because its so not artsy, or that is so made up, that is so unrealistic, that's boaring.. blah blah, I'm watching it... ;))

I can throw my stuff around, and leave the dirty laundry where ever I please.

I can choose NOT to put the clean laundry in my closet (lol, yes I am as big of a slob as you might imagine ;) picking up after myself is not a skill I've mastered. )

No one complains or raise their eye-brows when I decide to spend money on DVDs and Cds or that new pair of SHOES I just HAD TO HAVE, instead of a food.

I can watch as many episodes of a TV show as I please in arow with out someone telling me that their board stiff with it. (Yes, I'm a TV show buff and have almost a 100 Tv show seasons on DVD, LOl and I love telling people about it and am quite proud of my 'accomplishment' :p)

No complaining about my friends/jealousy of friends.

No negotiations about where to go for the holiday season or how much money to spend on gifts. Or where and how to spend the weekend.

I can go out where ever, with whom ever, and when ever.

No one to tell me that; if you want to buy new clothes, you have to throw out some of the old clothes.

and yes, I think I manage to include both x's in this ;) Single life is good!

I really miss being able to sit around all day in pj's and watch the Law & Order marathons, my partner hates that show and I try so hard to make him like it, I mean what is not to like???

I really hate the weekends I feel like lounging around all day and the partner asking... "Aren't you going to do anything today?" Ugh.

I can drink a beer whenever I darn well feel like it... even on weeknights! No more, "Are you seriously drinking again?" comments...

Justy: had to spread rep... but my sympathies ;) I know that show is great.

Gosh I love just launching around, comfortably dressed, watching some lovely show all day ;) my fave pas time (almost a hobby )

KC: had to spread rep... oh yeah!

I can drink a beer whenever I darn well feel like it...even on weeknights! No more, "Are you seriously drinking again?" comments...


The first step is admitting you have a problem. :D

It's my problem, not hers! Selfish!

It's my problem, not hers! Selfish!

Got lost?

I did.

:cool:
Got lost?

I did.

Never mind...

The point is that I got a lot of heat sometimes for drinking (that's what I do, yes)... now, not so much..

Carry on... :cool:

Must be my time of the month ;)

Must be my time of the month ;)

We are on opposing schedules... that means two weeks out of the month for moods... rut row.

No more... I have the sniffles, and I think I'm dying! Can you wait on me hand and foot for a week mommy?

No more... You didn't tell me we had plans to go out today! I told you I was going golfing with my buddies!

No more... Can you come get me from the golfcourse? Well... the cart girl with the beer wouldn't leave us alone!

No more... Why did you turn the alarm clock off... I'm late for work! (when it had gone off 4 times and tried to wake him... golf hangover!)

Nore more... drinking the milk from the carton, or leaving it with not even enough to color coffee! (now I can drink from the carton... just cause I CAN!)

No more... I didn't hear my cell phone! (when it's attached to him like his best friend)

No more... Ohhh, that text was from my buddy's wife! It was a joke!

No more... I forgot to pick up the things you needed. I have to go check my lotto tickets online!

No more... I have no idea who that girl is!

... to be continued! :D

Star you are a meanie lol why are you attacking the guys for? Lol I guess we deserve it but still guys will be guys ^_^

You don't have to stroke the fragile male ego, and other things.

You can talk to your girlfriends for hours on the phone without getting dirty, exasperated looks.

You can eat garlic or onions without a second thought about breath mints. You can go to bed in flannel and plaid rather than Frederick's and Victoria.

No more arguments about things you can't explain.

The best reason for being single is: Vibrators don't talk back, you can turn them off and on, and they don't stop until they are through serving their purpose.

You don't have to wear a shirt with cleavage ALL of the time!

You don't have to hang around with their buddy's whiny girlfriend... and have to get to know a new one every week!

You don't have to be in charge of buying "the wrong" C'mas, B'day, etc. gifts for his mother, his sister, his kids, his..

You don't have to worry if he has fallen asleep on the picnic table and could freeze his balls off, or fall off and hit his head on the cooler in in a drunken stupor! Lol (oops... actually, that one is a plus!. lol)

No more pretending I like the in-law's.

No more, yeah, I think your family is great. Sure, they're normal. Love 'em...

You think you don't marry the family?? Wrong.

Yeah, for me one of the BEST things is no more redneck in-laws from hell. (You guessed it, the singing fish was a gift from THEM!)

You all are bitter! Ya, I said it! ;)

I have to say, I'm still in love with hubby, even after being together for 19 years. He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he holds me when I'm sad and gives me a kick in the arse when I need it. Also, he know who wears the pants in the family, and it's not him! ;)

I'm going to burn in hell now, aren't I?

What can I say, I'm a toughy, not many men can handle me, but, if you get past the tough exterior, then heck, I'm tons of fun! :)

I remember being a happy single person, but now I'm happy in a relationship.
I think your list is a reminder that people need to find happiness outside of a relationship.

Most of all, my list is a reminder that you need to take responsibility for your own happiness... it isn't the job of someone else to make you happy, and that's the most important part of learning to cope with a devastating break up (in my opinion... ).

Another Joy: Recently HBO released a new show, "Eastbound and Down." For those of you who think Family Guy is funny, you would LOVE this. Renewed my sense of faith in HBO after the Sopranos left. At any rate, I KNOW my ex would have thrown a hissy fit every time I tried to watch this new show. "Oh My God...I can't believe you like this stuff..." :cool:

No more hearing her...

1) SNORE!. LOL
2) Shake her head after I said something
3) Her saying whatever!
$) Can you buy me this or give me money or do this or do that. I didn't mine doing things for her but looking back she NEVER did anything for me?

Allowed me to find a girl that lets me walk around without my pants on!!

allowed me to find a girl that lets me walk around without my pants on!!!

Since when do guys wear pants in a relationship... :cool:

Good question indeed, I just go with the flow but keep my man card neatly tucked in my pocket if I need to pull it out ha ha

You guys wear clothes? Sad. :(

I have kids around, if I didn't wahoo for walking around naked!

I have kids around, if I didn't wahoo for walking around naked!

So walking around naked when you have kids is a bad thing? Crap!

I'm never going to get the mother of the year award. :(

I love the shower facts about men. It is soooooooo very true...

Wow... I love this thread. Totally stopped me from msging my ex.

Joy of being single:

; No need to worry who's going to msg/call you or she'll be giving you the "better act up" look.

; No need to check the phone many times when you're out or if you miss a call, it's a "WHO YOU WITH?"

; You can sleep whenever you want without feeling guilty or she'll be like "WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?"

; Don't need to hear her talk about her weight and body image.

; You can drool over models or any hot chick that walks past.

; You don't need to watch your steps or what you're saying. Definitely less worries.

; You can flirt without feeling like you've stabbed someone.

; No more hair strands left in the bathroom.

; No more "I must have my liquid soap to wash my body."

; You won't be compared to her exs by her group of friends.

; You don't need to wake up, feeling like it's another challenge.

; No need to balance your day out.

; No listening to her complaining about people.

; Don't need to keep count of alcohol I've drank. "You better stop. How many is that?"

; You can't talk about pornhub.com without her saying "OMG. Are you serious? *rolls eyes*".

; You can stay out late without "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WHAT DID YOU DO?".

No more having to constantly make sure that she is OK and that the relationship is okay. O and looking at a hot girl or meeting a really cool girl and feeling like you've settled for something less with your current girlfriend.

WOW peruvianblaze you should never be thinking about whether another girl is prettier then your girl! There is always someone prettier or nicer out there but if we thought that way we would always be skipping from girl to girl or man to man. You know what you have but you DON'T know what your going to get. It is all about how you feel on the:rolleyes: inside about the person. If your always thinking about whether you have settled for less then you should not be wasting any one's time.

There must have been something good about your ex or you wouldn't have been with her. As our relationships get to a stand still and we don't do anything to improve it we always look at all the negatives and forget about the positives.:o

Of course there is many things I could say about her.

She's there to iron my creased shirts.
And other things

There is always someone prettier or nicer out there but if we thought that way we would always be skipping from girl to girl or man to man.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

My opinion on this is-- No life without wife. So get marry as soon as possible. With your life partner you are leading a dull life.

You get to own your own wallet, and everything in it, not just carry it around, until she asks for it.

(those were the good old days)

No more telling my friends "I have to see what I'm doing" before committing to hanging out with them.

No more dinner with his family (good and bad - good because his mom is a sucky cooker and is all healthy bad because they were funny)

No more him farting in my car and rolling down the window.

If I want to go somewhere on a whim I can just jump in my car and go.

If I'm hungry and I want to go out to dinner, I can go out with anyone and don't have to feel weird about it.

I also no longer have to pay for his dinner since he was broke most of the time.

I can go out and drink coffee with out him complaining that I taste like coffee.

No more being upset at night because he forgot we made plans and then just never showed up but went to his friends house to hang out instead.

No more watching golf on TV!

I can go to the gym any time I want because I don't have to make plans with him.

I don't have to go over there when he is sick any more and take care of him - I don't have to get sick anymore!!

I don't have to worry that I'll be stuck in DE all my life in suburbia because he never wants to leave here and he hates cities.

No more buying him expensive presents - I can spend the money on me.

I can make vacation plans to places I want to go vs settling for some place that he can afford (sucks to make more $ than your BF).

I actually get stuff done on the weekends vs sleeping in and wasting the day away.

Guys now take me to see baseball games vs me taking him.

If I want to go to baltimore or philly or the beach at 1130PM I can - no more "you're gonna drive where now? its late"

I can now find a guy that actually likes to cuddle at night if I want to.

I can change my plans at the spur of the moment - no problem.

I get invited to be people's dates to wedding when they don't have a date already = FREE FOOD AND DRINKS!

I can go away on trips for work for 10 days with out feelig like I'm abandonning someone.

I can meet hot guys on my trips for work with out feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

And never having to speak to his mother again.bliss :-)

Last time by mistake I write that with your life partner you are leading a dull life. Actually I wanted to write that without your life partner you are leading a dull life. Your life partner brings so many joys with him/her.

Best for your career development, I can go wherever the professional development opportunities are! :)

Since lots of people haven't been feeling so great after a break-up, I think this thread merits to be bumped again.

Thanks again Kc, for creating such a thread.

Good call! There is light at the end of the tunnel people... its called the care-free life... I know that may sounds harsh but usually people fresh out of relationships pick up on the scent of a care-free life first...

Thanks IWish, for bumping this thread to the attention of others.

I just want to say thanks to you all for supporting me throughout my original ordeal (break up) when I first came here and thanks for putting up with me. AMHD is a site filled with thoughtful and delightful people that truly care and I consider it a privilege to have been able to chat with a lot of you.

As all things come to an end, I fear it is that time for me on AMHD. I wish all of you the best and I will try to make it back on occasion. Once again, thanks to every single person on here. You are all special in your own way. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to hang out here for the last year or so.

I wish you all a happy holidays and hope that the broken hearted can find peace in knowing it does get better and there are tons of people willing to offer a willing hand or helpful ear in hopes of making your day a bit brighter.

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood Tiger!

Have a good life Tiger!
And Happy Holidays!

You have been a great help to many, even those who don't need it.

Sad to see you go KC , your words of wisdom will be missed.

It's almost like losing one of your favourite co-workers.

Exactly. Even if you did pee in his coffee once in a while, doesn't mean you didn't adore him. ;)
