What are the advantages of being single?

Answer 1

I love being an only child. Here's why....

-You can live a comfortable life. Parents spoiled me rotten, sometimes I'd get even more toys/clothes/etc. than some of my friends with siblings. We always lived comfortably more or less.

-Yes, there is more attention solely on you, but I benefited from it! I couldn't get away with things that easily, and it taught me to be good, and try my best. I had to be able to make decisions quickly, and to do my work efficiently.

-I have a close relationship with my family, and that's always really important. I find that I'm better at making friends because I understand people better. I also find that I became more mature because I was always around adults.

-They say it can get lonely. Ok, it did sometimes. But everyone gets lonely once in a while, right? I became independent and learned to live on my own. I can't always be asking big brother or sis for help, right? And when I was younger, yeah it was a bit more difficult to play 'pretend' by yourself. But it enriched my imagintion, no older siblings to tell me my games were stupid or un-realistic. I read a lot too. Reading's always good.

Well there you have it! Insight from an only child. Hope it helped! =)

Answer 2

Being single can be tough, especially if everyone else seems to be pairing off.

When your best buddy spends all their time with a new hottie, you can feel left out. But friendship lasts longer than a fling, and your friend will soon come crawling back.

It's also hard adjusting to single life when you come out of a relationship. Some people are so bothered about it they'll immediately get involved with someone else just to avoid being single.

But if you start seeing someone for the wrong reasons, chances are you'll be on the shelf again before you can say Peter Andre...

Everyone will be single at some point - maybe for months or even years on end. It's often just about being patient. There's nothing wrong with waiting for the right person.

It can be frustrating. But it's quite natural: why do you think they invented, ahem, self-servicing?

There are loads of benefits to being single.

You can do what you want with who you want - whether it's snogging randoms on holiday or flirting with a fittie on Facebook.

You get more time with your friends, you can go on the pull and you don't need to worry about your other half all the time. The world is your oyster.

In the long-run you'll probably spend most of your life in a relationship - so enjoy being single while you can!

Answer 3

I am an only child, and there are a lot of advantages. For example:

-Constant attention from your parents

- (This might not be true for all only children) More money in the household/more 'stuff' in general

- More options when it comes to choosing a school (I chose to start going to private school in 6th grade)

-Having 'me time' whenever you want

-No sibling rivalry/having to compete for anything

-In general, only children are usually more mature and more intelligent than children with siblings. We have nore of a chance to interact with adults at a young age
