    For me, I much prefer having an awesome partner by my side, meaningless sex did it for me in the past....I'm 23 now and I have been there and have experimented alot (sexually) now I much prefer to have someone there who totally gets me and wants to do the whole kid thing and travel and experiment together sexually when the time calls for itwho says that just bcoz u have a partner does not mean you have to stop partying and having fun I still enjoy myself when I do have a bf so really it just depends what type of person you are..

    Its spelled C-O-N-S-I-S-T-E-N-T. I say, if it feels good, do it.

    It is just a matter of personal preference really. If you are the type of person who doesn't mind living alone, then I supppose it is better to stay single. If you like the company of others and like having someone to talk to, then marriage is the way to go. Think of the future, you can't have fun forever and you don't want to end up a sad and lonely old man.

    MissOpenminded has a really good point, being single is indeed awesome but being with the right person who makes you feel as good and happy and free to be yourself probably wouldn't completely suck.Not that i'm willing to take that risk just yet, personally. LOL

    I think there are very much pluses and minuses to both as you said. you can do what you want when you want, without consulting anyone or considering anyone and your time is your own your money is your own and this allows you many opportunities every decision is yours to make without considering or consulting others you can shag anyone you want, when you want and how you want (as long as it's legal) If you're with the right person you are never lonely, you go through lifes good times and bad with someone by your side, someone to laugh with you, cry with you, comfort you, encourage you, offer advice when you don't know what to do. Kids are the purest love you will ever know and the only love that you can't lose and will not betray you (not that you can't have kids being single of course, they are just part of the whole "family" deal so to speak You can't make love, REALLY, REALLY make love unless you are in love. A fuck is great, don't get me wrong but a shallow fuck is nothing of any REAL value lets face it. It's a temporary thing only to send you running around chasing more temporary, unimportant things until you're too old and fugly to get anyone anymore and ooops! You're alone. there's nothing quite like rolling over and snuggling up to a warm body - on tap - and being cuddled back Your money and your life and your choices always have something to do with someone else for the rest of your days. If you are with the wrong person it can be a prison worse than hell. I'm sure the list of pro's and con's are endless. Just depends what you want, what you really, truely want. xxgoodgrl

    Partners have someone they can rely on, they know that at the end of the day there is someone always watching thier back, there to discuss all of lifes little trials and tribulations. Someone to share the burdens and troubles as well. Having a partner means never having to wonder when you will get sex next. It is there in the middle of the night when you wake up horny. (or should be) It means there is someone who means the world to you, someone who knows you even better than you know yourself, someone who cares if you are upset and hurt. Having a partner is awesome. It means that two people can become one with double the strengths, double the joy (or should). They are there when you need a hand or when you want to be quiet. Your happiness is also doubled, your pain can be halved and someone is always there to celebrate. The sex gets better with the knowledge of another's body and its desires. A partner to share all the highs and make them higher and all the lows and make them not so low. l l Being single can be awesome. It is wonderful that if I go to a mates place, end up having too much to drink, I dont have to tell someone else I wont be home. It means never having to consult another about what I want to do or where I want to go. I dont need to ask someone else what they would like to have for dinner. The toilet seat is never left up and any toilet smells are mine. Any snoring is done by me and if I wake myself up? That is cool too. There is not so much washing and ironing. l Not having kids means...... I can spend the rest of my life spending all my income on myself. It means that when I am really really old and crotchety, I am gonna have to pay someone to look after me and aged care facilities beiing what they are....I may also get ignored. It means that I miss out on all the joy of sticky half chewed food shoved in my face, mother's day cards and gifts made at school, all the wonderful highs that one can only get from a child and then the greater joy from becoming a grandparent. When the saying comes up... "There is no greater love than a parent for her/his child" trust me it is true. There are times being a parent that your heart swells so much from love it feels as if it is about to burst from your chest l l I have known both long term partners and the single life and I think given the chance I will take the long term partnership. l Why buy a book when you can join the library? Because sometimes the library is closed. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? sometimes the cow goes dry.

    I am single and free and I really like my life - I travel heaps and go out and have fun, but there comes a time when you realise that pretty much all your friends are married and settled down with kids while you are still trying to party... except there aint too many people to party with any more.... or something like that. You go to events, BBQs and parties and you are often the only single person there. You probably can't imagine that now but if you stay single that is the reality... it isn't bad but just the way it is.I think the best of both worlds is to have someone who does get you and is open enough to party with you or allows you the freedom you need in your relationship.I can't imagine having to answer to anyone or having to compromise on the things that I want... but I don't want to die alone either. So there is good and bad for both sides. xxMeeka

    Life is like a corridor you go down. You can walk down it, scream down it, cry, laugh, crawl or run down it. Hell you can even go single down it! But go down it you will. . I will put money down that you will most likely end up married with two children and live in some suburban house with too many pets and a mortgage.. . If your committed to your ideal you outlined, don't go falling in love as the commitment will alter significantly and I will keep my money.

    The disadvantages of being a single far out weighs being a couple. Society even proves that, society applauds and hails couples than singles.

    Enjoy being single and having meaningless sex and having your life all to yourself but don't commit to it. One day you may meet your soulmate and want to spend every waking moment with her. It would be a shame to let something wonderful like that slip away because you decided to commit to being single. Enjoy singledom but stay open.
