Happy being single

[Yo'Mama]

Last night I hung out with a married friend. This guy complains about his wife constantly. He's generally not a moaner so I believe that he has a lot to complain about.

He has a son with this woman. She complains constantly about the boy, nags him incessantly, doesn't allow him any freedom, doesn't work herself but makes him cook for her when he gets home at 10pm after work, insists on expensive accessories and just generally makes his life a misery.

Yet last night this same guy kept telling me he wanted me to choose between one of the plates I have on the go and settle down because he 'just wants me to be happy'. I kept my mouth shut but all the time was thinking, 'Are you serious man?'. I don't answer to anybody, can screw who I like when I like, don't have to share my money so can afford a great lifestyle and can be totally selfish without any kind of repurcussions. Loneliness? What loneliness. I spend most of my weekdays at work surrounded by people and when I finish I'm really happy to come home to a quiet flat and just chill out watching DVDs and reading.

Then at the weekends I'll see one of my plates or hit a bar/club and find some new plates, see friends, etc.

I'm not saying by any means all married people are miserable but it really takes the cake when those that obviously are miserable try to get you to put yourselves in the same situation they now find themselves in. Are they totally deluded or what?!

Misery loves company. What he really meant was, "I want you to be married so that you understand what a nightmare this is and then I can feel better about complaining to you about it."

If you were married, it'd help validate his own poor choice.

Keep trying to convince yourself dude.

Keep trying to convince myself of what? That I'm happy being single? Lol, it's not too hard.

I could be married in 5 minutes if I wanted to be. Have had countless opportunities.

I'm not saying I'll never have an LTR or get married but I'll be damned if it's going to resemble anything like that guy's marriage.

What a stupid comment Corrector.

Sounds like you have a noose around your neck, corrector.

What a great deal marriage is for men. Let's see: give up your freedom, stay with the same woman way longer than the 2 years it takes for the attraction to wear off, agree to pay her for the rest of your life if she decides to cheat on you, and become tied to a house and children that prevent you from moving to a new city to take a better job someday.

Marriage is the worst deal on Earth for men. If I'm wrong, tell me what we're missing being free men. You think the single men here couldn't have married the wrong girl too?

Yeah - making a thread on a site like this is like preaching to the choir. It means you are not convinced yourself.

They are having 5 minute weddings these days? So you missed on the specials for 5 min weddings?

I'm not saying I'll never have an LTR or get married but I'll be damned if it's going to resemble anything like that guy's marriage.

You never know -- women change during marriage, you may get what you wish for.

What freedom? You are allowed to think about anything when you are married, just as long as it is not about other women.

stay with the same woman way longer than the 2 years it takes for the attraction to wear off,

With you it's probably 2 weeks.

agree to pay her for the rest of your life if she decides to cheat on you,

You forgot false charges for domestic abuse and jail time as well as custody of your children and having a criminal record which will screw you for most jobs for the rest of your life.

and become tied to a house and children that prevent you from moving to a new city to take a better job someday.

You can always use scizzors.

You are missing contrast. You will never appreciate freedom unless you've become a slave to a woman and experience it first hand. So you see, you should get married.

Now you must be afraid of dying one day since you are enjoying life. With marriage it is death till you part. How else can one acquire a love of death other than to get married and thus part with their miserable wife?

But, if you have a problem with North America, then move to Saudi Arabia where the women is the slave and must ask the man for permission to open a bank account and to wipe her herself after using the toilet.

You think the single men here couldn't have married the wrong girl too?

Well, they are always dealing with the wrong girl, which is why they are not married? What about the right girl?
