    I look a round at friends, people I know who got hitched too young and they don't say it, but you can tell.

    There are "regrets" there.


    That's why it's great to be single. Plenty of time for most of us for marriage and kids and all that craic but I just want to enjoy life till, say, 30. What's wrong with that? It's great.

    Nobody telling you what to do, no little brats to look after, not whipped by your (female) partner, you can sleep with who you want, play games, get drunk, do whatever.

    Bliss.:cool:

    I'm past 30 and still want to be single. Still am. It's brilliant but now you have people looking down on you when are you getting married, when are having kids. Bla bla bla. Like its the done thing.

    Let me live my life please. Thank you

    I know someone who was after popping out their third kid. They had the cheek to ask me if I would ever have them. Like kids are the bees knees. They are for some. They're ****ty as babies and brats as kids. And I'm in no position to have kids. I like my free time.

    This is it in your 30s.

    In short, it's either being single is great and being married with kids sucks donkey balls or being married with kids is great, you should all do it, and being single is pathetic.

    Let's all split into teams and have a game of Red Rover/Bulldog to see who's right.

    Breaking News! Being single does not mean no sex. ;)


    Being married could very well mean no sex depending on her mood.


    I tend to be classy about things so get the ride and move on.

    Sure. You get the ride loads.

    Who is pressurising men to get married before 30 anyway? the average age of first marriage way higher than that.

    Seems an overreaction if all they did was ask if you'd ever have children.

    I'm sure one day you'll meet your Miss Piggy, Kermit, one that'll slap some sense into you. And ye'll start popping out Little Ones in your 40s, which'll mean you're dealing with teenagers in your 60s. Enjoy the moment, and remember this thread when you can't retire because Lisa needs braces.







    Or else you'll die alone..... Cold, cold and alone with no-one to mourn over your grave.

    Alooooooone!!!

    Another great thing about being single is that your water bill is a lot smaller.

    Stay single OP, definitely.

    There are advantages to both being single and being in a relationship. These advantages can get boring after a while in both cases.

    Is it though?

    Singletons have to wash bedsheets far more regularly, what with having all of the sex.

    Not an issue for the marrieds.

    You seen the state of my place. We go to hers. And I rob anything useful out of the fridge after breakfast. Serves her right for making me cook a fry in my hungover condition.

    Try a relationship would be my advice, after the honeymoon period is over and you have your first argument over absolutely nothing, the urge to be single will start to make perfect sense.

    I was going to go down the route of the washing of socks encrusted in c*m but I thought better of it because I'm a classy kinda guy.

    Another point for singletons.

    Flush HIS/HER toilet. Your water bill stays down. Win!
