Single vs Relationship

Mescalito · 01-25-2012, 02:42 AM

Bring it on!

Most of y'all must have had both.. which will come out on top!?

Most the times it seems the grass is always greener.. what ever perspective you coming from..

That's a tough one.

Id like to say single all the way ftw because relationships are hard work,but im not normally a fan or casual sex with random strangers so its relationship for me

maszac · 01-25-2012, 08:15 AM

As a 21 year old male, id say single. I mean some companionship would be nice but all my friends who have significant others can be a drag. Easpecially the type who have been thru some shit and arnt secure with each other so they are always together and always home. Its a drag. Or the dumb fuck who keeps banging his awful ex and saying shes the one, shes just gotta grow up a bit. I mean holy fuck. People my age seem to be really bickering annoying couples and i dont want that bullshit at all. Or to live with a gf. Fuhck that.

It makes me think of my sisters wedding- i dont have a date, but all the bridesmaid are fat.

I think single while I'm young still. After I stop having fun and become something akin to responsible, I might think about a permanent relationship status.

The Don · 01-25-2012, 08:20 AM

In a relationship.

I've always felt more fulfilled and complete with someone else at my side.

The times I've been single I've enjoyed it for the first half year or so, then I just start dread ing it.

I'm not big on mac'in girls, so it was never like a huge fuck-drink-smoke fest for me.

As a married man, I look out at the world with all those fuckable young hotties and think "single!". Then, I look in the mirror, come back to reality, and think "relationship"

I am only inclined to lean towards single because I know for a fact that I enjoy my own company. That being said, I've never been in a relationship with someone who enjoyed their own company as well.

Single

I think that depends very heavily on what kind of relationship we're talking about. Someone who doesn't treat you well and stifles who you are, well fuck that I'd rather be single any day. But if we're talking about someone who makes your life more positive and fulfilling, I'd much rather have that than be alone.

Essentially I prefer my current relationship over being single, but I'd prefer being single over any of the relationships I've had in the past.

Captain Cannabis · 01-25-2012, 09:31 AM

i would say single is better than being in a relationship with someone who isn't compatible. i enjoy quiet time to myself (recently had a week where my girlfriend was on vacation), but i can't imagine anything better than sharing a home with someone i love.

i find the most depressing part of living alone to be cooking meals for one.

The Rev · 01-25-2012, 09:34 AM

Better to be lonely alone, than to be lonely with another.

my_scatterheart · 01-25-2012, 11:12 AM

doesn't matter much. I'm in a good spot right now. luff on the regular and movie/dinner nights are super fun though. oohooh an cuddles. I'ma say 'ships.

deadhead94 · 01-25-2012, 11:21 AM

I get the benefits of both right now, so I'll go with that.

The Don · 01-25-2012, 11:24 AM

How do you go about that headdead?

Because de jure, we aren't together, but de facto, we are.

Essentially.

Because everyone else would sternly disapprove, we can do whatever to keep up appearances. Plus,we still have to work on shit. And we live in different cities.

There are 3 people that know and 2 of them are us.

Erh. By de jure, do you mean you don't have paper on it? As in, legally you aren't together? Or is it just a fancy way of saying she's a FWB?

I know what de jure and de facto means, but what is what here?

deadhead94 · 01-25-2012, 12:12 PM

We aren't technically together but we might as well be. It is an incredibly complex situation right now that I couldn't reasonably explain without writing an essay.

The Don · 01-25-2012, 12:17 PM

Ah no need, I don't care all that much, just a tad curious.

But thanks for clarifying.
