Hate having your relationship status as "Single"? - Well cheer up guys, being single has its own advantages

1) No time for Friends

They say being in love is a full-time job. If your girlfriend happens to be an overly attached one, then that would mean minimal (read none at all) interaction with your female friends and less time with your male friends unless you want to argue about your priorities and search for reasons to justify that you don’t love them more than you love her. Sounds tough right? For if she acted like that it would be a natural choice to drift away. But that comes at a cost of incessant arguments and backbiting. In the worst case scenarios having a girlfriend could end up choosing between mental peace and love (if you can call it that).

2) Bills

It is shameful to ask a girl to pay and it’s expensively chivalrous to pay for her. You can’t expect a girl to call you or to pay for you that sounds odd right? But in practicality this oddity could be the right thing to do if you don’t want to end up in a bankrupt situation. Girls often put up a huge show of the gifts that their significant other buys them. Inevitably it has to be expensive.

And how can you allow your princess to eat at home while she thinks (and you are made to believe) that she deserves a nice romantic dinner in an expensive restaurant. Rephrasing Peter Parker’s uncle, “with a beautiful girl comes huge responsibilities and a jaw dropping credit-card statement follows.”

3) Can’t watch manly things (no perversion intended)

When you have a girlfriend and her mood for a romantic film or her favorite tele serial clashes with your cricket, football or rugby matches. Then it’s better to forget about your needs for once and for all. You can’t win them over on this one.

You will see your action, horror and thriller film tickets being replaced by pre-booked ones for mushy, romantic and emotional drama flicks. You can’t dare to say no because such films apparently helps to keep the spark in your relationship and you could learn something from them.

3) Arguments

It is comparably easier to win a Nobel, Booker, Pulitzer or Oscar then winning an argument with a woman. Soon those sweet talks are replaced by trivial incessant nagging arguments about where you left your damp towel and how the toothpaste tube is aptly capped. Then you wake up to a rude shock and voice the same question, “Why did I not remain single?” Sacrificing your happiness for something so momentary!? Your discretion is seriously advised.

5) PMS

How could one not resist oneself from citing this definition of PMS. It couldn’t have been more accurate, “A powerful spell that women are put under about once every month, which gives them the strength of an ox, the stability of a Window’s OS, and the scream of a banshee. Basically, man’s worst nightmare”

True to each word PMS is something that can be used to justify their tantrums every five days a month. You better run for your life and look for a safe hideout, because during these days you will face the constant threat of extinction. On a sincere note though your girlfriend can get away with the worst of her through this excuse and you wouldn’t be able to argue your stance because, “It will be so inhumane and misogynistic of you”. So save yourself from estrogens running high on every moon’s turn and enjoy the singledom as long as it naturally lasts.
