Some guys look at being single as being a negative, as if they have to be in a committed relationship to really be a ‘success’ in life. I like to look at it a bit differently. It can be the time of your life if you know how to manage it. I can name off a dozen or more guys that I know that did the relationship thing as soon as they could and are now miserable. It’s funny to look back on how proud they were to say that they had a woman in their life and now, they are just miserable guys with no life at all.

That’s not to say that all committed relationships end up that way or that you should avoid them altogether. It’s just one of those reminders of how it can be a GOOD thing to be single. That is of course, if you are enjoying it. If you are loathing it and your routine consists of you going to work, coming home and then flicking on the television or hopping online just to distract yourself until it is time to go to sleep, then being single can be a terrible experience.
