unlimited fwb/f-buddies-whatever you want to call them. no commitment, no drama, travel anywhere in world on a whim, buy whatever you want, no checking in/roll call, life is beautiful!!'
lets face it y'all, can't have that with an SO.
now, if you get laid then it's a pretty sad single life, but then again, all the other things make up for it.

That's all great if that is what you want. Not everyone wants those things. Some people want one committed partner, want to know someone cares about their whereabouts. Not everyone can buy whatever they want or travel anywhere in the world on a whim, single or not.

Bear in mind that all of those things are not universal priorities, and several of them are easily attainable within the confines of a relationship, as well.
Whether or not a relationship is preferable to singlehood for a given individual, or vice versa, is WHOLLY specific to the individual. It's kind of laughable that anybody would think that this topic would ever be anything other than a case of "different strokes for different folks."
Seriously, the freedom to have FWB situations is NOT going to matter to somebody who has no interest in maintaining FWB situations. I know this is a real shocker.
That didn't sound sarcastic at all. Anyway, I've moved 4 times, to different states in the last 4 years. In many situations I moved in less than a month. I've made at least one full bicoastal move as well. I have got to work with world class people in my field, I have completely tripled my salary within that time. But the thing about being single makes me, is that it makes me competitive. The average American resource just simply isn't that mobile. That's what keeps me in the game. Being in a relationship would completely mess that up for me.
Barking up the wrong tree if you want to make those kind of excuses dude....
May 2012 - moved 5 hours away
September 2012 - Moved 5 hours away
March 2013 - Moved 4 hours away
July 2013 - Moved 8 hours away..
That's in LESS than 2 years. Sure it's not coast to coast, but still it's far more often, at least you actually got to settle in one place for a bit.
Also, I have nearly tripled my salary in the last 3 years as well. My gf comes with me on the moves as well.
Me being in a relationship has zero to do with my work. In fact, it makes me far MORE efficient. I don't have to wake up as early or go to bed as early. I get to spend my free time doing things I enjoy because I'm not doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. etc. Instead of being single and going out then being hungover for work as I did for years and years and years, I don't mind staying in and watching movies during the week.
I'm 25 years old. I've been with my gf around a year and a half. I was single for the 3-4 years prior to being with her. I had a couple gf's for short terms. All I did was workout, party, and get laid. It's great for a while but it certainly gets old...
Personally I can only see ONE downside for me being in a relationship. Being with one person. I am incredibly promiscuous and enjoy the chase of different women. Unfortunately, I know it's something I can't have both of, nor would I want a gf that would be ok with me sleeping around as well. It's hard but it's just a choice I have to make.
I want to have kids some day and a normal family, so it's just a choice I have to make. Is my gf "the one?" I don't know, no way I would get married in the next several years anyways and she knows that. But I know one thing for certain, I can't keep putting my thing in everything that moves for the rest of my life.
