I've only been married 5 years, it feels longer, so I've forgotten what dating is like, but from the threads I read here it has to be awful out there. Seems like I read something here everyday about someone being played, indecisive dates, or dates who are psycho. Being married can be tough, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
How tough of a time are you single people having out there?
I'm happy being single, it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm of the belief that no one wants to get into relationships with people they don't believe they can get through the good and bad times with.
Some people LIKE being single. As a woman, I can see the appeal if you have a nice job and your own place and friends....too many women lose these things when they get married!
You get submerged into being 'Mrs. Someone' and often have to defer to your husband--your career comes second, you are in charge of the childcare....you lose that single gal carelessness...
My Sister in Law is over 40 and happily single. She has her own small home, a nice car, a job, and is free to come and go as she pleases.

It's the same for us men. Single men don't have to answer to any woman. If we want to flirt with random chicks, we can do so because we know our woman won't object to it. Try that when you're with your s/o and she won't play that.
One thing that sticks in my head from being married. She was sick, and I wanted to go out for a few hours. I came home two hours later to find myself locked out of the house. Apparently, I was supposed to stay home and be miserable WITH her.
I mean, we're supposed to be able to pursue our own interests without our wife or S.O., but when we do so, she gets upset about it.
well you are right it gets a lil lonely however -----
i am not a servant in my own home.
the dishes i wash are few and mine
