Not all men are inclined to having steady girlfriends one after the other. Some men prefer to be single, because let’s admit it, as cliche as it sounds, there are tons of advantages to it. Your desperation to meet women while being single may cloud your thoughts, but if you really think about it, you should appreciate the benefits one by one.
Advantages of being a bachelor
1.Full speed ahead on your business or profession
Without a girlfriend, your career can be your first priority and you will have more time to improve upon it. There are no dinner dates to think of when you may have to stay late at the office. There are no weekends to reserve so you can gladly use them to take classes, attend seminars, or finish way before the deadline to impress the higher ups.
The point is, if you want to climb to the top of the corporate ladder, having fewer distractions (no offense to girls), will be better.
2.YOU control your life
Well, you actually still control your life even if you have a girlfriend, but you know what I mean. Having a significant other means you need to check with her first before making decisions, especially big ones. That is very crucial because not being able to make unilateral decisions can spark up an argument with your girlfriend that can be the death of you for the next week or longer. Being single means having no obligation to ask for permission: go wherever you like, whenever you want and for how long you wish to be there.
3.You get to play field more
This may sound a little harsh, but the reality is, the reason why most men want to stay single is because they can satisfy the varying ”taste” they have when it comes to girls. Having a girlfriend and then going out and hitting on another girl is downright bad (unless the relationship is open). If you are single and the pretty bridesmaid in the wedding you are attending seems to be lonely - well, there are no qualms — go ahead, ask for a dance, her number and a date- no one will frown upon it -you are free to do whatever you like.
4.Your wallet won’t have to be ALWAYS drained
Girlfriends require quality time, and while quality time can be found in front of thetime with the two of you cuddling and all, there will come a time when you need to buy her things. You will need to surprise her on Valentine's day, perhaps take her to dinner regularly, go see movies at the theater and buy things for her on birthdays and holidays. So to put it quite bluntly, having a girlfriend is sometimes expensive. Without her, you can save up for that dream car, spend more money on yourself, save for a house, take vacations with your friends or family, or buy that new flat screen television you have had your eye on.
5.Knowing yourself
The single life gives you one advantage that is often not discussed- it's being able to know more about yourself, which when pondered on, will help you immensely should the time come you want to be in a committed relationship. This means you will be more effective in the relationship because you will have no doubt in your goals, outlook, and experience. You will already have had a taste of everying from adventurous thrills to painful rejections without being held back by a relationship.
