Just a few hours ago, I finished my papers at last. Now, I'll have time to bring up the advantages of being single for all of you tonight. Let's pick up what we left last night.

First of all:

As a single man, you no longer rely on someone else. The only person you're accountable to is yourself. You don't have to remember her birthday, holidays, or even your anniversaries. It doesn't really matter if you leave the toilet seat down or the bedroom is meesy because no one around will complain about it, lol~~ (ps. my room is always neat and clean. ^^)

You don't have to go shopping for shoes or bags with her when you'd rather be watching the soprts game with your buddies at home. It's not your responsibility to take her out to the TOP French restuarant in L.A. for Valentine's Day. You don't have to spend $$$$$$$$$$ on others besides youself.

I know all of these might soud really selfish. But hey! The key point of being single is that YOU CAN BE TOTALLY SELFISH AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT!

Dating becomes possible. Remember the "free pass" that I talked about in the 1st part? The single life offers you chances to experience "the first time", every time again.

Now, imagining you go on a blind date every week: butterflies and goosebumps are still in effect, you hear the beat of your own heart, your hands are sweaty, your knees are weak, and the most important--the tingling feeling after a first kiss, the ambiguity of passing glances. Everything is still new and exciting.

You said to yourself, "What a wonderful world!"

I’ve been working on this research for three months, and finally everything comes to an end---a report of “obesity and oral contraceptive failure”. According to a retrospective cohort study, the association between obesity and oral contraceptive failure is unclear. (I’m not trying to teach you anything about epidemiology here.) Writing this report has occupied most of my time over the weekend which I consider as an unavoidable experience relates to my major.

On the other hand, while I was writing the paper, all I have in mind are words such as woman, pregnant, birth control, blah, blah, blah….I’ve to admit that it doesn’t sound exciting at all and what happened next may seem quite random. Yet, if you thought about it, as a guy, it somehow is relevant. I found this article online and its interesting question caught my attention.

“What’s so great about being single?”

I think I had had asked myself that question when I was in a relationship. It has been a year since I was tied down with someone. Unfortunately, almost every guy friend I know is in his singleness. Sure, there were things that were great about being in a relationship. Say, you always have someone to be with on the weekends. You could feel sorry for all those people who envied you because you have such an attractive girlfriend. You feel like you are more desirable because you are “a forbidden fruit”.

Yet, being single will give you an entirely new perspective with one word sum it all up—FREEDOM.

Yes, guys, you’re right about what you’ve got in mind right now! It’s a free pass for you to do whatever the hell you want whenever the hell you want. The exception goes for those who are in an open relationship or happen to have really cool girlfriends.

For the rest of you, there is another cliché: you’re stuck with the ball and chain.

To be continued……… (I’m so tried, I’ll be back tomorrow.)
