Being Single

Being single is the best. I was watching a morning show one day last week and one of the topics was being single over 35, in particular women. I couldn't figure out why in this day of the independent woman is this still a conversation. One of the biggest gripes single women over 35 receive is if their single at this age something is wrong with them. In addition to addressing other issues, on the other side of the coin, I am a male and I love being single. I am 28 years old. I only lived quarter of a century, why would I want to tie myself down to someone for the next 60+ years. That is ridiculous. I feel too many people are getting hitched at an early age in part because they fear of being by themselves after a certain age. This reason is, in my opinion, one of the chief reasons the divorce rate is almost 50%. In no way am I opposed to marriage, however, I feel the majority of people should wait.
The dating game has its advantages. For one it is fun. Number two, you get to interact with different types of people on a more personal level. This will serve great purpose when deciding what kind of person your willing to spend the rest of your life with. In our twenties we really don't know who we are. The majority of people don't love themselves. We must achieve both for a marriage to sustain longevity.
It seems people are afraid of aging. I am looking forward to my thirties and forties where I don't have to answer to anyone. I may come and go as I please. I don't understand what people are afraid of. There will always be single people for every age bracket. Relationships are not easy. Some people would argue that the journey one takes through life with someone is a benefit of marriage. That's great, however, the majority of people need to better equipped for marriage.
My advice for people is to continue to date. Enjoy the ups and downs that come with being in short-term and long-term relationships. Life is an experience. Their is nothing sexier than a person who is confident, for the right reasons, and intelligent.
