I’ll never get why singledom and not dating anyone has such a terrible reputation. I’ve always felt most at ease when I’m by myself and pursuing my own interests. Nothing to cling to, no drama, no commitments to sacrifice, just the sheer joy of sleeping alone. Not to mention how fulfilling it is to be able to live my own life and be my own person. Let’s face it, I thrive when I’m alone, so there were parts of me that missed being single even after I got married. Furthermore, what do you know? If one approaches being single with the correct mindset, anyone can thrive in this state.
Being single is more common than ever these days. The percentage of single adults in the United States was 50.2 percent in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a record high. According to a Gallup poll in that same year, 64% of those between the ages of 18 and 29 were unmarried. Therefore, even though society may encourage being in a relationship, a lot of people actually enjoy being alone.
Yes, it’s amazing, seductive, and enjoyable to be in love, but it’s also okay to be single. This is why it’s so sexy to be single. First, though, listen to the most recent I Want It That Way podcast from Bustle’s Sex and Relationships section.
