While those answer may be true, think of it this way. I guess some positives are, not having to care for other people, your money is ALL yours, you don't have to share anything...you can do what you want, when you want. Now think of down the road when you're older. You have no family left, no kids, no companion, and nobody to take care of you. Will you honestly be happy knowing that you had fun when you were younger, and alone and old the rest of your life because EVERY MARRIED MAN you've ever met tells you its not worth it? (I beg to differ, I know some people aren't always happy, but know a heck of a lot more people that are happy married then not) Its your choice, but I think that once you meet the person you're suppose to be with, there will be no doubt in your mind whether you want to stay single or not.

Married Life Vs Single Life

Wow, that's too bad. I know a lot of men who are married and love it. It's unfortunate (and highly surprising) that you haven't met even one single man who is happily married.
There are so many pros and cons to being single vs married or in a committed relationship. I'm in my late 20s and currently involved with the man I plan on marrying. I was in a 4-year relationship until I was 22 and between 22 and 26 (no serious relationships during that period) I did the most amazing things that so many people have never done. Most of my married friends are jealous!
I've got a degree and have had two very different yet equally successful careers. I got a job in Eastern Europe and was able to spend quite a while working, studying and travelling overseas. I've extensively developed passions like djembe drumming, WWII and Jewish history, volunteerism and activism, etc.
Sometimes I feel a bit of nostalgia for those old times. I don't have time to do the same things now that I used to do. I would never have turned into the person I am today without those years of singledom.
But that said, I also would not be who (or where) I am today had I not met my boyfriend. We've taught each other things and experienced things that would never have come up in our very different lives. He's helped me find roots (I have never in my life lived in one place for more than a few years) and feel connected to something.
Do I ever miss being single? Sure! But when I was single, there were days when I missed having that one special person in my life. I wouldn't give him up for the single life again. (Luckily, my bf is really supportive of my travelling and I will hopefully be working in Africa for a few months next summer. We are probably one of the few couples that is okay the other one doing long-term travelling solo.)

Personally I feel married life is better. You have somoene to come home to, to share your day with. To comfort you when you've had a crappy day. You don't have to impress your spouse by looking perfect and acting perfect. You don't have to spend a lot of money on dates. You don't have to worry if so and so is going to call or what so and so thinks or wether your going to sleep with so and so.
You get to a point in marriage, if you married the right person, where it is comfortable. Like your favorite pair of shoes that you could wear everyday for the rest of your life.
I hope that my husband considers himself happily married. He still spoils me rotten and we've been married 8 years. We are best friends and still have a great time together.
It may be that you need to find the right person. I'm glad that I married my best friend!
PS I do not miss being single at all, I partied hard and now I'm done!

Single life is better up to the point you fall in love. Then being single really sucks and you want to be with that person. If you marry someone you don't love, then marriage sucks.
I would say don't get married until you are in your 30s, just date and don't get serious before that. You will have a good balance of the single and married life that way and enjoy both.

Best = Married to the right person.
Second Best = Single
Worst = Married to the wrong person.

You're right. Not a care in the world. Single people don't realize how good they have it till they get married.

In my opinion... the single life.
You don't have to worry about anything about anyone else, and you can avoid those issues in your relationship.
"Are you cheating on me!?"
"I've heard you've been saying bad things about me..."
"GTFO! I'm filing for divorce!"
...and stuff like that. o_o
