The curious case of being single and awesome.

Relationships are great, don’t get me wrong—the loving, the bonding, the sexing—but there are so many amazing perks that come with being single too. So many, in fact, it’s difficult to ignore the awesomeness of flying solo:

1. You can get your flirt on guilt-free.

2. The entire bed. All to yourself.

3. You don’t have to waste time on his douchey friends.

4. You also don’t have to do the whole insta-BFF thing which his douchey friends’ douchey girlfriends.

5. You can skip shaving for months and nobody will ever know.

6. Your at-home rituals can be as gross and unattractive as you want.

7. You’re not financially tied to someone.

8. Vibrators don’t expect you to return the favor.

9. When you clean your place, it actually stays that way.

10. There’s no such thing as a predictable night out.
