right benefits of relationships:
1. shopping done
2. regular sex
3. women in general want to clean up so if you are sneaky she'll have done this for you while you work. dishes
4. ironing... men cannot iron.
5. can send women to buy clothes (yeah they buy what they want but isn't it ****ing great not to have to go clothes shopping)
6. cooking (shared)
7. someone to look after you and make sure you take your pills.
It really depends whats important to you. theres quite a few on here that sound like tv and pub is their life.
Lol as a now confirmed bachelor after many attempts at the social norm. I respond with:
Shopping is easy..cooking is easy..freezer solves the quantity issues mentioned elsewhere.
I have sex about as much as my married mates...which at our age is not often lol.
Women clean up in the stupidest illogical ways..I get it done in a quarter of the time they ever did when I was in a house sharing relationship. And I mean clean...I don't try and do three things at once...just clean.
I can Iron well enough to get by..and it's a generation thing with women anyway..Mums can iron well..Past girlfriends where ****e at it.
The internet is for clothes...send em back if they don't fit...no traipsing around anywhere...can even have a beer while shopping lol..
I've been a better cook than any of my partners.
OK that last one is true up until they start saying they got over the illness in half the time.....every ten minutes.
I'll add these positives to bachelordom:
Pub when want.
Game when want
Films in silence.
Sleep when want.
Eat and Exercise when want.
No second guessing if they want an actual responses to what they are crying over or looking to use you as a scapegoat.
Downside:
At my age...family gatherings...weddings funerals...etc...fly solo and the only question you are asked is....you guessed it.
Kid conversations. Should be a ten minute limit.
Getting that sex bit without online dating or looking like an old pervert...or going to church lol..
