    I have loads of expensive underwear lying rould here. The only way a man will see it is if I am in a car crash and I have to have my clothes cut off.

    I can see you reducing the excess on your insurance and insuring your NCB in preparation for this "accident". :D

    I think you singlies are missing the point here. Whilst having an available OH to take to the many events on the social calendar is great it doesn't nescessarily mean that they actually want to go. In fact the amount of effort it takes to get them places at times means its infinately preferable to go on your own.

    Singlies never get the "and what time do you call this" ear bending when arriving home sober at 9pm having stayed out 30 minutes beyond the anticipated 8:30pm ending of a work related meeting. Sometimes its like I'm 12 again .

    Singlies don't have to share a bed with a snoring farting thing who after several beers becomes incapable of using toilet paper properly - uggh is the understatement of the year.

    Singlies get to wear whatever underwear they want without comment. It is not assumed that you will wear a g-string every single day of your life. No sane woman wants to go horse riding in a g-string!

    Singlies can wear whatever they like without comment and do not have to endure the recurring anti-pajama conversations.

    The only person to criticise a singlies outfit is the singlie themself. OHs have a knack of saying "you're not wearing that are you" when clearly you are or you wouldn't have put it on in the first place.

    There are no cries of "are you ready yet" three nano seconds after you enter the bathroom.

    On those days when all you fancy is beans on toast the OH will be adament thats its roast dinner night.

    As for TV well whilst I would like to watch Bridget Jones Diary or Desperate Housewives I invariably end up watching Trawlers, Rigs and Rescue (I kid you not it really exists and it is as dull as it sounds).

    OOOh and most important of all the ironing pile of your average singlie is 50% of the size of us marrieds. See you singlies have it all!

    Hmmm I'm not sure that the problem is actually being single in itself. It's more a confidence thing... if you feel good about yourself it's 100% easier to get a partner. The tough bit is projecting that image around yourself, that image of being sexy, smart and confident. That in itself will bring encounters and possibly more.

    On a slightly happier note I've arranged a casual drink with a purple-haired biker chick for when I get back to the UK in 2 weeks :D
    On a less happy note I had to blow $1750 on the plane tickets!!
    On a wierd note one of my exes has asked me to come to her end of year fashion show in Bath while I'm home but she's asked me to bring someone with me so a) I don't have a clue who to bring, male would be competition but female would instantly nullify any chances I had and b) I really want to stay over and party with her and her hot fashion friends but having someone else there would mean I couldn't stay without making it really obvious what's on my mind.

    I'm sorry for the demon I've become but you should be sorry for the angel you are not.

    I must say, I don't think we are missing the point. I have lived with a guy and I like the compromise that it needs, I just wished he had loved me and I wasn't on my own. It's preferable to living on one's own for ever and never experiencing anything new. As a single person, I don't have it "all". I don't have kids. I'm 32 and I've had enough of buying clothes.
