Dear Single Ladies, This One’s For You: 11 Things That Only Single People Can Enjoy

There is an old saying that claims "blondes have more fun", but what about all the brunettes, red-heads, black, and not forgetting the grey-haired lassies out there having ridiculous amounts of fun? 

We've decided to update that quote to, "singles have more fun."  Why? Because it is the truth.

All the ladies who independent throw your hands up at us… Here are eleven things that only the single folk can enjoy.

  

1. Indulge Regularly In Threesomes

Ben & Jerry are great lads. Always there for you when you need them. Through the highs and the lows. The emotional days, the happy days, and the extremely hungover days.

2. Shower Yourself With Gifts

Isn't it great that you've no one to spend your hard earned cash on other than yourself? Isn't it great that you can go into town for a new mascara and some foundation and leave with boots, a new coat, a dress, and sunglasses that were reduced? Walking down the street feeling a little like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. It is great, isn't it?!

3. Watch Reality TV In Peace What's this...? Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ first season is on for yet another re-run and you want to watch it even though you’ve seen it so many times you almost know each episode word-for-word? Well, you can and in peace, without any judgement!

4. It's Raining Men

As singles, we have learned how to truly appreciate those talented musician folk. Artists write more songs for those of us in a relationship with ourselves than they do for those in a relationship with a 'significant' other.

Absolute classics that only single people can enjoy include:

It's Raining Men Irreplaceable Independent Women I Will Survive All By Myself

Uh oh oh, oh uh oh oh oh, oh uh oh oh…. "All the Single ladies, all the single ladies," Sorry girls with boyfriends, excuse us while we make our way to the dance floor (running over anyone that steps in our way), Beyoncé is calling us.

5. Joey Doesn't Share Food

And either do we! You can order a Chinese without having to ask the other half, "what would you like", compromising the needs of your own taste buds.

Ask yourself this single Pringles, what would you enjoy more, sharing a meal with a special someone? Or sharing a special fried rice with yourself? We already know the answer to that one.

6. Holy(show) Sundays

Everyone knows Sunday is a family day, and every single gal knows Sunday is thee day for roughing it. We've come to learn that boyfriends are in fact an inconvenience on the last day of the week.

Sunday is also referred to as Fat day. Lazy day. Stay-in-your-pyjamas-day. Duvet day. The 'Fear' day. Emotional eating day.

7. The World Is Your Oyster

This is something your mother often said but you never fully understood what it was that she meant… until now.

The world is your proverbial oyster. You can channel your inner Christopher Columbus if you wish, and travel the world, free from EEB - emotional boyfriend baggage. You are free to do who and what ever you want, wherever you want!

8. Part-time Creeping Professional

The hidden text on the C.V. of every single red-blooded female.

Single-life has allowed to us to truly appreciate the male species in all its wondrous glory. Also allowing us to speak openly about it in public… "Did you see your man? Raw-hide."

9. Mean Girls

We can enjoy our 'girly' films and not be regularly subjected to watching Die Hard I-IV, the entire collection of Rocky, The Expendables or the likes. Don't get us wrong, we like them, in moderation, but ask your girlfriends with the boyfriends when was the last time they seen Mean Girls… exactly!

10. Fella Friends

Maintaining a friendship with a male when in a relationship with another male can prove difficult from time-to-time… But that's not something you have to worry about. Jealousy tends to set in and the male often likes to mark his territory… the old gentlemanly handshake with a deathly grip whilst holding constant eye-contact usually does the trick.

11. "You Can't Love Someone Until You Learn To Love Yourself."

Truer words were never spoken.
