Hi Julianarw, This question is not suitable for me as I am married with one kid. However,the reason why some people prefer to stay single because they want a privacy and freedom.No commitment in their life and not much responsibility too. If comparing my single and married life,it is so far different. During my single life, I am full of freedom. I can travel to wherever place I want without a need to inform someone and just no full responsibility.Being single is good but as a human being, we will feel lonely too.Therefore ,that is the time to get a partner for our life. For my married life, life is totally different for me especially with a kid comes along.I have to be responsible to my family and taking care of them is my duty. I have to perform my role as a wife and a mother in my family.No more freedom in my life.But i do enjoy my married life alot.At least, I have a lovely husband to share my problems and have a cute son to play with me.

I just broke up with my boyfriend last month.We've been together about seven months.I think we made a sensible decision.I prefer single life than coming uo with a boyfriend.I have a lot to do during my college life and I can't waste my most of time on love.I want to get a better job after graduation and then live a happy life with my Prince Charming.I have to be realistic.Although I like my ex-boyfriend very much,I have to think about our future.That's the best choice.

Well, I have three reasons. 1. I am incredibly shy. I have a hard time talking to a woman, though I have no idea why. 2. I have been turned down so many times, that I wouldn't know what to do if I successfully found someone. Which leads to number three is that I have been told that I am a very nice person, however, I am as big as a football player, if not bigger, so I guess they fear that i would crush them if I hug her, or I am flat out too strong, therefore becoming too much too handle. Especially since I am still getting bigger, so if I find someone, she is going to either like really strong guys, or she is strong enough to handle monsters like myself.

hi julianarw, i am not single. but i have few friends be single although she is not young anymore. a girl is in her 30 this year, but she never has a boyfriend, she even no tough with a boy's hand. and the reason for her being single i think is that she is too ugly. on the other hand, she is not in good mood.

At first I have to profess I'm not single and my romantic story have last for three years. But many classmates are still in the opposite station, what's more, in my dormitory, guys are all single other than me, so I own lots of experience to answer this question. In China, especially in this keener competition epoch, money is vitally important for man's readiness of starting a love, if you don't have money, you may lack of confidence, you are frightened to be looked down on. So many boys choose to lead a solitary life. Secondly, to find a soul mate is really a difficult thing, sometimes the good luck plays an important role. Boys, especially the one never has such experience, will feel nervous and think a lot before asking the girl out. Thirdly, different people have different standard in this problem, when we think they are alone, maybe they're patient and wait for a better choice, right?

I think I'm still single because my ex was a great boyfreind and he set the bar high so now I dont realy like the guys I might of liked before and it did take me some time to get over him.
