One of the main reasons is to enjoy more freedom. No commitment to any one.Not much of responsibilities when you stay single. But do you think that life is a complete one? Do you think they enjoy life better than married persons?

Being a single is a choice I'm also a single. We much enjoy our freedom, no one dictate me and we don't have responsibilities. I admit being a single is also lonely but at the same time happy.

I agree with you, but when people have in relationships i think they too should enjoy each others freedom. with some limitations of course, i have seen couples do this stuff. yeah, I feel lonely from time to time most specially now that i don't have a computer back home. it can be tiring sometimes but what can i Do.

hello vijayanths... i think, if its their choice to be single, then maybe they are happy. how we will enjoy our life depends on us and we should not depend our happiness to other people i think... i know some people who stays single till their old age and i ask them why...they said that that's what they want and that they are already happy just serving their family and be with them...some just get bad experience on love that's why they become afraid of loving again... so many reasons why a person choose to be single...but whether they are happy or not, only them can tell...

hello muscles... hmmm that was indeed a sad experience in love...and i guess gives you a trauma in loving again or be with someone again, but since you choose to be alone, i hope you are still happy living by yourself...by the way, do you have children to share your life with? wish you all the luck & blessings...

I am single because that is what i want. I want to run my life for now, I don't want to be dictated although it is not always happening in a relationship but sometimes it did. I want to be carefree but i still want to be taken care of. I still want to do so many things that i haven't done. Actually I have no plans of having a relationship of my own. I never imagine myself getting married. I am much more seeing myself growing old alone which is sad. Maybe it is destined.

I think it really depends on the person. There are people who are happy being alone considering that there are no commitments and you are free to do whatever you wish to do. There are also people who like to have a companion in life and feel empty being alone. Apparently it depends on the person in the end. Life is what we make it and each one of us is different. So I think its a matter of choice.

I don't think being married is a guarantee of being happy, so correspondingly, I doubt that being single is a guarantee of being unhappy.

I think those people who are themselves it feel better.Some people find that the only because they are freedom of movement,expression,thei can do whatever when they want.Loneliness is one way to find out who we truh.Some people need to know better,to learn who we really are unable.Some people each take responsability of a family.

Hi vijayanths, Not necessarily to enjoy freedom. There are some who have been forced to remain single because of responsibilities . I have an aunt who had to remain single because she had to look after the family...There are others who remain single because they are scared of responsibilities ...all the best and happy mylotting

some men and women who chose to be single are those who are afraid of lifetime commitments. they are afraid of obligations and responsibilities. but they have no idea what they are missing in life.

stay single - To stay single doesn't make people's life incomplete or miserable, which is a common life style.
I guess there are many reasons that lead to people to stay single all the time. You see, to stay single means people can enjoy a free life. What's more, if people choose to get married, then they will spend much money on wedding and honeymoon. Yes, it's quite expensive to get married these days, moreover to raise a family. So others choose not to enter into relationship and be frustrated from not being able to fully support so. Also, it would be too selfish to drag your loved one to poverty. In my eyes, to stay single doesn't make people's life incomplete or miserable, which is a common life style.

Some people stay single because they see marriage as a complication. Some see other people who get married having a hard time that they have given up a lot of things especially there freedom and some who have become bitter because they are so tied up to something that is difficult to get out of . Some people are free spirits who value their independence and don't want to be obligated or to be attached to others for fear of obligating themselves . Some people who are so sure of what they want enjoy life better but ofcourse it is also lonely to be single sometimes.

I think one consideration for the marriage was financial problems. if someone has established it tends to get married and have kids. as a means of gratification needs and continue outward lineage to exist. I think both the status of single or have married each have their own problems.

why do they stay single? in my opinion and experience wise ,simple because, reason number 1 they hate commitment they wanted toi be easily go lucky. Reason number 2 they want freedom, freedom that no one is directing there lives on what to do and when to do this things. And lastly it is a choice that they wanted to stay single. im not saying that its a good thing to stay single forever but i guess the reason is they will just enjoy the freedom that they are having.

I think its a matter of preference even if we think being single its a complete and fulfilled life but to them they are happy with being single. Different people have different strokes i guess.

hello vijayanths, as for me, i remain single because i don't chase women off line, other wise i would have a lot of dates and other acquiantances which are women, not that am attractive no, it's just that having a relationship is a hell of a hard work and the only way to keep you from doing all of those is when you're in LOVE

I think what you said is one valid reason. Everyone has their own opinion though. I think life being complete depends on what you think makes it complete. I prefer being with a partner rather than being single though.

They stay single for a reason they didn't have someone to marry with or for a reason they don't want to commit or have responsibilities in life. Commitment is very much important to anybody for a fact that if you can't commit you cannot enjoy your marriage life. Being single doesn't really mean that nobody is destined for you but because you hold up destiny far away that it might have destined for someone else.

Hi,vijayanths in my opinion ,person chose to be singal ,that because some person enjoy this state ,more freedom ,they fell happy ,some person because they still cannot find a person who he or she love each other , different person have different situation and reasons ,no matter what's it ,it depend on ourselves .
