Should we make some PSA’s for single living?

[OneQuestionBefore]

In an earlier post asking what happens to those people who never found relationship, it was flooded with comments saying single life is the best, how it’s so much better than being in a relationship and single people are happier, healthier, richer than people in relationships and having amazing adventures.

Thise were the comments on the thread.

Now this made me think, shouldn’t this secret be out to the public?
Most people around me want/are looking for or already have a relationship, shouldn’t we be telling them that being single is actually much better?
Why is the marriage/kids narrative still pushed, if it’s a lie?

I do feel that society is slowly moving towards this, but yes the goal seems to still be to “find someone”.

I agree with you we should tell children from the start that staying single and (care)free is a more than valid option.

im single 12 years now and couldn’t imagine being with many one again.

Marriage and with a nice person is a nice thing.

Too many make do with a substandard relationship because they are scared to embrace single life.

Marriage to a nice person is a nice thing as PP said, it’s human instinct to seek a partner, and if we didn’t do it we’d be a bit short of new people. Our birth rate is too low as it is.

What the people on the previous thread are saying is the single life is nice too, and even if it’s not your preference it’s a lot better than being in a poor relationship. Which is why it’s increasingly common and popular.

But you know all this.

This kind of was the point, that it’s either horrible relationship (most aren’t) vs. unstoppable great single life (I have doubts, because why is pretty much everyone trying or having a relationship then).

Which is why it’s increasingly common and popular.

Is it that common?
Or do people mean very different things when they say ’single’?
Many people I know insists that they are in ’situationships’ or fwb’s, there are so many names these days….
but they are what used to be called dating. Many of them are pretty much in relationship - just refuse to call it that😀
I don’t know anyone who is actually ’alone’ (sounds very dark, but I just mean is truly single)
Do many mean ’not married’, when they say single?

But you know all this.

Not really.

I’ve stayed single for 12 years since I split with kids dad.

deliberately single. I’ve had FWB a few times they are NOT relationships at all, yoj get some attention and maybe most of your sexual needs sorted, nothing else.

I’ve also been on dates and I’ve not been opposed to having a fling but I have never considered taking anything further as it’s just too much stress with another person to have to consider. I just don’t want that.

I don’t j understand why you think people aren’t allowed to date or fuck and still call themselves single.

’Allowed’ 😂
No, I’m not making rules for anyone, but it is different from being actually, totally alone.
So…

People are different ,lots of people are perfectly happy and content being single
And for lots of people a,relationship and children is the ultimate goal.nothing wrong with either choice.

And a thread about being single is going to.attract ,single people who are happy and content.
