Another nuanced and reflective article about being a single woman that admits in its title that being single isn’t the end goal for women.

The bonus of being a single woman:

  1. You can get fat and watch bad television over and over.  I’m inspired!
  2. You’re not burdened with “dead weight.”  (her term for the boyfriend, not mine) If ever there was a reason to never going shopping with a girl, this is it.
  3. You will get in better touch with your feelings . . . which will make you more in touch with them when you are in a relationship.  Good Lord, just what we need, women focusing on their feelings more, because that is working so well right now.
  4. Being a good aunt . . . and saving stray cats.
  5. Hobbies.  I have no objection to becoming a better person.
  6. You get to go out more . . .  and sleep with Cads!
  7. Travel and sleep with foreign Cads!
  8. You get used to the slow soul crushing ache in your heart over time . . . really, you do.
