OH!
Of course, another reason being single sucks, although this is a double edged sword, is not having anyone to go to movies you.... may not want to be associated with having seen.
For example, I saw Wall-E with a girl I knew way back in the day. She wasn't part of the group of people I normally hang out with and only saw her a couple times a year. With a girlfriend, I could be going out watching movies like that that adults.... shouldn't be watching... all the time! I remember watching Transformers when it came out with my ex.......... 3 times. Now who else would indulge me with that kinda nonsense? THREE TIMES! all in theaters.
Plus, I mentioned earlier that it's not so bad of a situation when you don't get to go decent restaurants and I said it's not so bad because you always have friends you can go out with. However, come to think of it, one good thing about a gf is that if YOU want to go out, you can be like "EAT FOOD NOW RAWR GO". And boom. None of this coordinating with friends BS.
Oh and I guess uhm, someone careing about you more than almost everyone else in their life is quite a thing to miss out on as a single person. I hear that's important.

Yepperr.
Tickledorange: Living proof. Having to go to family get-togethers, and having yet another one of my wife's cousins walking up to her and telling her she's pregnant. All those years in frustration, trying to conceive, and here's another "I'm pregnant!" Like a knife going through both of our backs. Smiling and offering congratulations while I secretly imagined throwing this woman to a hungry alligator.
Thank God we don't have to go through that shit anymore.

Single bad: You buy a 10 gallon tub of ***fill in the blank*** at Sam's/Costco to save some green and then 9.75 gallons of it does turn green. Single good: Great mother-in-law prevention. Single bad: If your posse was couples and you become single, your membership status may be revoked. Single good: Pizza, beer, doughnuts, Doritos. Burp!! (repeat) Single bad: Knowing that special someone will not be coming home in a few hours. You do have to be happy with yourself first, just don't go blind, dude!!

Man I'm soooooo detached from that idea. I guess when you're young, the perspective is so different. Everyone who I see getting pregnant multiple times I just think ".... you don't even live in your own house, why do you have 3 children!??!" because they're all young and have no careers. Then you see everyone going "congrats!!" and them doing the whole super disgustingly happy thing. It's so annoying. It's also unfortunate because anyone who has had behind-the-scenes access to couples with multiple kids at a very young and financially unstable age knows that most of the time things collapse or spawn awful drama.

I've seen such events... It's an evil atrocity for the child.

1. No guaranteed date on the weekends.
Should everything always be guaranteed. Are you obligated to date every weekend?
2. Feeling inadequate and awkward when you go to family events (weddings, ect) and you're one of the only cousins there with no gf/bf.
Actually aside from my older cousins who are married most of my cousins are single too and I've never been to a wedding in my life. But family events are awkward because I have no girlfriend, no job and almost nothing to say about my life whatsoever aside from how I have chronic health issues. I hate being asked about my life because I have no life and no shared interests with anyone.
3. Going out to eat consists of stopping by a fast-food joint because you ain't doing sitdown meals in nice restaurants alone.
I pretty much eat fast food everyday, when I'm not sick anyway and not able to eat at all. I go to restaurants with family though.
4. You don't get to do things that couples do like take trips together on long weekends, picnics, random long drives to places you've never been, and other places that you wouldn't go with friends like the zoo or something (fun with a gf, strange with your buddies)
Why can't you do those things with friends or family?
5. When you drink you just get depressed because you're single
I don't drink and I'm always depressed anyway.
6. When you are single all the girls that acted interested in you when you had a gf suddenly become distant and no longer interested
Ok I never had a GF so can't comment on that.
7. Holidays are just the worst.......don't even get me started on how depressing holidays are when you're single
Eh, I never made a big deal about holidays.
8. Worst of all.....once your friends get gf's, you don't have anyone to hang out with and end up spending your weekends watching tv alone.
None of my friends have girlfriends and we only rarely see each other and when we do we mostly just watch stuff or play video games.
Just for the record though I've never had a girlfriend, most of my friends haven't or have had only short or REALLY terrible ones. By and large we're all unemployed or in low paying jobs and almost none of us drive. So we're all pretty much in the same boat and have little to be happy about. Most of our conversations are about whose life sucks most. I'm not satisfied in any area of my life and on top of everything else I've been chronically ill since 2009.
