I find that bisexual women tend to be married to heterosexual men.
Single bisexual women seem to be into a "swinging" OR multiple-partner life style [polyfidelity to hudsband"s"] OR looking for a homosexual woman for mere "exploration".
I believe that the former violates "Natural Law of Compatibility" and the later violates the "Spiritual Law of Intimacy".
I believe "sometimes" that single heterosexual men marry single bisexual women OR they'll marry single heterosexual women and "seduce" them into bisexuality--just to promote thier fantacies [characteristic of lust] and NOT for personal "self-other" fulfillment [characteristic of True LOVE].Do these ladies ever find "TRUE LOVE" and compatibility [a mate]?
Do single bisexual women "ever" realize, "before" marriage to a heterosexual man, that they would be most happiest and understood marrying a "single" bisexual man?
What do you guys and gals think? bi-ladies "PLEASE weigh into this one"-%26amp; bi-gents
Mr"LONESOME"4two
Do the single Bisexual woman EVER marry a single Bisexual Man?
Sure I have a friend that is bi and so is the guy she married . I have know her since before she was married and she wanted to find a guy that would understand her need to be with women . She met her husband at a concert she attended with some friends and he was there with his boyfriend at the time . They connected and 2 years later they were married and have a little girl now . She has her friends and He has his . It works for them and they still love each other as well .
Reply:I think that you're working off a lot of conjecture here. I think the issue is a simple sampling problem.
There are more out bi women then out bi men. If you are a bisexual woman looking to settle down with a male, you're statsitcally more likely to find a straight male then a bisexual male. If there are 100 guys in the room, 97 of them will be straight, 1 will be bi, and two will be gay. So I don't think that bi women settling in with straight men has to do so much with a deliberate choice, but the lack of bisexual male options. If you want to change the pattern, be more of an out bi male and get your friends to do so as well.
I don't agree that all bisexual women would be most happiest and understood marrying a "single" bisexual man, I think it completely depends on the man. I've known some gems of straight guys and some a$$hole bisexual men. Just being bi doesn't guarantee that you'll be a good partner. Theorhetically, yes, bisexual men would be more likely to understand issues around bisexuality better, but even that doesn't count for 100%.
For myself, I'm currently dating a bi female, and there is something nice about sharing my bi-ness with her and having her get it. If we were to break up, I would prefer to date another bisexual, male or female, but I would never go so far to completely rule out the monosexuals (lesbians and straight men). I prefer to judge people on an individual basis and I feel that is always going to be the best way to figure out what is right for a person.
Reply:Dani_kin's answer is one of the most impressive ones on this subject of social science I've yet seen.
I tend to agree with dani's answer....still more interviews and further sociological study by qualified sociologists are in order....and always up to a good debate over mocha coffee (espicially on grey cold rainy days)

Is Single 1 tax status the same as being married, but withhold at a higher single rate?
I got married in Sept. 2006. My payroll changed my tax status to Married 1. I ended up owing the IRS in April, 2007. (My husband never changed his status from Single 1.) My accountant suggested that I file as Married, but withhold at a higher single rate. After a pay period or two, I noticed that my payroll dept. did not do this. They claimed that their paychex system does not have a check box for that option. They switched my status to Single 1. I feel that not only is too much money being withheld from my paycheck, but also, can't I get into trouble for filing as a Single 1 when I am married? Does anyone have any recommendations for how my husband and I should file? (Our accountant last year did a Married, filing separately return. My status was Married, 1 at the time. My husband was Single 1.)
Thanks.
Is Single 1 tax status the same as being married, but withhold at a higher single rate?
"Married but withhold at the higher single rate" and "Single" are the same as far as withholding are concerned. There's nothing wrong with your withholding being done that way. It would only be a problem if you were to file a tax return as "Single". How you complete Form W-4 with your employer and how you file your tax return are separate and distinct issues. Don't confuse the two!
What I would be more curious about is why your accountant filed your returns as Married Filing Separately. You'll normally pay more tax that way. Married Filing Jointly is how you would normally want to file as you'll pay less total tax that way unless you have a very unusual tax situation.
Reply:You need to ask why your accountant file a MFS return. That is normally not the most advantageous way for a married couple to file. There are a few circumstances in which MFS is advisable but they are rare. As for your withholding, basically you can put any status you want on the W-4 withholding form as long as you don't come up short at tax time. The withholding categories are nothing more than a system to guesses how much withholding you will need to cover your tax liability.
Reply:For W-4 purposes, the "single 1" would be the same as "married 1 but withhold at higher single rate" - and you won't get in trouble as long as you file your actual tax return as married.
Was there some reason why your accountant did your returns last year as married filing separately? You almost always save total tax for the two of you if you file a joint return - depending on circumstances, it might be a little, might be a lot.
Reply:If you were married on the last date of year 2006, then your status cannot be Single. It can be Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. Your husband should not file as Single.
Here is a tip from IRS publication:
"If you and your spouse each have income, you may want to figure your tax both on a joint return and on separate returns (using the filing status of married filing separately). Choose the method that gives the two of you the lower combined tax."
Thanks.

Are single girls really out there at 27?
Are there any single girls left or is it just a bunch of girls that say they are single but have some guy they are "talking" to? I've failed to meet a girl from any place, the library to the bar that was just single. There always seems to be some guy they are talking to or some boyfriend they are taking a break from. Girls seem to always have someone no matter what their status is. If they are truly single then it's because of some reason that ends up driving you away. There was only one girl I've meet in the past 5 years that has been truly single. She turned out to have a chemical imbalance. She hired a PI to follow me around because she thought I was cheating on her. We weren't even dating and I wasn't talking to any other girls. When the PI told her that she freaked out and tried to kill me. That to me is what single is. Is there anything left?
Are single girls really out there at 27?
you know I feel the same way about men, LOL. I'm 35 and single not dating anyone. Heck I hardly have time to do any looking. Maybe we are both looking in the wrong places. It seems like all the good men out there are taken to me too.
Reply:There are sooooo many terrific single 27 year old women out there. You are not looking in the right places!
Pursue your interests and you will find single women with similar interests. For example, if you love the symphony, start going to symphonies. If you love kayaking, join a kayak club. If you are a church guy, join a church group. If you enjoy hiking, join a hiking club. There are also singles cruises and singles excursions to get in on.
By getting yourself involved in your community and in various clubs and organizations, you increase your odds of finding like-minded, available women.
Note, just because a woman is 27 and not married does NOT mean she is flawed. She is merely DISCRIMINATING and has not found the right guy!

Why so hard on single mothers?
I am not sure why so many people believe the stereotypes about single moms. Anyone know? I am the organizer of two local single parents groups, and I can say the following stats are the approx. make-up of both my groups (I have a total of 84 members between the 2 groups):
So what's the "average" single parent really like? According to the U.S. Census Bureau...
She is a Mother:
83.1% of custodial parents are mothers
16.9% of custodial parents are fathers
She is Divorced or Separated:
Of the mothers who are custodial parents:
45.9% are currently divorced or separated
30.5% have never been married
21.8% are married (In most cases, these numbers represent women who have remarried.)
1.7% were widowed
Of the fathers who are custodial parents:
56.4% are divorced or separated
23.1% are currently married (In most cases, these numbers represent men who have remarried.)
19.7% have never married
0.8% were widowed
She is Employed:
80% of custodial single mothers are gainfully employed
50.5% work full time, year round
29.6% work part-time or part-year
89.8% of custodial single fathers are gainfully employed
70.6% work full time, year round
19.2% work part-time or part-year
She and Her Children Do Not Live in Poverty:
26.1% of custodial single mothers and their children live in poverty
13.4% of custodial single fathers and their children live in poverty
She Does Not Receive Public Assistance:
30.3% of all single parents receive public assistance
Only 8.4% of single parents receive TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)
She is 40 Years Old or Older:
36.8% of custodial mothers are 40 years old or older
She is Raising One Child:
55.6% of custodial mothers are raising one child
44.4% have two or more children living with them

Why so hard on single mothers?
My problem is the lack of concern/selfishness. Its certainly possible for single mothers to raise a great kid. Why would one intentionally do this though? I guees I'm old fashion but I think having a male role model is a good thing(assuming he is worthy). When I grew up having a kid out of wedlock was called a bastard. Curious if you had grandparents??? I know things happen but...what happened to responsibility??? I don't care for my hard earned taxes going to pay for your(not all single moms) sexual mistakes. Get some birth control.
Reply:Perhaps some people have a negative view of single mothers because they have had a negative personal experience. As the saying goes, "one bad apple spoils the bunch." A person might know 15 middle aged single mothers with one child and one single mother on welfare with four kids by three days. Which one is most likely to stick out in their memory?
Reply:sorry too long to read...kinda looks like you just copied and pasted most of your question
Reply:Why because if you haven't noticed still in 2008,in the age of technology, we still blame women for being rape.....We ask them questions and ask them what they were doing and what kind of clothes they were wearing...So that being said, still in this day and age we blame the women for going to bed and not being protected. Still we blame women for not being able to say NO when a guy is insisting on having sex. Why because still to this day, girls are being raised being told to be nice, to to say anything offensive, to use their looks not their brains. Still mothers make their daughters do the dishes and clean their bedrooms , while they let the brothers go off to play video games. That's why. The society mostly women are the ones raising women who have no self esteem...
So if you want to know why, look at mothers who take sides..
That's why.
Reply:i understand but yes most guys dont wantto date women wit hkids. i personally dont care because if they are a good mother and are a good person i will be a good man to her and do my best to be there for her and her kids. we guys arent all shallow
Reply:So, if there's so many single mother's out there, where are they? Why don't I meet any of them?
Reply:I've found out some things today, that really upset me. I'm glad I am no longer a single mother. They're having a harder time than ever.
A friend has just got divorced, with a private agreement. Before the ink was even dry on the paper, her ex moved in with his new partner and her two children. He has now applied to the CSA for a reduction of maintenance. They've only been divorced a couple of months. And he's got it, private agreement has been thrown out the window. Also, because the new ex has got two children, the child support has been reduced. The new partner's salary hasn't even been taken into account, even though she works and her former husband pays maintenance.
So her kids receive the benefit of three salaries, while my friend is now really struggling. All the kids had activities - guess who can no longer afford the music lessons, etc etc?
This whole lot stinks. It is outrageous.
The csa is geared towards mothers on benefits. But try beiing independent and managing your own way. There's no help or support.
PS The future MRs - actually, many of us had no choice in the decision. I certainly didn't, nor did my friend. And very few of the divorcees I know, did, although I accept that there is one who chose that path.
Reply:I have nothing against single RESPONSIBLE mothers who were married and are now alone. I just cannot understand all these young kids who sleep around, get themselves pregnant and then expect sympathy and to be kept by tax payers. Many will think I am behind the times, maybe I am, but I would rather be the way I am than have no moral standards, which is the problem with youngsters today. What is to stop in-breeding from happening with all these young girls having babies and no idea WHO the father is? There are far reaching consequences here and they need to be addressed.
Reply:What sterotypes? Sterotype that single moms work hard? Or that single moms just sit there and take up welfare money? I've heard both types.
Reply:It's all the prudish "Christian" conservatives who stick their noses in the air to any one who did anything "unconventional".

They love to boast about how long they've been married, what church they go to, and how many gold stars their children have received at bible camp. Meanwhile their husbands are porking prostitutes behind their backs.....

(and a star)
Reply:You forgot a couple of statistics......
What are the number of single mothers who had unplanned pregnancies prior to having a husband or committed partner? How about the number of single mothers who secretly planned a pregnancy without the involvement or knowledge of their partner, thus trapping them into child support?
The aforementioned single mothers deserve all the harshness they get.
Reply:It' hard to raise children %26amp; alot of 2 parents homes still have problems if they have to work alot they still might not have much time for themselves %26amp; their kids. I'm not sure what your questions is. If you are saying people treat single mothers poorly then that might just be that they feel left out when married mothers are busy too so they really can't help out someone cause they are single. also a married mother might be staying in a marriage even if she isn't happy %26amp; might resent someone who divorced %26amp; goes out on dates etc.
Reply:Ok I am a divorcee so I get the whole being divorced thing, I have no children though. I have sisters and friends who are either currently single mothers or have been in the past.
Here is the deal-
1.7% of single moms did not choose to be single moms (the widows).
The rest on some level did. Sometimes divorces are necessary. Sadly those times continue to increase. I believe that most divorces are frivolous and if one or both spouses would stop being so dang selfish the divorce would not occur. If parents started thinking about the well being of their children rather than the instant gratification of the parent, then there would not be so many divorces.
Single Moms whine about their life and their situation, yet they did not stop to think about that when they were making choices that affect their child's life.
Never married mom's were too concerned about getting laid to really think about the consequences and the affect it would have on their children.
The fact is that children do best in a home with their mother and father. They do even better when Mom is able to stay home and raise them.
I know this sounds harsh, but people like to make excuses. Instead of owning up to the poor choices they have made they sit around a whine about how hard their life is. You can't expect to put your hand on a red hot burner and not be burned- I am not sure why people think they can make poor choices and then not have consequenses.

What's so great about being single ?
One person told me I should use the name "Single and Free" . Someone else told me I should use the name "Single and Loving It" . What's so attractive about being single and free or someone who likes being single ? Why would someone who likes being single ever get married ? What's to stop someone who liked being single from going for a divorce the minute things get difficult ? Being single is the WORST ! Nobody even gives you a hug when you need it ! The single life is cruel . I'm being wasted on the single life . A single person can't have a decent Thanksgiving or a decent Christmas . I hate being single . (I feel insulted because in forty -- five years, no woman has ever wanted me for a husband . Being single is a curse .

Reply:It's too bad you feel that way. Personally I do enjoy being single because it means making all my own choices and doing what I want to do when I want to do it. But I fully understand the part about hugs and holidays. What you need to try to do is surround yourself with friends and family as much as possible, esp on holidays. Stop punishing yourself and putting yourself down. The only thing that's a "curse" is your attitude.
Reply:It all depends on the situation. Some people discover that being single is a good thing AFTER having a relationship, usually a bad one. Being single for a while is kind of boring though, I mean being single isn't BAD, but you still want to go out and meet other people. Marriage isn't necessarily the inevitable. Just have fun!
Reply:You can do whatever you want, go where you want and can be completely selfish. Being single isn't a curse - people just don't see it as being 'right' which is madness. Some people don't want to get married or settle down and are much happier on their own. If there is someone out there for you, you will find each other - if you want a woman and haven't found one perhaps you aren't looking in the right places? Bear with it - good luck.
Reply:being single sucks big time. i love to love and be loved and have some one to protect me and look after me and i know that my boyfriend loves to make me feel safe. it's great having someone be so in love with you and you feeling the same about them, i love the strong bond that we have with each other. i'm so glad i have him.
Reply:I was happily divorced about a month ago. My term to make me feel good about being single. No matter how you justify being single, it doesn't make you feel any better inside. My married friends envied my life style no one to answer to, no one to check in with, just free to do whatever you want. I secretly envied them, because they had that soul mate. I can't tell you that you're going to be happy single cause that's a lie, but I can tell you that if you express yourself truthfully without sounding desperate women will come around. They may have children, ex's or previous relationship scars, but there are ladies out there looking to be treated like ladies. Good Luck!
Reply:That's one way to look at it. I accept your view. It's not shared by me though.
Reply:I think you just need to get out more and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Pity parties dont work.()
Reply:Being single is what you make of it. If you have good friends and family Christmas and Thanksgiving should still be good. If you base your self worth and happiness on other people than maybe thats why you hate being single so much. You don't need someone else to be happy. I am single and perfectly content. I like it. But if someone came along that I really liked I would get into a relationship. Just because you like being single doesnt mean you always have to be or always will be. You need to enjoy it and take some time out for yourself. Not wallow in it and see it as a negative thing. Women like confidence. You seem to be lacking that if you say no womean has ever wanted you as a husband. Try loving yourself and gain some confidence.

1. You dont have to tell anyone where you're going all the time.
2. You dont have to ask for permission (if it's ok w/ them or w/ever)
3. You get to hang out w/ friends a lot more (sometimes when you're a relationship you tend to ditch those good 'ol pals)
4. You wont be cheating (therefor you wont have the guilt)
But I do agree with you being in a relationship is a lot better than being single. You always need that someone there to have you're back when you need them the most.
I wish you the best of luck finding your mate!!
Reply:LOL you're dead wrong.
There are some of us men who aren't needy and don't need hugs left and right but still get them from female friends. What's so great about single? You don't have to compromise. You can do whatever you want when you want it. You can(if you choose to) sleep around with many many many women.
Now I'm not saying that having a gf/wife is bad. It's not. But there are things you can do when single that you can't do when u're married. That's all.
You should lighten up and see the brighter side of all this.
Reply:single is beautiful,you enjoy your freedom.just be yourself and dont expect anything from anyone.Being single is the best.
Reply:It is fun to be single because you do not have to take crap from anyboy and you only have to listen to yourself and you wont get nagged at by a wife or anything!
Reply:I'm so sorry you feel that way. Sometimes I feel that way too, I'm 42 years old and have been divorced for 5 years and I wonder if I'm ever going to find a man who loves me. However, then I realize that I like sitting around burping and farting and also spending my money the way I want to spend it, and basically just being independent. But, I know that's no consolation.
Reply:Sorry that you have allowed the single life to be a curse to you. BUT I am loving IT. Single life means NO commitments, NO drama, NO bullshit. I am a free bird and can see and do what I want, when I want and for as long as I want. I was married and also in long relationships and nothing compares to the single life. I can not imagine what a man would have to bring to the table for me to commit. I LOVE the single life.
Reply:You can eat what you want go anywhere you want to . Have as many friends as you want. Be anything you want to be with out having the responsibilites that come w/ marriage.
Reply:I'm with you, being single sucks. Especially around the holidays. We just got through 3 of the toughest ones and now along comes Valentine's Day. Its brutal.
Reply:Sorry I was blown away with your LOOOOOOOONNG paragraph with added questions, Ya lost me. Could you repeat that, please. PS do not email me this. Thank you.
Reply:Hold on, take it easy.. there a lot of good things on being single and with having someone, usually everyone just likes to complain what ever their romantic situation.
When I have been single (as no one anywhere) I have enjoyed it cause I can do anything I fancy without any further responsability, Ive studied the things I want, travelled by myself or with my friends, went out, being in differente societies and charities, etc.
Yes sometimes it gets awfull when you realize everyone has someone and you are by yourself, specially cause you realize that proffesionally and everything is great in life but you are always having diner alone..
When I thought it had been enough of that feeling I decided to join on match and it did worked pretty well ;) seriously dont get so frustrated nor stressed about it, or youll find no one.
Reply:Yeah
But try telling that to a man who has been married for thirty years and he will tell you different
Reply:Single seems great when you're with someone - and not so great when you're not. It's ok for a while, but when things go thru a dry spell - it's not the best.
Reply:I feel you I really do, I just got out of a 10 year relationship and it hurts, but think about the good stuff. Like getting that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you first meet someone or that unbelievable tingly feeling you get when you kiss someone for the first time.
What's so great about being single ?
No responsibilities in life.
Reply:Personally I don't think it is great or even good but I know that it beats being with someone that makes you a miserable wreck all the time!
Reply:It's too bad you feel that way. Personally I do enjoy being single because it means making all my own choices and doing what I want to do when I want to do it. But I fully understand the part about hugs and holidays. What you need to try to do is surround yourself with friends and family as much as possible, esp on holidays. Stop punishing yourself and putting yourself down. The only thing that's a "curse" is your attitude.
Reply:It all depends on the situation. Some people discover that being single is a good thing AFTER having a relationship, usually a bad one. Being single for a while is kind of boring though, I mean being single isn't BAD, but you still want to go out and meet other people. Marriage isn't necessarily the inevitable. Just have fun!
Reply:You can do whatever you want, go where you want and can be completely selfish. Being single isn't a curse - people just don't see it as being 'right' which is madness. Some people don't want to get married or settle down and are much happier on their own. If there is someone out there for you, you will find each other - if you want a woman and haven't found one perhaps you aren't looking in the right places? Bear with it - good luck.

Any single moms out there?
Single Mom Survey
1)In what ways do you feel different compared to other non-single mothers? Not that many, to be honest. Some people can be slightly judgemental, but once they know your personal situation they're fine. Otherwise, parenting is parenting.
2)How old where you when you had your first child? I'm a foster parent, and I was 24 when my first child was placed with me.
3)How old are you? 25 now.
4)Where you planning on being a single mom? Explain? Yes, as I wanted to be a foster parent and didn't have a partner, after some careful thinking I decided I could do it on my own.
5)Do you treat your children differently because they don’t have a father figure? No, although I have a very good male friend (NOT a boyfriend) who is kind enough to spend a lot of time with us, so they do have a positive male role model.
6)Do you think it’s harder on you and your children? Hard to say, in some ways it's always harder doing things alone, but basically things go smoothly for us.
7)Have you ever considered marriage? Not yet.
8)What kind of reactions do you receive from friends and family members? Positive ones mainly.
9)Do you feel your children get discriminated because of your situation? And how do your children feel about it? No, I've never felt that.
10)What kind of help do you receive? Financial assistance (the same as all parents recieve in Australia).
11)What type of challenges do you face being a single mother? Honestly, I think the same challenges that all parents face.
Reply:When I was a single mother, I didn't think too much of it. I got child support (not court ordered). I received help from both sets of grandparents. I worked a full time job (just as I would have if I had a hubby). My daughter was raised well and received pratically whatever she wanted (didnt wanna spoil her too much). I believe that because single parenting is so common, no child should get discriminated against, (by whom? other single parents?) The divorce rate is 50%. Single parent children are like the majority. I am married now and things go on as it always had. No difference , not a big deal (a second income, so I work pt, but I spend the same quality time that I always have with my daughter). I am 31 and had my daughter at 21, i didnt want to be a "statistic" but I became one anyway.
Reply:Single Mom Survey
1)In what ways do you feel different compared to other non-single mothers?
I feel sad for my child, that he/she wont have a daddy in her life, only a man known as her Biological Father.
2)How old where you when you had your first child?
i will have my first child in June.
3)How old are you?
31
4)Where you planning on being a single mom? Explain?
NO, lol he cheated on my at Christmas and he thought cause i was preg that i would accpet it, but i broke up with him.
5)Do you treat your children differently because they don’t have a father figure?
I wont, I have brothers that will be there for my child, and i hope to someday meet a good man.
6)Do you think it’s harder on you and your children?
in my case no, he has 5 other children besides mine, and i should have known that he would be a deadbeat based on his past.
7)Have you ever considered marriage?
yeah, i would love to get married.
8)What kind of reactions do you receive from friends and family members? only support.
9)Do you feel your children get discriminated because of your situation? And how do your children feel about it?
that wont happen, its to common here.
10)What kind of help do you receive?
my mom is a huge help, she bought me everything that i need for my baby, and i moved back in with her so that she can help me for the first few months.

1)In what ways do you feel different compared to other non-single mothers? I feel luckier a lot of the time. I don't have to answer to anyone, my kids have one set of rules. It can be hard at times because sometimes it would be good to have an extra hand and then I listen to my friends complain about hubby's doing nothing and yelling at kids and feel good again
2)How old where you when you had your first child? I had my twins a few weeks before my 24th birthday
3)How old are you? was 34 on Sunday
4)Where you planning on being a single mom? Explain? Sure was. I came out of a relationship and I wanted kids but didn't want to look for a guy just to have kids. I have a hip disability and was told I need to have kids sooner rather than later. So did AI rather than use a guy just to have kids
5)Do you treat your children differently because they don’t have a father figure?
Not really. I try to involve them in activities that have positive role models but that is about it, They know families come in all different forms.
6)Do you think it’s harder on you and your children? Sometimes it is a little hard on my son as he had an image in his head of wonder dad. Once I showed him that Dads aren't just males that play with their kids all day long he saw it a bit more realisticly. He actually told me the other day he was glad he just has a mum
7)Have you ever considered marriage? If I met the right person for sure
8)What kind of reactions do you receive from friends and family members?
All VERY supportive
9)Do you feel your children get discriminated because of your situation? And how do your children feel about it? Not at all. Possibly we don't get invited to as many things as their is no hubby and people sometimes like couples, but they are not your real friends in my eyes. Real friends don't care. My daughter has never said anything about not having a father. And my son I answered above
10)What kind of help do you receive? I am on a disability pension due to my hip so that is financial help. I have friends and family for any other help I may need
11)What type of challenges do you face being a single mother? Having to do the "guy" stuff around the house. Doesn't bother me but it can be a challenge at times lol

9) not sure yet,,, i have one friend i think that looks down at the fact she doesnt have her dad in her life ,,, but apart from that ill raise bobbi to think she is no different than other kids in other situation as
10) i get centrelink, thats about it , i dont recieve child support from her dad and he doesnt have access, so mainly once every three months my sister might have her over night for me,
11) well you have to organise everything like christmas presents , birthday parties ,even clothes for seasons months before the event happens so you have time to pay laybys off as you dont have the other income coming in,,
also you have to be sure that the punishment you are handing out is right for your child on your own and also just meals and stuff just knowing what is good for your child and what is bad its all on your back as to what you decide

Reply:I am a 57 yr old retired elem teacher and I got divorced in 1985 when mine were 6 and 8. Being a single parent, according to james Dobson of Focus and the FAmily, being a single parent is the hardest job in the world and I will agree 100 % with that. No one can even imagine how hard it is !! They have now done studies that show children of single parents (I'm speaking from divorces), that it is very very hard on the children. I was 26 with my first child. My family basically saw me as the black sheep because I got a divorce, whether it was my fault or not !! It is EXTREMELY hard to be the bread winner and a nurturing mom at the same time, and I lost my total health to trying to do it all

No one can even imagine how hard it is !! They have now done studies that show children of single parents (I'm speaking from divorces), that it is very very hard on the children. I was 26 with my first child. My family basically saw me as the black sheep because I got a divorce, whether it was my fault or not !! It is EXTREMELY hard to be the bread winner and a nurturing mom at the same time, and I lost my total health to trying to do it all
UK SINGLE CHART!Someone tell me=)?
hello...can u tell me why for you british people the single chart is so important?it seems that the single chart is more rilevant than the album one...why?is it a tradition?nowadays no-one buy single cd...sometimes it' s hard to find the singles but you have the shops full of every release every week...for ex i went in french and there were not many singles in the stores(a lot of album)...same in spain and italy..singles cd are less important in the business..someone explain me=)bye
UK SINGLE CHART!Someone tell me=)?
It's true that no-one buys singles, and more people buy albums, but I suppose the singles chart is more popular as it focuses on individual songs, and it is the songs that become popular not necessarily the album. Also, sometimes someone may release a single, but not an album, so they would have no other way of being recognized. And yes, it the single chart is a tradition, so there's that too.
Hope that answered your question! Take care!
Reply:because the single is the one that attracts mainstream audience. its like if you buy an book and you like it alot you read all of it you pay for it something like 5 bucks. but if you sell i sell i to you in chapeter and charge you about2.50 per and there is like 10 chapters i make more money.its also easier to advertise then say a whole album . a song is just a catchy tune while an album is a concept and its also a lot harder to get people to buy the whole album off the bat.so its just chopped down for more money. sorry other quick example you wont play a whole album at an awards show but you can play the single and have an audience listen to it and maybe one of them will buy the album. its all marketing and attention span.
Reply:in my teenage years singles important, not now i buy albums and follow specific groups, but downloads are not working as stated, people prefer something they can hold on to,.........memorabelia, a CD
the latest out is the CD open disc system which as well as tracks connects you with the band on all different parts of the internet, such as myspace, but straight into to that band
buy kt tunstall-drastic fantastic - open disc system-find out!
Reply:It isn't important anymore not since they did away with Top Of The Pops. No one knows what's in the charts anymore since they did that unless you listen to the radio of which i don't it's got too boring now. best charts ever was in 70's 80's none now though.
Reply:guess it hasnt changed since the days we could only afford the single.
Reply:because we generate the best all round music globally there is a market for it.............simple as that!

Being single bites! What do you think?
It can be a hurting thing when you are single and ALL of your female friends got bf's. My girlfriends back in my hometown are single except for one and if they all weren't single than they would still find time for me, but ALL of my girlfriends at my college are not single. They are the type of girls who can't handle being single %26amp; b/c of that they always have bf's. They would just about take any man for the sake of not being single, which I think is sad. But what's worse is that means they never make time for me! For God's sakes is it THAT hard to balance friend time with your f*cking time w/ your boyfriend? I feel rejected. I DO wish I had a boyfriend but I am picky and rather work on myself than jump into relationship after relationship just to have a man unlike my emotionally dependent girlfriends. God, I can't wait to graduate from my school and get away from everybody! College has really taught me who REAL friends are. LOL!

Do single people ever commit after being single for so long?
I have been single forever for years my last boyfriend may have been dureing high school or somthing...i'm 24 now ...i love the single life, and i enjoy doing things on my own, and dating occasionaly!!! Most of my freinds are still single too!! But i somtimes fear that my single habbits will impair my judgments when Mr. Right comes along..or even worse that i may scare him away with my distant and independent attitude....? The last guy i considered dating long term had serious issues with my "single friends both male and female and kept stressing that i'd have to leave them behind if i ever wanted somthing real" is this true?
Do single people ever commit after being single for so long?
I was single for years, only dating casually. I had a lot of great friends, and was perfectly happy. Then BOOM, a summer fling changed into lasting love. Three years later, we are still together. Did being happy single make me more picky? Probably. But do you want to take someone just because you are afraid to be alone? And an independent attitude can scare off some guys- the ones who expect you to be dependent on them for everything. And quite frankly, anyone who expects you to give up your friends when you start dating them is someone to avoid.
Stay single, enjoy your life. When the right guy comes along, he will love you for who you are!
Reply:I'm actually worried about all of that too! My last girlfriend was senior year of high school, im now a senior in college, about to turn 23, and I'm pretty sure all of my relationship skills have died from lack of use.
But you shouldn't ever leave behind friends for a relationship, especially if the only reason is they are single. Nothing wrong with that at all, that was a problem that one guy had. Most guys won't have a problem with it at all.
Reply:I think it is somewhat true i have a male friend who has been single for the past like 5 yrs and he feels the same way..he is a great guy,good job,nice house,very independent since being single,but very much has now gotten used to his single life and enjoys coming and going as he pleases..now dont get me wrong he dates and i'm sure has sex but he is just not interested in anything long term..he says being single has made him very,very picky..and scares alot of women off..he does have alot to offer but over time somehow finds things wrong with women he is dating and it doesnt turn serious.

Dating divorced single parents?
it's tough enough out there in the dating world but I've come to a tough conclusion about dating single parents and who to stay away from. Single parents come in all flavors. However not all are equal. The single mother who was walked out on by her husband is a good person to date. they have morals and really didn't want the relationship to end but had no choice but to be a single parent. What i have a problem with are the single parents who were grown adults and had unprotected sex and just wanted a baby or really don't care that the baby's father isn't in the picture or just decided that they were not the happiest in their marriage and went looking for the grass is greener. The single fathers who had an affair and left their marriage you should stay away from as well. I think that's why it's so hard to trust a single parent dating. you don't know what their motives are or if they're ok or just careless. agree or disagree?
Dating divorced single parents?
WTF, you left off the one where your wife was the office Ho.
Reply:You can actually make this 'distinction' far less circumstantial by determining a single factor...Does the person still have feelings for the ex? If they do, you'll have issues. If they dont, then how they arrived at 'single' doesnt really matter.
My oldest was from a teen romance and my two younger from my marriage. I dont keep candles lit for either father but we are cordial and they are very involved with the kids, but romantically...nothing. Im sure their wives appreciate it too....not having the psycho 'baby momma' thing to deal with.
Reply:Stay away from people you don't like, why is it necessary to sort people into these categories for your judging pleasure? You have a lot of outdated gender-based preconceptions and stereotypes, but you have plenty of company, so I'm sure you'll mean someone as narrow-minded and holier-than-thou as yourself soon. Just keep riding that high-horse around!
Reply:I think the one thing you fail to point out is that people can change with time. So the the circumstances under which the person had kids, got divorced, etc may not be all that important even as little as a year or 2 later.
My boyfriend is recently divorced with 2 young children. One day his wife announced she was filing for divorce. We're still not entirely sure why. Great guy, absolutely wonderful with his kids, zero reason for me to worry.
His ex-wife, one the other hand, always wants to drop the kids off earlier or later than the agreed upon time. She throws a fit if she has to pick them up after school instead of from their dad's house even though the "official" arrangement as far as the court knows if that he doesn't get to see them at all during the week. If she wants to switch nights one weekend or have him watch the kids for an extended period of time she lies about where she's going and who she'll be with. The list goes on. I wouldn't necessarily warn people away from her because she's divorced with 2 kids, but I would tell them to be a little more cautious given the way she handles her parental duties.
It's not always the circumstances you have to watch out for...you have to consider how the person deals with them.
Reply:This is ridiculous. Can we say judgmental? I am a single mother of 2 boys. I left my marriage after 15 years. Who are you to tell me whether my reasons were good enough? Get some life experience and get back to me. You couldn't walk in my shoes for 10 minutes without having a meltdown. That I guarantee.
Reply:I'm a single Mum. I left my marriage after 26 years. My two older children are independent and my youngest is nine years old. It screws me up in a way because I haven't always got a babysitter, I am not loaded financially and therefore can't go out painting the town red. But you know what? I don't even want to. I think 50 times before bringing someone home, it takes ages for me to be confident before I introduce any guy to my island of tranquility... its sacred. That also can put guys off. They think I am over protective, but there isn't such a word when you have a young child. Stability is foremost. So it may or may never happen but the same for those dating single parents.. we are sometimes in the same predicament as to who is dating us.

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family, I had 4 fathers(@ different times) with my birthfather leaving befor I was born.
I married twice. The second time produced 2 children. He's an alcouhlic. The relationship became verbaly and mentally abusive. The children and I went to a shelter, it took me 4 years to get a divorce. I have a very strong religous belief about marrage. During those 4 years I NEVER considered dating. 3 years have passed since then. I am waiting for my 16(youngest) to grad H/S.
Then I can spend time on that pursuit.
Why? Because my children had only one parent who stuck and I cannot work and support them while I tried to have another relationship. Why? I was there as a child. My mother thought that having a man in the house(@ whatever the cost) was important. My time is presious and I don't want to waste the time I could have with my children on a person who might not be there or worse yet, have a deep dark adjenda. If you need clarification, relationships take time and money, both of which I have little. My time with my children is short, they both will become adults shortly and fly the nest. I can wait.
As a parent, it sucks at times! I have no one to really share with, such as a spouse. There is a certain intamacy(not sex) and trust that one can rely on as a married partner, that I don't have. Hey burdns are easier on 2 than 1.
I can come up with a few okay single things, but in truth, I would rather be married.
P.S. apparently my spell check is not checking. Sorry

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family, I had 4 fathers(@ different times) with my birthfather leaving befor I was born.
I married twice. The second time produced 2 children. He's an alcouhlic. The relationship became verbaly and mentally abusive. The children and I went to a shelter, it took me 4 years to get a divorce. I have a very strong religous belief about marrage. During those 4 years I NEVER considered dating. 3 years have passed since then. I am waiting for my 16(youngest) to grad H/S.
Then I can spend time on that pursuit.
Why? Because my children had only one parent who stuck and I cannot work and support them while I tried to have another relationship. Why? I was there as a child. My mother thought that having a man in the house(@ whatever the cost) was important. My time is presious and I don't want to waste the time I could have with my children on a person who might not be there or worse yet, have a deep dark adjenda. If you need clarification, relationships take time and money, both of which I have little. My time with my children is short, they both will become adults shortly and fly the nest. I can wait.
As a parent, it sucks at times! I have no one to really share with, such as a spouse. There is a certain intamacy(not sex) and trust that one can rely on as a married partner, that I don't have. Hey burdns are easier on 2 than 1.
I can come up with a few okay single things, but in truth, I would rather be married.
P.S. apparently my spell check is not checking. Sorry

Single Parents only please...both male and female for a sociology project?
I am taking a sociology class where I need to interview 7 single male parents and 7 single female parents. If you could please answer these questions honestly so I can write my paper that would be great! Ofcourse everyone will be anonymous! But I do need 7 of both men and women that are single parents for a total of 14 people.
1. What are the 5 most difficult problems that you face as a single parent?
2. What are the 5 achievements that you are most proud of as a single parent?
3. What 3 ways could society/goverment assist you in fulfilling your obligations as a single parent?
Thank you so much, this will be a great help!!!
Single Parents only please...both male and female for a sociology project?
1. The 5 most difficult problems I face as a single mom are the following:
~social stigma and adult relationships - I struggle with feelings of isolation and alienation every day.
~task overload - I am a mother, but I am also a student, an intern, and an employee. I also feel a strong family and community responsibility, so spend a great deal of time and energy particularly with my grandmothers and at my daughter's school. I run ragged because I feel responsible for everything yet have little support myself. Sometimes I forget that I am human, that I can't, nor do I need to, do it all, all the time.
~staying strong and providing for the emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs of my daughter. Rarely, but occasionally, I experience a little break-down of sorts. I recognize that my daughter is at the threshold of adolescence and has some intense and immediate needs, but sometimes I am absolutely "fried" due to my schedule and my own lack of support and assistance, and I find myself unable to meet her needs. I may respond to her in a short-tempered way that is not reflective of what is actually in my heart. I am always mindful that I am the only one accountable to her on all levels, and I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of that responsibility and the influence I have on her. I often feel guilty about what my schedule is doing to her. I can't wait to finish this semester, so I can drop all the school and internship responsibilities and focus only on mothering and working.
~budgeting - single parenting requires hard work and creative budgeting. If I think too much about this one, I'll get really depressed, so I'll leave it at that.
~child care - finding affordable, trustworthy caretakers for my daughter has been a challenge since she was born. I solved that problem for her first 5 years by getting certified and becoming a child care and preschool teacher. She was often in my classroom, so basically, I got paid (not much) and still managed to avoid someone else raising her. As she's grown, though, it's become more difficult to patchwork her care during my hectic schedule, to get to know and trust her friends' parents and accept incongruencies in family values if, for instance, she was to go home from school with one of them.
2. I am so proud of my daughter. She is brilliant, insightful, hilarious, thoughtful, and is stunningly beautiful. I can't take all the credit, but I have worked so hard enriching her environment, and in light of our scarce resources, she is an absolute miracle! She excels in school, is part of the Gifted %26amp; Talented program, plays the clarinet, writes the most wonderful poems, stories, and reports. She has earned the Presidential Fitness Award 2 years in a row (and probably will this year, too), and has set school records for pull-ups and the flexed-arm hang. Not to mention she runs a fast mile! She's just amazing! She's good with small children and animals, and cares about the environment. The only thing this girl doesn't do is keep a clean room. ;-) Honestly, though, that is easily forgivable when I think of all she does and the light she emits.
I am hesitant to say it, but I'd really like to be proud of myself. Like I've said, I have worked so hard to balance home, work, and school so that I could achieve my goals of being a caring mother, available and accessible to my child at all times, of earning my BSW (and eventually my MSW), of earning a position in which I can do more good work for our community, and of moving us from a small apartment to a house. Now, I have not achieved all of those goals yet, but I am so close I can taste it. Honestly, I'm frustrated that I'm not there yet, but I feel like I ought to be proud for being where I am. I've sacrificed a lot along the way, in terms of school and higher-earning jobs because our family comes first. In the end, I believe that's what matters - that I was able to meet nearly all of my daughter's needs as they arose, rather than treating her like a nuisance, an accessory, or an afterthought.
3. First, society could let go of the stereotypes about single mothers and children raised by single mothers. I am still surprised sometimes by the assumptions people make about single parents and their children - like we're all lazy and on welfare and our children are all, or will become, delinquents. I also think child care is a significant barrier for many parents, not just single ones. Quality care is a commodity, really hard to find and even harder to afford, especially for our youngest (and most vulnerable) children. Along those lines, public education is in need of some major reform. Between budgeting crises and faculty/staff shortcomings, it's a wonder our schools generate any positive outcomes at all! For the most part, our society and this country's leadership is horribly short-sighted and has its priorities way out-of-whack. While I recognize the importance of national security, the only way the U.S. will blaze a trail successfully into the future is through education and health. Sadly, those are two of the most dysfunctional systems in this country.
P.S. I think it'd be wonderful if the "race to the bottom" was stopped dead in its tracks. I am so sick of hearing about U.S. workers being put out of work because labor can be purchased cheaper elsewhere in the world. This disposal and invalidation of American labor paired with the exploitation of countries south of our borders or in Asia make me absolutely sick to my stomach. US companies must realize that the boost their bottom line sees as a result of exporting labor may help them and their shareholders, but it really hurts us as a nation. I suppose we'll learn that lesson too late, too.
Reply:1) not enough quality time with kids. money. playing both "bad cop-good cop. no sharing of responsibilities. cant think of a 5th.
2) all 4 have turned out with manners, morals, compassion and are self confident , self sufficient and honest human beings.
3) stay off my butt when i say no thankyou to foodstamps, healthcare, nosey do-gooder social workers who tell me how to raise my children before they have any of their own.
assist me by not assisting me.
Reply:1. Being stereotyped as never been married when no one knows my situation and why I am a single parent; Being financially unstable; Finding childcare while I work; Unable to obtain support; just doing everything on my own.
2. I am able to let my child know anything is possible; encourage and show my child never to give up and to strive for perfection; when in doubt prove others wrong; believe in yourself because only you can make the person you want to be; be consistent and never give up.
3. provide more after school programs/activities for single parent children, support groups, health care
Reply:Top five problems:
Quality day care so I can go to work and earn enough to survive without child support from the father. My son is only 4 yrs. old so he has day care and half a day of early childhood school.
Work schedule conflicts with needs of my child. Nobody to play back up when the father isn't active in the child's life. I have two jobs.
When my child is ill and can't attend school, I alone must give up my sick leave and personal days which are limited: so I have to debate each time if I have enough days left in my contract to stay home and be with my child. If father was helping we could split days and not exhaust my contract allowances.
Discipline is hard when you are an only parent. You get tired of being the "bad guy" and not having someone else share the responsibilities.
If I have a "bad day" and don't feel like doing all the tasks associated with parenthood ( i.e. going to the playground, running back and forth to school and day care, etc. ) I feel guilty. I want to be a good parent buy I get tired and overwhelmed some times and I hate to think of my child suffering or going without because of this. I don't even date right now because I don't want to take the time away from him. I have such little free time.
Proud achievements:
I do it without financial help from anyone. I work hard and I earn every dollar I have. I feel self sufficient and empowered by my ability to care for myself and my child.
I can take personal pride in his achievements because I am the main source of his knowledge and develop his character. I count on his school to enforce this.
My son is healthy and happy and I do my best to keep it that way.
I am proud to have someone who thinks I am the greatest. He loves me and I never have to doubt that. We never can trust why adult behave the way they do, but a child is still innocent and can give love in return without odd motives.
When he laughs or does something great, I get to acknowledge it first hand and share in his joy.
Help from society/government:
I don't think the government should do anything particular other than provide the best public education possible. I don't think people should be parents if they require the government to finance the deal. If a woman can't afford to raise a child, she should practice birth control and not produce them. Young women often find themselve pregnant and continue to get pregnant when they can't raise their children without financial aide, I don't get this!
I think society needs to understand that women tend to be the primary care giver when a family breaks apart. My husband and I divorced when our son was only 1 year old. More flexibility at work and corporate sponsored/on the job site daycare would be nice.
I do think the state government should be as proactive as possible and work closely with the Federal Gov't to track down dead beat dads and get more father to support their children financially. I'm lucky because I manage my finances well and get by without the child support, but other women aren't as lucky and raising children can be very expensive.
Reply:1. What are the 5 most difficult problems that you face as a single parent?
1. The dedication of time to the young person I was raising.
2. Being available to respond and be there when needed.
3. Being able to interprete and respond correctly for the most positive outcome in most situations.
4. Succeeding in the transferrence of knowledge that transcends into that person learning and succeeding also.
5. Realizing how my behavior effects my little one and focusing the love into that person.
2. What are the 5 achievements that you are most proud of as a single parent?
1. Have the most neetest and loved and beautiful child ever.
2. Realize how much I am love and cared for by that child now an adult.
3. Reuniting the family, father, mother and daughter after a devastating separation due to war and other related violence.
4. Watch my child win the science award knowing that I was behind and influencial in the transferrence of the proper attitudes that made it posible.
5. Managing to pre-educate and maintain ahead a struggling young person in the face of tipification ethics that would have managed to turn that young person into a slug crawling on the ground so slow but, up to pace with the others in her class.
3. What 3 ways could society/goverment assist you in fulfilling your obligations as a single parent?
1. Actually the three ways are not up to society or government in that I consider them to already be doing the most they can to insure and assist me with the obligations I have chosen to participate with.
2. I can think of no more than what they are already doing and perhaps maybe possibly help me mainting a responsible and effective control over reality.
3. There is so much the government can help but since I think they are already doing so it is up to me to carry the ball to the goal.

Dating a single mother?
question for the single mothers? Recently i started dating again. there are a lot of single moms out there. I'm looking for a respectable woman that is just decent. Problem is every single mom i go out with wants to have sex like right away and then that's it! we don't go out anymore it's like she said thanks for satisfying my needs and then goes back to raising her kids. i feel said for these women and it's turning me off to single moms. it's really sad. do most single mothers act like this? my ex even acts like this. she's now a single mom, by her own doing, and is screwing guys left and right....so i've heard. It's really sad i think. I'm all for a good time...but that was like college not as an adult. to all you decent single moms out there...keep your legs shut because you're peers are ruining it for you! that's why a lot of men won't take single moms seriously. what do you all think?
Dating a single mother?
I'm a single Mom. I have the opposite problem. The guys I meet want sex and that's it. They don't want to try to date. I have a hard time try to find the one that want to grow old together. I'm not saying I need to be married. Dating in itself sucks! LOL
Reply:I was a single mom. I must say the behavior you are describing I never lived. Maybe you should actually get to know the character of these moms before you decide to take one out.
Reply:umm i guess, im not a single mom
Reply:I can only speak for myself... I am a single mom and I have turned men down. Do I want to? Yes, absolutely - it has been a while. But if it isn't right and it doesn't feel right, then why put yourself in a situation that you will regret.
Also, I don't think it is just single moms; I think a lot of women now are plowing their oats, so to speak. If you have not been in dating land for a while, then all of it is new, expecially since the rules change so often. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Reply:I used to be a single mom...I was never that way and I knew many people that also were single moms and were not like that. I believe it is called the fear of committment....they do not wanna get hurt again so they keep it just like you said...It is very sad.
Reply:i think thats stupid..people automatically think bad things about single moms, or guys think they can just get in our pants easy. what about the nasty girls who dress so trashy....i live in a small town so theres alot of them. and its so gross.

Reply:I can only speak for myself... I am a single mom and I have turned men down. Do I want to? Yes, absolutely - it has been a while. But if it isn't right and it doesn't feel right, then why put yourself in a situation that you will regret.
Also, I don't think it is just single moms; I think a lot of women now are plowing their oats, so to speak. If you have not been in dating land for a while, then all of it is new, expecially since the rules change so often. I hope you find what you are looking for.
Reply:I used to be a single mom...I was never that way and I knew many people that also were single moms and were not like that. I believe it is called the fear of committment....they do not wanna get hurt again so they keep it just like you said...It is very sad.
Reply:i think thats stupid..people automatically think bad things about single moms, or guys think they can just get in our pants easy. what about the nasty girls who dress so trashy....i live in a small town so theres alot of them. and its so gross.
Singles: do you enjoy being single?? or are you miserable(read on)???
i am not miserable just because im single!!! i think its cool being single. i can look at as many guys as i want(but i dont have s*x with them LOL--im still a virgin). why do so many people think that just because im single that im miserable?? that is so not true. being single gives me more time to look for thr "right" man. i am still looking :). but can i be so miserble for being single??? i am 17 and i think finishing school is more important than dating!!! i will date eventually, when MY time comes!
Singles: do you enjoy being single?? or are you miserable(read on)???
17 yo, you have not even started to live life,, you are in the first quarter,, esp if you live to be 80 yo,, enjoy it while you are young is a great saying, travel,, go see the world and enjoy,, save your money and take trips every year before settling down with a guy,, I am single at 46, and I love it,, I have always loved being single, seems when I married, then I had money problems, life problems, I had someone else to worry about besides just ME%26lt;,,
Reply:Being single has its up and downs but school is bigger than having relationship dude
Reply:no reason to be miserable when your single. When you found someone that is right and you dont like being single then you know that there's something and you're completely right about school being more important. Keep on having fun :-P
Reply:people think what they want to think. if were in a relationship, then they would think you were miserable.
continue to do what is important to you and when the time comes; you will know.
Reply:If you are 17 years old, you are not really single yet. Technically yes, but by that definition so is a 5 year old. You need to get past the average age of marriage for a woman to be having the discussion you are. Otherwise you really don't know what you are talking about since you haven't lived it yet.
Try this again at the age of say...28.
Reply:School is important, and 17 is young, you've a long time ahead of you yet. i enjoyed being single when I was, I had fun and was not beholden to anyone. Make the most of it because once you are in a relationship you have to consider the other person as well as your self.
Reply:The reason you aren't miserable is because you are a virgin. Once you get sex, you won't want to be forced to be without it. If being single is TRULY your choice, meaning you can have a relationship and have suitors interested in you but you choose not to date, then great. But if you are single because you have no suitors and haven't found the "one" yet that's another story. Still, not having ever had sex and not knowing what it feels like to miss that (and when I say sex I mean the intimacy that comes along with it) you can't really understand how it feels to be alone.
Reply:AT 17 ITS BETTER TO BE SINGLE BUT I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS 24 AND MISERABLE. I GUESS ITS BECAUSE SHE IS NOT IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WELL SHE IS NOT EVEN DATING AND ALL OUR FRIENDS INCLUDING ME ARE IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP, ENGAGED OR MARRIED SO WHEN WE GO OUT ON GROUP DATES SHE REFUSES TO GO EVEN IF WE FIND HER A DATE BUT THEN MY OLDER SIS IS 27 SINGLE AND LOVING IT SHE IS IN NO RUSH.

Reply:Give or take a year or two of development in the emotional, physical and mental areas, since the age of around 12 or 13, you have spent just some 60 months into your life 'learning' ~ about yourself in relation to life around you and to the world at large.
You actually know very little of this world and of the complexities that go about producing it and all the interactions that go to make up life and the relationships between human beings that make 'life' run.
So, you are wise to not fall into the trap of youth who either think, or behave as if 'they know it all' and exude both the indifference and arrogance that seem to have to accompany this mode, and where 'style is everything' and 'content is nothing.'
There is the much used term of 'being on track' which is used to report on the life, the career and the personal lives of people ~ which is really a simplistic throwaway phrase used because it sounds good, whereas, it's rubbish.
Life does not have 'a track,' beyond the general expectations of what we can generally EXPECT in the matter of the average 'human ageing process.' But even these do NOT always run to our expectations.
So, ignore what the expectations of others are of you ~ you were not born to satisfy their expectations ~ and continue as you are.
You're doing OK, kid.

Single mom working need extra they cant get it. butsingle welfare can. some set on there butt. live better si?
Why single working mom will not get extra help.It alway a to much of income. Single working mom just can make it sometime. Some single mom lose there home because of extra things come up. I givemy to single working mom. Ithink our goverment need to stepin and give the single working a special LAW are BILL. Special in SouthCarolina nothing here to help the BEAUTIFUL single working mom in South Carolina.Do you hear my cry in our world of world. Thank world for read sad but care and praying soul.
Single mom working need extra they cant get it. butsingle welfare can. some set on there butt. live better si?
that's why there are so many single people ON welfare. when they tried on their own they were turned away when they asked for help, so they get on welfare and suddenly they are eligible for everything! I've seen it so much. then they get treated so bad for BEING on welfare! That's just the way things are...I really don't see much change...
Reply:I think you are FOR helping the Single Mom and Dad, right?
If i understand correctly
And there IS help out there.......Do you come from a different country that there is NO help? We in America have so many programs to help it isnt funny, but you have to do something...they dont know where you are!! YOU have to look for help....its there
Reply:I think we need to stop focusing on ONE group of people to help because EVERYONE is struggling in this economy right now. If I got half the benefits that single parents get, I probably would be able to make it also. Food stamps, welfare, free insurance, discounted or free childcare, tax breaks….I know it’d help me a huge amount. And what really pisses me off is that those that are on welfare, food stamps, government assistance, they don’t do a DAMN thing while the others are actually out there working, trying to make ends meet. I know not ALL single parents fall into that category, but the ones in my neck of the woods do. Why not start rewarding people for getting off their butts and actually trying to work like the rest of us. We all need to get up and work for a living, not by choice, because we have to provide for our families. So maybe giving a little incentive to those that do is a better way to go. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

For Single Women and Men (ages 25 thru 30+ or up) -- Survey?
Hello, I'm doing this survey to write a research paper about singlehood or single people(ages 25 thru 30+ or up) , and I'd really appreciate your help. If you have suggestions pls. let me know.
Before you answer the questions, please carefully read the definition of singlehood and categories of single people below:
In the Dictionary, singlehood means "the status or state of being unmarried."
In my textbook singlehood is defined "not living with an intimate partner."
Categories of single people (did I include everything?):
Never-married without kids
Never-married with (a) kid(s) - either living with kids Or
Never-married, and has (a) kid(s) but doesn't live with them
Divorced with kids
Divorced without kids
Survey questions:
Under what category of single people are you?(see above)
Male or female?
What's your age?
What's your ethnicity?
Why do you think you are single? Your reasons for being single?
How do you feel %26amp; what do you think about being single?

u had it all olready...

Single by choice because I haven't met the "right" man
I'm fine with being single as long as it isn't for the rest of my life...there are definitely times where it would be easier not to be single and there are times that I feel excluded by/jealous of married friends, but I honestly feel that my time just hasn't come yet and I don't want to force it
Reply:Category- Never married, without kids
Gender- Female
Age- 26
Ethnicity- African-American
Reasons for being single- I just want to be.
How do if feel about being single- I love being single! My job is quite demanding, i dont have to worry about neglecting anyone. I also prefer not having to check-in, or tell someone my daily plans. I do what i want when i want! I love it.
Reply:Well, I wud say youre doing a real good and interesting survey there.
My answers:
I am from Mumbai,India.
1) Category : Never married without kids.
2) Male.
3) 26.
4) Asian.
5) As mentioned by you above, I am duely single as per the dictionary and textbook meaning (I never had a intimate relationship). Reason for being single maybe, becoz I m still waiting for that special one. Also I need to establish myself and complete my responsibilities towards my parents first and only then start a new relationship.
6) I think its fantastic to be single, coz with lesser responsibilities and expectaations, you have more freedom to explore life to the full, be adventurous, and wild. Though, I am not the "run-away-from-responsibilites" kind, yet this precious time of singlehood lets you explore your true self and is very helpful to develop character.
7) I like being single, yet I crave for a relationship too. Being able to share yourself (in every way) with someone special makes you feel complete. So liking singlehood is kinda 50-50 thingy.
8) Advantages of singlehood at my age:
I have a better understanding of world and relationships at my age. Hence I prove a good companion. Thus being single helps me a lot while interacting with women, coz the general apprehension is not there and I get to know about them better in a cordial relationship. Singlehood gives me freedom which is only controlled by my character and cultural values.
Disadvantages of singlehood at my age:
Clock seems to be ticking away (lol).... Too much pressure by everyone to settle down in life.... Gripping feeling of emptyness.
9) Other than women noticing me more often than my married friends, I've never felt discriminated.(lol)
10) Sometimes, when I notice them, enjoying the treasures of a married life, like kids, family etc. Also socially they function as a seperate unit, unlike we bachelors.
11) Well, everyone does feel like getting married and kids etc. But theres always this fear and apprehension towards accepting someone in your life. Whether the person will understand your ways of life and perception and vice versa. Whether you're strong enough (psychologically) to take up responsibilities of a married life. I mean theres no tests to understand this except for getting married to someone and seeing for yourself. Yes!.. I am always thinking about meeting the right woman.. I wish someone who thinks similar to me , would just come and say hi! and I wont let her go forever ... (I guess m getting too romantic for a survey ..Lol)
But on a bitter end, sometimes we all know that its not always that you find the right person. And we might end up living and adjusting with the "okay" person. Thats life..!!
Thats why I like singlehood, coz the wait is more merrier than the results...Lol
I hope my answers would be useful to you.
Best of luck

Why do I think I'm single: Cause women don't like nice guys we are only good enough to be the "Good Friend"
My reason for beeing single: Tired of playing games to date. No one can accept you for you, you have to be the fantasy guy they think they wantand when you don't live up to that your history.
how do I feel about being single:
It SUCKS being alone all the time makes you wonder if life is worth it. You go out with friends and they all have some with them and your alone, and no matter how good the friends you feel like an outsider.
being discrimmated against: Yes when you work and they need people to stay your the first one they say has to stay. You don't have a family to go home to so you can stay. People also think there is something wrong with you caus you can't find someone.

I messed up, reasons-alcohol
I feel horrible, and learning from my mistakes, I think it's the worst feeling,
GOD put women on earth,
and I screwed up.
I hate being single.
The advantage is she can't nag me, the disadvantage is, I'm not getting any younger.
I never felt discriminated, in fact, some guys say I'm lucky I'm not married, I know, and sometimes it's true, most of the time, I'm just a lonely guy.
I'm always looking for that someone special, when you see the sparks, so far nothing. About kids, who knows, I have 2, if she wants to have kids together, I'm all for it.
I'm always looking, but haven't seen that special something I'm looking for.
As for you, I hope my input helped you out. Good Luck!

Male

Caucasian
I messed up, reasons-alcohol
I feel horrible, and learning from my mistakes, I think it's the worst feeling,
GOD put women on earth,
and I screwed up.
I hate being single.
The advantage is she can't nag me, the disadvantage is, I'm not getting any younger.
I never felt discriminated, in fact, some guys say I'm lucky I'm not married, I know, and sometimes it's true, most of the time, I'm just a lonely guy.
I'm always looking for that someone special, when you see the sparks, so far nothing. About kids, who knows, I have 2, if she wants to have kids together, I'm all for it.
I'm always looking, but haven't seen that special something I'm looking for.
As for you, I hope my input helped you out. Good Luck!
