Rachel's entry on singlehood

Are all singles unhappy? Discuss

In our modern era, being single is considered the new "in" thing as we are allowed to transcend and break all boundaries regarding singlehood and marriage. Technically speaking, singles may feel the need to prove to all who believe in marriage that singlehood might not be a bad thing as many singles have shown that they are able to excel both in their career and personal life. Furthermore, being single also means more freedom to date as well as no restrictions when persuing a new relationship. There is no right or wrong in dating multiple partners, hence singles may actually love this new and hip lifestyle change as they need not conform to the traditional norms of marriage.

Morever, being single also has its privilages. There are many clubs and pubs having promotions to attract singletons to enjoy themselves and wind down. Singles can also apply for matchmaking agencies where you can meet many different types of the opposite gender who come from all walks of life. Being married restricts oneself from enjoying these privilages, hence the popular option to remain single. in addition, singles are now so independent and are able to support themselves, therefore seeing no need to depend on a spouse to bring back the dough for the family. Therefore, I believe that singletons remain single and on the market because of many perks that singlehood can offer them. Hence, who dares to say that singles are unhappy?
