Being single certainly has its ups and downs. With 92 million singles over the age of 18 living in the United States, you'd think being solo has enough perks that people don't want to give it up. But, when 210SA asked San Antonio singles what they liked and didn't like about being unmarried and unattached, there were plenty of answers for both the pros and cons of single life. Here's a sampling of what S.A. singles had to say.

PROS

When you're single, it's OK to be selfish.

You don't have to share your space, your stuff or your time.

Being single means variety. µ.You can date someone special, hook up with a stranger or just stay in.

No behavior is bad behavior when you're alone. µ.You can leave a stack of dishes in the sink, pile up dirty clothes on the floor or leave a bathroom a mess and no one will yell at you about it.

CONS

Being single can get lonely, especially on holidays or other gift-giving occasions.

Your married friends who sometimes wish they were single insist on setting you up with every “great guy” or “nice girl” they know.

There is no one around to share the housework or other domestic chores.

When it comes to taking out the trash or paying bills, you're on your own.
