NO MAN’S LAND
The pros of being single:

  • You get the whole bed to yourself
  • You can do what you please without having to ask someone for their choice in the matter
  • You don’t have to put up with someone else’s quirks and idiosyncrasies; your own are enough
  • You can date whoever catches your fancy on a particular day

The cons:

  • You’re always looking for love
  • You’re always looking for sex
  • You’re lonely sometimes
  • You end up with blind dates at couple parties

ONE-MAN SHOW
The pros of being in a committed relationship:

  • There’s always someone around to lift the luggage
  • There’s always someone around for a cuddle or sex
  • There’s someone to talk to when you are restlessly awake at 2 am, undecided about that new job offer
  • There’s someone to fight with when you’ve had a bad day at work

The cons:

  • There’s someone expecting a cup of tea in the morning, and for you to make it
  • There’s socks on the floor
  • There’s snoring at night
  • There’s temper tantrums at home if he’s had a bad day at work

ONE, TWO, MANY
The pros of having more than one man in your life:

  • You have one man for the money, and another for sex
  • You have an option to choose from when you seek a cuddle versus when you need a quickie
  • There’s never a dull moment on Whatsapp
  • You’re always horny

The cons:

  • The heart and mind are constantly in conflict
  • You spend more time planning your next illicit rendezvous than your big Powerpoint presentation at work
  • Lust and time-drought maketh a dangerous driver
  • You can’t decide whether you want to go on your ‘alone holiday’ alone or with your paramour
