Friend to SingleWomenRule.com and author of the blog First Person Singular, Wendy Braitman, shared this funny and candid list, 40 Reasons to Be Single, on her site.  (It was also published in Double X, a new site for women by Slate.)

Here are a few:

Temperature in the house (and car) is exactly as you like it
Flirt away!
No one to tell you not to wear that sheer blouse
Music selection (and volume) is your call
Your good mood isn’t at risk because of someone’s bad day at the office
More time for hobbies
No reason to account for those expensive shoes you just bought
Closet space for those shoes
Deciding what movie to see, what time to see it, and where to sit
Knowing those cookies you’re looking forward to, will still be there when you want them

Read Wendy’s full list here.  Feel free to drop your own reasons in our comment box.

A few months ago, we shared some fellow bloggers who were tackling the single cyberworld.  Here’s part two of Sisters . . . and Brothers in the struggle!  You can find  them in our links, and we’ll be sharing their content right here on SingleWomenRule.com!

Singletude: A Positive Blog for Singles

Clever Elsie is a 30-something unmarried female in New York, plowing upstream with just one paddle. She started this blog to combat the treatment of singles as second-class citizens. Single-headed homes now tip the scales at 50.3% of the population, so she thinks it’s time we threw our weight around! Singletude isn’t about false positivity but about recognizing that a human life doesn’t need to be paired to have value. And that means when we DO couple up, we need to treat each other as valuable individuals, not disposable entertainment. What she writes here is an outgrowth of that philosophy…

Relationship Digest

"Relationships can really work - if we're willing to be honest about them." - http://relationship-digest.com/

Relationship Digest, as you may have already concluded from the name, is a blog about relationships. Romantic, Platonic, Family, Racial, Gay, group, Singles, self-any relationship at all. It’s a blog about questions just as much as it’s one of answers. All on topic comments are very much appreciated, and hopefully together, we can all understand relationships better! This is the whole point of Relationship-Digest.

I am not now, or ever have belonged to the relationship expert party (yes, I stole this from the McCarthy era). I am not a guru, matchmaker, relationship expert or coach of any kind. I have respect for those that are, but I’m just journeying through in hopes of understanding relationships better, and if I can pass on some information to be helpful, all the better.

So sit back and enjoy my ramblings, thoughts, concerns and information. However, it would make my life a little brighter and this blog a little more worth while if you give your input. If you do, thank you. If you don’t, then thanks for reading

First Person Singular: Notes from an unmarried life

FIRST PERSON SINGULAR is an online gathering place, resource guide (and yes, venting booth) for single women. In January, 2007 we officially tipped the scales, when our ranks swelled to more than half of all American women. Magazines are devoted to us, politicians court our votes, and realtors have made it easier for us to get home loans. That doesn’t mean a single life is always easy. It’s not. We’ve been envied, feared, vilified and pitied throughout history, and much of the time, misunderstood. Who are we, anyway? How did we get here? And what’s the best strategy to be happy ever after?

Wendy Braitman created FIRST PERSON SINGULAR after she unwittingly became an expert. WENDY BRAITMAN is a twenty-year media veteran, who began her career in San Francisco as an on-air journalist and producer in radio and television.
