Pros of being single:
If something goes wrong in my life, I'm not dragging anyone else down into whatever my mess at the time might be.
I can make as many bathroom jokes as I want, and laugh at as many sophomoric jokes I want to without getting elbowed in the ribs or kicked in the shin.
I can let my living space get messy and deal with it on my own terms and on within my own time frame, although honestly it gets old fast - I prefer clean.
I guess those are kind of silver linings.
