What it is about BEING SINGLE and/or LIVING ALONE that is so ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Is that actually in the Klinenberg book, or in the discussion about it?

I'm in that gender and age bracket and I can no longer even contemplate the idea of living with a partner.

What makes life painful or not is having friends to hang out with should we choose to, not having some stinking man taking up space in my flat.

i don't have to share my onion rings with anyone.

downside, there's no one to share my onion rings with.

lol

One FANTASTIC thing about being single is that when you make up your mind, you can move forward and act. No protracted discussions, compromises, sudden dramas, impasses, miscommunications, or other folderol. You decide and *bang* you're good to go.
