Spending whole life single is better choise Pro

Spending a lifetime as a single individual is a personal choice that has its own unique advantages. Here are some of the reasons why staying single might be a better choice for some people:

  1. Freedom to Focus on Personal Goals and Interests: When a person is single, they have more time and resources to devote to their own personal goals and interests. They can focus on their career, pursue their passions, and invest time in their own self-improvement without having to consider the needs or desires of a partner. This freedom can help individuals lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
  2. Emotional Stability: Relationships, while fulfilling and enriching, can also be emotionally taxing. The ups and downs of a relationship, and the emotional turmoil that can come with breakups or conflicts, can be a source of stress and anxiety. By staying single, an individual is free from these emotional challenges, leading to a more stable and balanced emotional state.
  3. Autonomy and Independence: One of the key benefits of staying single is the ability to maintain autonomy and independence in one's life. Individuals who choose to remain single are not beholden to anyone else, and have the freedom to make their own decisions and live life on their own terms. This level of independence can be incredibly empowering, and can lead to a greater sense of personal control and autonomy.
  4. No Responsibility for Someone Else's Happiness: Being in a relationship often comes with a level of responsibility for the happiness of one's partner. This can be a heavy burden to bear, and can lead to feelings of guilt, frustration, or resentment. By staying single, individuals are not responsible for anyone else's happiness, and can focus on their own well-being and satisfaction.
  5. Opportunity for Personal Growth and Development: Staying single can provide an opportunity for personal growth and development. Without the distractions and responsibilities of a relationship, individuals can focus on their own self-improvement and self-discovery. They can work on developing new skills, pursuing their passions, and improving their mental and physical well-being.
  6. Financial Benefits: Staying single can have financial benefits as well. When a person is single, they have more control over their finances, and are not responsible for supporting anyone else. This can lead to greater financial stability and independence, as well as the ability to save more money and build wealth over time. Additionally, without the need to share expenses with a partner, individuals have more money available to pursue their own interests and goals.
  7. Flexibility in Relationships: When a person is single, they have the flexibility to form relationships on their own terms. They can choose to pursue casual relationships, close friendships, or no relationships at all. This level of control over one's own relationships can lead to a greater sense of empowerment and satisfaction.
  8. Freedom to Pursue Unconventional Lifestyle Choices: For individuals who desire to live a more unconventional lifestyle, staying single can provide the freedom and flexibility to do so. Without the responsibilities of a relationship, a person can travel, live abroad, or pursue their own goals without having to consider the impact on others.
  9. Ability to Prioritize One's Own Needs: In a relationship, individuals often have to compromise and put the needs of their partner before their own. By staying single, individuals have the opportunity to prioritize their own needs and desires. They can focus on their own well-being and satisfaction, and make decisions that are in line with their own values and priorities.
  10. No Fear of Losing Close Ones: When a person is in a relationship, they run the risk of losing their partner due to death, conflict, or breakup. This fear of loss can be emotionally taxing and lead to feelings of anxiety and vulnerability. By staying single, individuals are not exposed to this fear and are free from the emotional toll it can take.


In conclusion, choosing to spend a lifetime as a single individual is a personal choice that can offer a range of benefits, including emotional stability, financial independence, the opportunity for personal growth, and the freedom to prioritize one's own needs. While relationships can bring joy and fulfillment, staying single can provide the independence and autonomy necessary for a fulfilling life. It is important to consider one's own values, needs, and priorities when making the decision about whether to stay single or enter into a relationship. Ultimately, the choice should be based on what will bring happiness, satisfaction, and a sense of purpose to an individual's life. No one lifestyle choice is better than another, as what works best for one person may not work for another. The most important thing is to make an informed decision based on what will bring the most joy and fulfillment to one's own unique circumstances.

It isn't the better choice.

To begin with, my opponent assumes if you are single, that you are not responsible for anyone else's happiness.

^ It has been proven that one of the most fulfilling experiences is making others happy. This includes many beyond one's spouse.

Staying single not only still leaves you responsible for others' happiness such as your neighbours, boss, colleagues, clients, family etc but Pro wants you to not experience making others happy, which then leaves you unhappy.

If all stay single, either humans will go extinct or we will have many divorced and/or single parent households.

Imagine the foster care system even more burdened than it already is combined with everyone becoming antinatalist celibate losers.

We would have doomed that entire culture that embraced Pro's ethos to initial societal extinction and then literal extinction.
