Very Smart Brothas' Damon Young reflects on half a year of being single and says it's not bad, but it's not all the beer commercials make it out to be.
The most βinterestingβ of these βinterestingβ thoughts? Being a single man is kind of overrated β¦
Suggested Reading
1. It can be very lonely
As a person who wanted to be single, is a natural introvert, and generally enjoys doing things by himself, Iβm surprised by how, for lack of a better term, βnoticeableβ the solitude and loneliness of singledom can be. Even when seeing multiple people and/or having tons of friends, being single means that you areβ¦single, by yourself, and there may be times when you want to have someone around but there will be no one that you want to be around readily available to be around.
2. You have to wear condoms. And, wearing condoms sucks
If youβre one of the 137 people left on Earth who always has protected sex β even if in a long-term, monogamous relationship β just skip this section and move on to #3. Also, Iβve left a plate of gotdamn sugar cookies at the end of this post as a reward for your duty. Please eat them with a gotdamn smile.
