Ten Disadvantages of Being a Bachelor

Attention women: Make sure your husband/live-in boyfriend reads this!

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number one: no beautiful woman to talk to day in and day out

Married men have their beautiful wives (if the man married her, he must think she's beautiful) to keep them company.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number two: no one to keep his spending in check

Married men have their wives to remind them they don't need a fancy, expensive sports car to get from point A to point B.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number three: nobody to keep him from living like a pig

Bachelors have no one to help keep the house clean or remind him to take a shower and change his clothes when needed. (Married men--remember when you lived alone how much you disliked cleaning your home. Your wife probably doesn't like doing it either, so help her out.)

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number four: very few home cooked meals

Many bachelors are good in the kitchen, but face it, cooking meals everyday gets old. Also, a wife will see that her husband eats those times when he just doesn't want to deal with fixing anything to eat and would normally go without eating. (And aren't you a bit tired of that "throw it in the microwave" meal and tipping the waitress down at the corner greasy spoon? Another note to married men--your wives, in many cases, would like a hand in the kitchen--maybe not with cooking, but at least with the dishes.)

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number five: no one to watch TV with

A bachelor has no one to watch TV with or to have a conversation about a show or movie his has just watched.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number six: no one to take him to the doctor

If a bachelor gets hurt, many times he doesn't realize how badly hurt he is. A wife can see he gets to the doctor for proper care. Also, she will make sure he keeps his doctor appointments.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number seven: no one to see his yard doesn't turn into a weed patch

A bachelor has no one to remind him to mow and take care of the lawn. Also, men, admitted it. It brightens your home to have pretty flowers growing about that aren't weeds.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number eight: no one to snuggle up to at night

A bachelor doesn't have a beautiful woman to snuggle up with nearly every night. A bachelor can pick up a woman at a bar, but he never knows what he is getting himself into.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number nine: no children to watch grow up

A married man can have children to enjoy with his wife. Plus, if his wife becomes pregnant, he doesn't have to hide from her and claim he's not the father.

Disadvantage of being a bachelor number ten: not having civilized parties

A bachelor has no one to keep his party guests in line and to make sure rowdy people aren't invited (or at least keep them to a minimum).

Final bonus

It is proven married men live longer than bachelors. So if you're a bachelor, find the woman of your dreams (if you haven't already) and get married!
