Are you kidding. I LOVE being alone. Guess what I am doing on Friday night. Can't figure it out? The answer is: whatever I want!

With some wife or girlfriend badgering me to spend time at home -- she decies what I do with my Friday night which friends i can see...No. I loose essential freedoms.

And then you are tied to that person your whole life.

Hardly seems like a winning deal.

It’s a strange thing to assume that an entire, loosely defined type of relationship is bound to end up in tragedy or abuse. Keep an open heart !

I would say it's the opposite of loosely defined. Marriage is one of the most rigid and structured relationship contracts that exists.

Dating people on Tinder are loosely defined relationships ships.
