Chapter One: How Movies Can Help You Figure Out Why You're Single
Love isn’t just in the air; it is ON the air! From red roses and pink hearts plastered all over the morning news, to the slew of Rom Coms airing every two hours, IT is everywhere. But movies can also give you answers to, “Why am I single?”
Films are just scripted human nature — action and reaction. And while Hollywood flicks usually have better-looking casts and locations, the archetypes and literary devices remain the same.
School For Scoundrels
Either version of this movie goes to the extremes in the Art of Taking Advantage of People. It offers comical, yet downright lousy advice when it comes to relationships. Don’t be like these jerks.
She’s All That
DON'T BE SHALLOW. Trying to be someone you are not is quite possibly the most unattractive thing you could do. Prom Queen is overrated.
Chapter Two: How Being By Yourself Saves Cash
Being single can be pretty darn cost-effective, especially around gift-oriented holidays. It is cheaper taking yourself on a shopping spree, going to the movies alone, or doing exactly what you want.
One more thing on moola; dogs are a lot cheaper than people. Plus, barks are not the same as hurtful and judgmental words.
Chapter Three: Solo Activities For The Gents
- Skydiving: Danger! What’s better than voluntarily falling out of an airplane?
- Bungee jumping: More danger, but with ropes!
- Golf: Who's keeping score now? YOU ARE.
Chapter Four: Solo Activities For The Ladies
- Reruns of The Bachelorette: Think about it. Why was your ex-boyfriend so eager to watch?
- Day Spa: Book your stressed self a much-needed spa package.
- Hunting Deals Like a Lioness: Take advantage of small lines and clearance chocolate.
- Valentine’s Day Cards with a Vengeance: Sometimes catharsis can help untangle that ball of emotional necklaces.
Chapter Five: A Few Bonuses of Being Single
Loneliness is like thirst as you float in the sea. But small insights can be your desalination system. Look into and after yourself, single flamingo!
Oh, and remember, being alone can rock! Singles have more sleep, fun and disposable income than their married, child-bearing counterparts.
I’d be remiss in my Decals.com staff writing duties if I didn’t tell you that you should forget flowers. Your significant other wants an endless stream of custom stickers of your beautiful face. Or you could be super sweet and make your own custom candy labels. Aww.
