Top 3 Traits of An Awesome Single – Casual Dating Manifesto
As you may be able to tell from our 50+ weeks of testiMOANials, OBC is pretty damn successful at finding people hot hook ups, casual relationships, and sometimes even marriage. We’re obviously super proud and excited that people are falling in l-o-v-e, even if that wasn’t the main intention of the site, but now it’s time to get back to our roots. Today we thought we’d start share another tip for those who aren’t looking to get into relationships, but who want to stay single and have fun without the complications of a monogamous relationship. Oftentimes, this is tough – people are expected to meet, fall in love, and get married… and we’re okay with that! We just think people should enjoy the single life until they are absolutely positive they’re ready to settle down (since we just learned that uncertainty often leads to divorce!).
First off, you should probably start right over here to find out if you’re the type that should stay single. Yes? You are? Awesome. Let’s begin with the basics: the top 3 traits of an awesome single!
1. They’re healthy – inside and out!
It’s pretty well known that people who get into relationships have a tendency to “let themselves go.” They have steady sex, they’re not going out to impress anyone, and let’s be honest, sitting on the couch watching Top Chef reruns doesn’t exactly necessitate a trim figure. However, when you’re living the single life, you want to keep a healthy, fit lifestyle. Having a gym membership isn’t required, there are many body-weight workouts that, done a few times a week, will keep you in shape. Of course, this is assuming that your diet doesn’t consist of Hot Cheetos and Budweiser. A healthy diet of whole grains, lean meats, and tons of vegetables will fuel you for your workouts and keep you from busting out of your button up at the club, which in the immortal words of Paris Hilton, is NOT HOT. Oh, and if you do end up at a gym? Talk about eye candy!
2. They’re adventurous!
Going to the same 3 clubs every weekend is not only gonna get boring, but will keep your hook up options extremely limited. Try out new locales in different parts of your town frequently. A concert of an up-and-coming band, for example, will likely have a plethora of other fun singles, and won’t require a 45-minute wait and $12 drinks. Explore other options in your town, and you could find yourself exploring other singles in no time. (Other ideas: local cafes, parks, beaches, art galleries, book stores, etc. etc. etc) If you don’t have time to troll your town for singles, we know of a little place you can search for local singles in your spare time (cough cough OnlineBootyCall.com cough cough)
3. They stay close with friends and family
It’s not surprising to see a good friend get into a relationship and then disappear into thin air. When you’re single, though, you have time to spend time with family, meet up with old pals you haven’t seen recently, and (my favorite) visit friends who have moved to other cities. There’s nothing more fun than visiting a new town and having a weekend fling with a friend-of-a-friend. Plus, keeping in touch with many friends means they’ll keep you in mind when they meet a sexy single who’s looking to party.
Each of these things, separately, will keep you in the single game and ensure you meet a variety of other single folks out there. Together, though, they are the 3 tenants of a single person who is happy, healthy, and rarely bored: which is the sexy trifecta. Instead of sitting around the house eating ice cream for breakfast, you’ll be out and about, and fun fact: out and about is where the other singles are at ;).
