The Single Guy's Guide on How to Survive the Holidays
By Ron Steiner
Let's face it - when you're single and the holidays are coming, people usually take pity on you. People have this perception that the holidays are tragic for those who do not have lovers or families of their own to celebrate with. But that's all there is to it - perception. The truth is, you can have a great holiday experience even without a lover. Here are some upsides to being single during the holidays:
You can go to all the holiday parties in town. If you're single, that usually means that you don't have strict plans for the holidays. In other words, you're working on a flexible schedule. You can spend this time party-hopping and going to the hippest clubs in your area. You might even meet someone special along the way. And if you don't, dancing in a room full of wild, pretty girls doesn't sound so bad.
You can spend money buying gifts for yourself rather than for a significant other. Unlike the unlucky guys out there who spend hundreds of dollars on gifts for their wives or girlfriends, you have the power to spend money on anything you want. Whether it's a new DVD, collectibles, clothes, or gadgets - you're entitled to get gifts for yourself. Alternatively, you can also put the money in savings and brag to your friends about how big your bank account is while they're still paying for that jewelry they bought for their girlfriends.
You can spend the holidays doing guy stuff. This means watching action flicks, playing your favorite sport, or drowning yourself in videogames all day. You also don't have to eat all the frou-frou gourmet stuff that chicks usually like. You can grab yourself a pizza, some burgers, and some booze - not exactly the holiday diet you'll be having if you had a girlfriend.
You can stand under the mistletoe and kiss as many women as you want. If you had a girlfriend, this kind of thing wouldn't be possible (well, it would, but it has its consequences).
Spend the holidays with other single friends. This can be a good time for you to catch up with your other single friends. You can go out together as a group or just stay in and plan a lot of fun stuff to keep yourselves occupied. Just because you're single, it doesn't mean that you have to be lonely.
