For ever and a day, we\u2019ve been socialised to believe that true happiness comes when it\u2019s shared\u2026 with a romantic partner. All romantic comedies and fairytale storybooks say so, so it has to be true, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But all jokes aside, our bodies are even built in such a way to support and encourage finding a mate. We emit pheromones, a chemical that attracts people to each other, and a woman\u2019s body prepares itself for <\/span>childbirth<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when it comes to evolution, men have the capacity to experience \u2018mate guarding,\u2019 which is when he uses tactics to prevent his partner from <\/span>infidelity<\/span>. Basically, all signs point to courtship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Men need not open their feathers and <\/span>engage in jealous tactics to find their one true mate<\/span>. We\u2019re living in a culture that accepts dating around, <\/span>being single<\/span>, or having a partner in any capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, statistics don\u2019t lie! And between 1970 and 2010, the number of single people almost doubled!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Downside of Being Afraid to Be Single<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, before we tell you why being single means that you actually already have it all, here\u2019s a quick cheat sheet of all the reasons why it isn\u2019t at all beneficial to fear being alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
