Why It’s Better Not To Have A Valentine
You're likelier to be thinner, happier, and drama-free--if you're man-free.

4. We can still fit into our “skinny” jeans.
Ever been a teeny bit jealous of how great a bride looks? Don’t be, because chances are she’ll be gaining more weight than you in the next few years. A recent Cornell University study that single women gain 15 pounds between their late teens and early 20s, while married women gain 24.
5. We’re better in bed….
even if we’re the only ones in it. Australian researchers found that 55 percent of single women could achieve orgasm every time they masturbated, while only 25 percent of women with a current partner could. And a British study found that married women were significantly more likely to report sexual problems than single women.
If you’ve read this far, here’s a bonus reason it’s better to be single of Valentine’s Day–just for you. (Think of it as the hidden track on your favorite album.)
6. There are record numbers of single men out there.
The best news a single woman can get on Valentine’s Day: Forty-five percent of men in America are unmarried. With so many single men out there, meeting the guy of your dreams is really just a 
numbers game. He’s out there, you just haven’t met him yet. So why not get dressed up and meet up with some other single friends this Valentine’s Day, and check out a few more. One of these nights, you’re bound to meet Mr. Right.

The regular-person equivalent of Oscar Night, but instead of Best Picture or Best Supporting Actress, prizes are given for Best Achievement in the Acquisition of a Leading Man. But what if you don’t have a new pet “project” to promote or arm candy to show off? Better stay home rather than remind everyone that you couldn’t land t […]
