Single individuals have a lot of disadvantages as compared to their married or individuals in relationships. In everything they do and carry out, it is a solo affair, while for the relationship guys it is a duo thing.

Imagine you have done your shopping and have loaded the shopping basket with your single sachets. You start you way to the checkout, and you have to be the one to do the simultaneous loading and unloading. You load the goods on to the conveyor very fast while on the other end, the zealous assistant is loading and piling things together quicker than the process of unloading. The assistant seems to spit on your single living lifestyle as the process of packing is over and you are holding the line as you wait to clear things from the conveyor belt. Your slowness has made the couple behind you to fidget and curse your ineptitude. For the single folk, it has never come clearer than this.

Ok. Shopping is essentially a way to pastime for two individuals. Shopping and any activity done by two can also take time to complete. But for the single person, this is more serious, since you are the one to pack the shopping bags into your car and unload them once you arrive home and it becomes an absolute nightmare. Again, preparing the food and consuming is a solo affair, and you make use of sizeable units so that they can last you through out the week. The other trouble with this is that you are also liable to gaining weight and elongating your singlehood. Living single means that you are conscious in your eating conscience that you cannot control your eating, for instance consumption of junky mess, and you have to live with unfitness.

Many couples eat healthy, generally. Their meals are a joint effort and a careful duo that has some thought put across, with an aspect of obvious social coupling involved in the food preparation process in the kitchen. There is some serious thought put by the partner who is preparing the meal since it is not a single person’s meal; the other partner is taken into account. It is awful to be single and in a kitchen, more so when you decide to try to follow the directions of a cooking show recipe. There is no one to appreciate the meal.

What is happening even in the food market as reflected in the supermarkets is that single people are now being catered for. Manufacturers of food in large scale never go for a short term fad. That is the reason why the ever increasing single group of people is catered for. But the bitter fact is that it is a constant reminder that we are as single as yesterday. In fact, in some of the packages designed for singles in the supermarket, the price is quite high, just to remind someone entering or re-entering this circle that being single is nowadays a very expensive affair.
