They haven't been very successful at dating and this woman is the first to show any interest

By taking your time playing the dating game, you can increase your odds of beating the divorce statistics.

2- You can focus on your career  你可以专注于你的事业。
By staying single you can enjoy the opportunity of building your career to your own satisfaction without draining off the tons of energy a permanent relationship entails. You remain free to put in long hours, work on the weekends or do whatever else you have to do to be successful. This is especially true if you're working in any kind of time-demanding field, such as medicine, law or entrepreneurship.

The upside is, once your business hits the big time and you're cranking mucho dinero , you'll have hordes of women throwing themselves at you. That being said, you probably still won't even have time to think about marriage.

3- You can do what you want, when you want随时随地，想啥就可要啥
When you're single, the world is your oyster. You can pick up and go anywhere you want, do anything you want, any time you want. No one is in the background nagging at you to do chores, go shopping, or "grow up."

You're absolutely free to hang out with your buddies, party till dawn and find plenty of time for your personal interests and hobbies. Best of all, you have the luxury of being all by yourself, if you feel like it.

4- You can enjoy a sexual smorgasbord 你可以享受各种性经历
By staying single, you're not stuck with the same sex partner for the rest of your life. The dating universe is yours to conquer. You can happily sample all the different fare at the sexual buffet, and keep your taste buds primed for the next dish being served.

What's more, you never have to wrestle with sexual boredom or lack of variety (and you'll be the envy of all your married friends).

5- You can build wealth   你可以积累财富
Staying single means not being forced into buying a 10,000-megawatt diamond ring (so your fiancée can impress her friends with the huge price tag she has set on getting her into bed) or any of the other bloodsucking financial drains that marriage entails, for that matter.

And you won't be stuck having to regularly shell out for the flowers, more jewelry and the other gifts that a wife demands (it's like paying maintenance fees on a condo).

By staying single, you're not legally or financially obligated to anyone but yourself. But once you John Hancock the dotted line on that marriage contract, she has you forever by the balls.

You can take this money (that somehow spontaneously becomes "hers" once you get married) and invest it in important things like sex-drenched singles' cruises, buying cool cars or building equity in a house.

6- You can enjoy serenity  你可以享受安宁
Being single means peace and quiet. When you don't live with a woman, you're not subjected to her never-ending mood swings and emotional storms, or her blaming you for everything that she screws up in her life.

And, of course, no fights. As long as you keep her as a casual girlfriend and not a wife, if she gets too uppity you can simply walk away, free and clear.

7- You can keep your toys 你可以有自己的爱好
When you're single, you can hang on to all your fun toys -- that classic Mustang, the speedboat, the Harley -- all of which seem to magically disappear overnight once you get married.

Your wife won't want you to have these things because they take the focus off her and she feels it's her money that she could be better spending on clothes and shoes.

8- You don't have to compromise 你不必委曲求全
Being single means you don't have to constantly find a "middle ground" -- meaning, do what she wants to do (whether you like it or not). This includes being forced to see chick flicks or suffer antique fairs and dinner with her friends. And you'd better toe the line buddy, or you'll have hell to pay and no more sex for you.
