11 Things SINGLE GIRLS Have That Taken Girls Don’t

Need a reminder of why being unattached rocks? Here, have 11.

- By Annie Daly

1

The ability to buy an impromptu solo plane ticket to Goa seven minutes

before the online deal expires because, no, you don’t have to use all your vacation days sitting at home,

playing Halo.

2

An impressive panties collection. Just one of the perks of having a sex life

that’s all about first impression­s.

3.

A glorious fridge full of Merlot, lowfat cheese, and home-made pickle. Ah, the joys of not having to stock your place with ‘dude food’.

4.

A heavy rotation of free-drinking establishm­ents. The cute guys standing across the bar do not send across on-thehouse cocktails to chicks

with boyfriends.

5

The right to throw down ` 10,000 for

your best bud’s epic birthday weekend without any guilt whatsoever.

Um, saving for your man’s Valentine’s present... huh? A clean bar of soap in the shower at all times. And by clean, we mean

totally man hair-free.

7

Epic job-interview skills. When you’re answering first-date questions all the freakin’ time, you pretty much

have your spiel down to a science.

8

The freedom to leave your iPhone on the coffee table without worrying that

(1) your ex will decide to call right when your boyfriend walks by and (2) you will then have to explain why his special ringtone is still Why I Love

You by Jay-Z and Kanye.

9

A wardrobe that’s obviously skewed towards Saturday night outfits (versus Sunday afternoon fleece tracksuits).

10

The uncanny ability to tell your friend that the guy sitting two booths over is a 26-year-old lawyer, prefers Mad Men Season 2 to Season 3, and wants to meet a girl as fly as Nicki Minaj. What? You’ve

perfected a science!

11

You don’t have to stay home because your boyfriend, who is travelling for work abroad, said he’d definitely call ‘between 6pm and 10pm’ while the rest of your single friends hit the cool

new watering hole in town.
