For those who can relate, why is it fun to be single in your 30s?

Would love to hear about your answers. Some of them will be included in an article!

Happy sharing!

I know myself more, I know what I want and dont want in myself and in a relationship. As a young girl in your 20's you are filled with youth and vibrancy but you dont really know who you are yet hence 20 something girls tend to be insecure,competitive maybe even miserable, I know I was. This knowing of myself helps me skip the unnecessary relationships or situations I would have been open to in my 20's. I am happier with myself and more content and even love talking to younger girls and guiding them through their own aches and pains and telling them in your 30's it'll all get better.

Oh and some people I know that got married too young at 20 ended up separated in their 30's my point being sometimes we just dont really know who we truly are in our 20's.

by this time kasi, we already have many working experiences in life hence have a good work and able to apply easier if not yet permanent. So can enjoy our salary for our family and ourselves alone, and try many things in life, and enjoy life without any restriction from our bf / gf. Can hang out to anyone or to the people we want with such maturity and stability in life. I'm 31 years old and single and happy to have "me time" for awhile. I'll be in relationship later, probably after 2 years, after I enjoy my "Me Time."

You have more money and you know yourself better. You're more comfortable with yourself and you value your time more so you actually enjoy life more. In your 20s, there's this feeling of restlessness and you panic a little because you feel like there's some sort of deadline that you have to meet. Then you turn 30 and you realize, all of that is complete BS. You realize that you are still quite young and you don't need to settle for anything less than for what you truly want, be it marriage, kids or career.

tama mga sinabi ng sisses dito. nung mid 20s parang immature pa. wala pang alam sa mundo ng lovelife hahah. then nagkaron ng heartaches madaming lesson learned. then yung importance ng true love. importance ng work. naging God fearing din ako. na hindi naman nahahanap ang pagmamahal sa tao lang eh. nahahanap din ito kay God. and that teached me a lesson. the hard way. but Im thankful na nilagay ako ni Lord sa situation na yun, kung hindi baka hanggang ngayon immature pa ko. if we dont make mistakes we wont grow.

naging mas matatag ako. and Im proud to say na ready na ko mag kalovelife ulit. with all the hardships na napagdaanan ko. kaya ko na ulit.

I feel like I know myself better and I know what I want in my next relationship. I was suppose to get married at last year but my fiance and I broke up a year before our wedding. Ive been single for almost 2 years now and I feel like my (self-imposed) pressure to get married or to even to meet and date other people has died down compared to when I was in my 20s. I don?t feel like rushing things plus I?m more secured now.

Yeah its fun. You have the resources and experience. You get to explore some parts of your personality na magugulat ka ngbago na pala.. kaso kakainis lahat KUYA tawag saken.

Most likely, you're more stable in your 30s. You possibly reached at least a middle-management level and you have more money. This is the time you can enjoy the perks of working and the fruits of your labor. You have time and energy.

Your parents are also not so strict about you anymore, about your decisions in life. You're more matured and confident. You know what you want. You already realize that there's no shortcut in life, and that it's more enjoyable to work on the things you love.

Overall, you have more options -- in travel, to live independently. Without being judged, without being told that you're still young. There's no pressure to prove yourself anymore, or maybe you just don't care anymore.

In love -- you meet more matured people. You're more secured. Playtime is over. Either you're looking for a more serious relationship or you have no plans in settling down soon.

I think the only pressure here is that the people around you will constantly ask when are you getting married, or when will you have kids. Or malapit ng mawala sa kalendaryo ang edad mo. But the truth is... it's not an issue anymore. People are becoming more open na madaming single even when they reach their 30s.

Everything is just a matter of choice. Just live wisely without inconveniencing others.
