I was just saying to someone that I think now would be the golden age for being single. So long as you're mildly successful and attractive it would be fun, at least I would think so. The hardest part was always meeting people but with the advent of online dating this is alleviated.

Maybe I'm naive, but you youngsters don't know how hard it used to be. It involved making a move...IN PERSON. Hard to believe, I know.

You could be single and have romantic flings.

EDIT: To be clear, being young and ANYTHING sort of sucks. Being my age and being single would be fucking easy though. Age = confidence, money and ability. Youth has none of those things.
