Successfully Single

How does it feel to be a successful single person? You possess the singular traits of fun, fearlessness and heightened hotness. You are more likely to engage in future think. Who am I going to have dinner with next week? Whom can I call for drinks tonight? Who is free to join me for a last minute trip to the islands?

You tend to connect with the world-at-large: being best friends with people, parties and places rather than relying on a partner or family for support. Forget the boring, home alone over 40 singles stereotype; you are fully engaged in developing your own social community. You are hanging out at the gym, the flicks, the restaurants, and clicking online, trading spontaneity and freedom for the contentment of coupling.

And here are a dozen must-haves that sensational singles possess:

The Outfit

You know the clothing combination that brings out the color in your eyes, enhances your curves, and shows off your assets—the one that makes you feel too good to resist!

A Shoulder to Cry On

Everyone gets lonely. Remember the old joke that goes, “A woman needs three men to fulfill her: One to take care of her. One to be good to her. And the other one to talk to about the other two.”

Karaoke Song

If you cannot sing, be sure to choose a tune that does not require perfect pitch.

A Clean Joke

A Dirty Joke

Savings

You gotta have backup.

Scented Candles

Great way to refresh and relax you and your home, and hey, everyone looks better by candlelight.

Feel Good Video/DVD

Something to pop in on a rainy day, the day the cat dies, the day you lose your job or have a fight with your best friend.

Talent

You should be adding something to the party – why else would friends and strangers have you over? Bring good wine, know how to juggle, add witty conversation.

Personality

Self-explanatory, but it can be cultivated. Add extra points for charisma.

A Great Smile

It is free and provides instant attraction!

The Cocktail

It sparks conversation … and wouldn’t you rather look confident ordering a cool drink rather than clueless while fumbling with the drink menu?
