Ah, the bachelor life. Probably the greatest period in any man’s life. A time where you can do pretty much whatever you want without worrying about the consequences. Well, OK, there’s having to deal with a killer hangover every other day, crushing financial guilt and that minor case of small red bumps that have started showing up around your bellend, but other than that it’s the most wonderful and free period in a man’s life.

Why do we ever give up the bachelor/single life? It doesn’t matter, because eventually we’re all going to have to fix up and settle down, and for the fellas this means giving up a few things.

Here are 4 of the main sacrifices men have to make before they decide to settle down for good:

4. Doing Fuck All

What’s the actual best part about being a bachelor? Being able to non-stop party whenever you feel like it? The freedom to hook up with random girls? Nah. The best part about it is those lazy Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays where you literally do absolutely NOTHING. Just put in a solid 24 hour couch session where you order takeaway and watch crap on TV all day long. Only take a break when it’s time to take a leak/dump. In fact now that I think about it that’s not a day of doing ‘fuck all’ at all, it’s a day of doing exactly what you want. Think you’re ever going to experience that kind of freedom again after settling down? No chance. Girlfriends always want to “do something”. They get “bored”. Here’s my debit card babe, go and do whatever you want. I’ll hold down the couch till you’re back.
