And because we don't have kids waiting for us when we get home from work, nor can we fully enjoy the "singles" bar scene as much as our single peers, we typically need to find other ways to entertain ourselves day in and day out. And that, my friends, can prove to be one of the most exciting, boring, fun, unfulfilling, scandalous, and awkward stages in life.
