The benefits of experiencing an affectionate and appreciative relationship involving a mutual bond between two members of opposite sexes (assuming the relationship is of a heterosexual nature) prior to the loss of said relationship renders the beneficial qualities of a lack of such a relationship negligible.

A friend of mine taught me the “doperized” (though I think Mangetout’s version is more like proper doperization - hilarious) version of the popular drinking song “Show me the way to go home”:
Show me the way to go home.
I’m tired and I want to go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it’s gone right to my head.
No matter where I roam,
Over land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song:
Show me the way to go home.
His version is fantastic to sing when stumbling back from the bar, especially if your drunken friends are harmonizing:
Indicate the way to my abode.
I am fatigued and I wish to retire.
I had a little tipple sixty minutes ago
And it’s infiltrated into my cranium.
No matter where I perambulate,
Over land or sea or undulating water,
You will always hear me crooning this melody:
Indicate the way to my habitual abode.

I knew a slightly different one:
Show me the way to my habitual abode
I’m fatigued and I want to retire.
Had an alcoholic beverage sixty minutes ago
And it went right to my cerebellum.
Wherever I may perambulate,
Over atmospheric, geologic or oceanic terrain,
you will alway find me humming this refrain,
Show me the way to my habitual abode.
