Hi Chiilit,
Yes, you correctly identified that there are indeed a few positives to being a no-mans-land bloke. In fact if I look around the office at work mostly what I see is blokes who have some combination (usually all) of the following:
1) Oppressively sized mortgage forcing them to live right on the edge of financial viability = stress.
2) The large house is required because they have several kids that consume vast swathes of time and money (whilst simultaneously destroying the house)
3) A wife that is forever calling them at work with the kind of queries that would cause me personally to be quite rude, and in fact they usually are (after they've put the phone down).
4) A commute that takes several hours, eating even more into what little time and money of their own they had left.
I could go on but I'll leave it there before I ramp up into full scale rant mode. Don't get me started!
Cheers
