Are single women miserable? NO! That idea is outdated. There are many single women in modern society; they represent a new kind of "postmodern hedonism," leading vibrant and colorful lives, and have become a fashionable "single aristocrat." Women enjoy being single, and naturally, they have their reasons.
New Era Singles Data: Being Single is Becoming More Fashionable
●In 2017, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a record number of unmarried adults. More than 110 million U.S. residents were divorced, widowed, or single, representing more than 45% of the U.S. population aged 18 and over. People are also marrying later, with the median age of first marriage rising to 29.5 years for men and 27.4 years for women.
● Last summer, Canadian media widely reported that, in Canadian history, the number of people living alone exceeded the number of people living in any other way. Living alone is becoming increasingly popular.
● A related survey in China also shows that there are as many as 480 million female consumers in China, of which 21% are single women, and their ages are between 20 and 45.
● According to a survey by the United Nations Health Organization, the number of single people worldwide has tripled in the past 10 years: one-third of all households worldwide consist of only one person, and in Paris, this figure reaches half.

Women have a right to be single: Stop looking at them with pity.
1. I'd rather stay single than meet someone I like.
Who wants to settle for a marriage of convenience? Such a marriage is destined to be low-quality and unhappy. Therefore, single women have firm reasons for remaining single; they would rather stay single than not meet someone they like. Single women can live wonderful lives too.
2. To enjoy the freedom of being alone, one must be single.
After marriage, women are preoccupied with the daily grind of household chores and caring for elderly parents and children; all these琐碎事 (trivial matters) occupy a woman's entire time. If a woman is unmarried, she can do whatever she wants, free and unrestrained, busy with work, fitness, parties, and vacations—isn't that beautiful and fulfilling?
3. Dislikes having sex, prefers to remain single.
Some women are born with a fear of sex, and the thought of having sex in a relationship or marriage gives them a headache. These single women are more Platonic; they have many friends and their intellectual nourishment is enough for them, so why would they need marriage and sex to intrude into their lives?
4. Not wanting to be hurt again, remaining single.
Past hurts in marriage or relationships may have caused this single woman to lose faith in love and become unable to move on from the shadow of her previous relationship. Alternatively, this single woman may already have someone she loves, but is trapped in a fantasy relationship, consistently rejecting new romances and indulging in self-satisfaction within a virtual world.
The concept of single women has been accepted by various countries. Single women follow their hearts, have independent sources of income, and often get together with friends. Each of these women has their own wonderful life.
