Recent studies show a significant cultural shift among US women who increasingly value singlehood over marriage. A 2023 Pew Research survey found that nearly half of respondents consider marriage unimportant for a fulfilling life, with a drop in women seeking serious relationships—34% in 2022 compared to 38% in 2019. The trend is reaffirmed by census data revealing that 54% of women aged 18-40 identify as single. This newfound confidence in being single is celebrated on social media, with many women discussing the joys of independence and freedom from societal expectations.
"I don't think we give enough credit to single women who love being single because there's still the whole childless cat lady troupe out there."
"You can enjoy life alone, you don't need somebody to bear witness to your joy to make it exist."
