Going It Alone. Why Some Women Choose The Single Life

10 Reasons why some women choose the single life

1. Career. Some women choose to follow a career path rather than being involved in a relationship or family life. Women today have much more freedom to do this than their ancestors and there isn’t the pressure for them to marry for security that there was in the past. The advantages of single status in career women being that they do not have the distractions and potential emotional upsets that inevitably come with a relationship.
2. Illness. A woman who suffers from mental or physical illness may view herself as undesirable and therefore avoid the dating game. Something such as chronic depression or terminal illness can keep a woman single because she does not want to burden her partner. Women with contagious, life threatening diseases such as HIV and AIDS may also choose to be single for practical reasons.
3. Bad experience. This can be anything from experiencing an unhappy relationship between her parents, to becoming involved in physical or mental abuse form the opposite sex.
4. Commitment phobia. Both sexes can be commitment phobic, despite men getting most of the bad press! If it is not due to insecurity then it may simply be that the woman enjoys the chase, enjoys a life of promiscuity and does not want to settle down.
5. Some women have a low sex drive and/or are just not interested in men.
