What's the 21st century definition of a "single woman" and what are her challenges?

"Single" is often defined using words such as one, alone, no companion or separate. Other times it's described as pure & unmixed.

I'd like to add my own words to describe being a "single woman" - words such as free, unencumbered, uncommitted, unlimited, independant, unimpeded, autonomous and emancipated.

These all sound great, however society is often geared towards couples ... maybe our friends get a partner or get married and/or have kids and slowly drift away .... Singles are often left to feel like "left overs", even though there are plenty of us!!!

"footloosefemails" has been created as a place for single women to connect with each other and talk about issues that we face as we "fly solo" through life - the types of things that we often can't talk about with others. And hopefully along the way we'll be making new friends who can relate to everything we say!

Please note - membership is required to be approved by the moderator whenever she is next online. It goes without saying that the group is not open to men or even women seeking anything other that friendship.
