Single woman, a blessing in disguise!!

Does 'single woman' concern only those who are not betrothed or wedded or divorced or widowed?

We are in mid-21st century and where feminism has laid its roots and is at a risk of encompassing the universe, the old idea is unfitting. You celebrate your 23rd birthday and out of the closet are aunts, uncles waiting to marry you off.

Why is there a notion that single women cannot lead their lives happily? In fact without the other gender interference, life is worth living more!! Ask any married woman and you get your answers...aren't we self-sufficient? Can't we protect ourselves? Why is it that our parents can't support us, psychologically?

Independence is the mantra. To be 'Single yet happy' is possible in today's society.
Marriage-free is the uppermost lively thought that entertains women's minds. Women are successful in their career, are bold and beautiful and often fail to find men with whom they can think of spending rest of their lives.

Talking about the backlash of single women, urban society has never been kind to them. It is shocking to learn how difficult it is to rent a room or an apartment if one is a single woman. Some women are bound to lie, create spouses who don't exist, simply to live a life of personal, female integrity and independence. But, life literally becomes hell when you tend to receive unwanted male attention; it may be blank calls, stares or whispered asides that create amorphous fears.

Society is clearly not ready to see women who want to live alone as a remarkable urban phenomenon. We still expect at least a nuclear family, if not an entire platoon of friends and relatives, to legitimise a woman's life and aspirations. In that sense, freedom as single women remains compromised and the cities that give us economic independence have not yet learned to accept the wholeness of our complex lives.

Another thing, which haunts single women and are keeping them off marriage is that men still prefer women who are not too brainy and intelligent. Studies show that men are put-off by women's cleverness and so; the brainy women did not want to get married. Possibly they could not find men clever enough to satisfy them!! In an age where women are at par with men in every field, it is rather a depressing thought. We have seen marriages fail when women earn more and are successful in their own right.

But in an age where professional women can afford life's necessities, why do they still find it so important to find a man? Finding and searching for Mr. Right in today's commodity-driven world is probably one of the toughest deals single women will ever face.
