National Singles Day celebrates singles!
National Singles Day is a day for everyone, singles and couples alike, to recognize our single friends, family members, co-workers and fellow citizens. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 45.2% of U.S. residents age 18+ are single – that’s 110.6 million U.S. taxpayers – up 1.6 million from last year’s report. National Singles Day recognizes and acknowledges our single population and celebrates their invaluable contribution to the fabric of our daily lives.
No longer a minority, much less the lonely, downtrodden bachelors and spinsters of yore, today’s singles are vibrant, active contributors to their communities, workplaces, families and to our economy, culture and vitality as a nation.
Whether by choice or circumstance, single lifestyles are growing in acceptance and popularity. Younger generations are choosing to stay single longer, living solo or cohabitating. Some singles choose to raise children out of wedlock or simply focus on their own self-development and marry at a much later age, or not at all. National Singles Day… Read More »

IT'S COMPLICATED... Do most people prefer to be married, or not? Studies show trends, but do trends really reflect all the options? "I think what is happening now is that many people never even consider the possibility that single life is the best life for them, because, in our cultural conversations, hardly anyone ever considers that. It is not an option." – social scientist Bella DePaulo, Psychology Today #goodquestion #singlelife #marriedlife #savvysingles #singleoptions

National Singles Day shared Social Explorer's post.
Singletons? We'll forgive the term... but thought you'd like to see this cool interactive map the data gurus (numbertons?) of Social Explorer put together. It's so amazing to visualize, state-by-state and city-by-city, the demographic breakdown of U.S. residents never married, separated, widowed or divorced, age 15+. Great stuff! Happy Singles Week! #singlesweek #singlesday #savvysingles #singlelife #bythenumbers

It's National Singles Week (Sept. 17-23, 2017), official countdown to Singles Day! In fact, Singles Day would not exist were it not for the founders of Singles Week, begun in the 1980's by a small organization of singles in Ohio who then called it Unmarried and Single Americans Week. Their efforts, and those of attorney and activist, Thomas F. Coleman, were instrumental in establishing the U.S. Census Bureau's annual report on singles and single lifestyles in the U.S. No information on singles had previously existed.
From then until now so much amazing work has continued! This week we celebrate those Ohio singles, the founders of Singles Week, and all the amazing advocates, activists, researchers, authors and bloggers who work every day to carve away at outdated social mores and discriminatory practices in our communities and our courtrooms.
Here's wishing you all an awesome Singles Week and a stellar Singles Day! #SinglesWeek #SinglesDay #SingleMen #SingleWomen #SavvySingles #SinglesDay2017 #CelebrateYou #SinglePeople #SingleHappy #SingleLife #SinglesDayUSA #NationalSinglesDay

SWEET SOLITUDE: Alone - not lonely - time is good for body, mind and soul. Research by Bella DePaulo and other "...psychologists has linked solitude (in contrast with loneliness) to everything from an increased sense of freedom to higher levels of creativity and intimacy." Last July, Business Insider pulled together a treasure trove of research on the benefits of living a single life. #goodstuff #welovescience #singleperks #singlelife #savvysingles #TedX

SINGLE AT HEART? Bella DePaulo coined the term to describe people who, like her, find living single as natural as breathing and would never dream of dating or coupling up. Says Bella in a recent interview by The Irish Times, “It’s not just totally okay to be single – if this is the way you live your best life, it would be a sad thing not to do it.” Whether you're single at heart or single for now, Bella's eye-opening words are both refreshing and enlightening. #belladepaulo #singleatheart #savvysingles #singlesdayUSA

This year's U.S. Census Bureau data has arrived with some interesting developments... no surprise the overall single population has increased, while the numbers for singles 65+ are down, indicating a continuing trend of young Americans staying single longer. In addition, while the number of households maintained by unmarried men and women has increased, the number maintained by unmarried same-sex couples has decreased, possibly due to the legalization of gay marriage. For more "singles-by-the-numbers" read on... #Census2017 #SinglesDayUSA
