The Single Woman Publisher
Single women, I’m sorry, all women, take it upon themselves to diffuse a situation that needs mellowing. As a gender we’re the emotional impact absorbers, the ones who want everyone around us to be happy and comfortable at all times, regardless of how uncomfortable a situation makes us. As it pertains to being single at the holidays, I’m over it. I want those uncomfortable situations to stop happening, period, so we’re going to train bad behaviors out of people. It’ll be tough, just be patient and keep some treats in your pocket. “Thanks Sis, for asking how dating is going.
“The Single Woman’s Guide to Retirement is amotivator for single mature women to make decisions so their secondhalf of life will be the best part of life. From dating to divorce,from money to boomerang children, no subject is too small or toobig to tackle. The New Single Woman is all about this shift... [the book] is edifying for single women of a certain age and possibly inspiring to young women who are fretting that unless they marry, they are fated to die alone—and lonely.” -Jane Ganahl, San Francisco Chronicle. The Story of Single Women Is the Story of the Country The funny thing is that all these warnings, diagnoses, and panics—even the most fevered of them—aren’t wholly unwarranted.

In the last 60 days I’ve been ghosted by two men — sorry LOL, you’ve been married since ‘08, you don’t know what ghosted means. Ghosting is where you go on anywhere from one to 50 dates with a man who disappears into thin air as if you’d conjured him, until you realize he works in your building and he’s just been ignoring you because he doesn’t respect you or your feelings.

I’ve also Tinder matched with and messaged 42 men who never responded to me. I did meet an awesome guy at a bar a couple weeks ago, and we went out a few times and slept together few times before he let me know he’s in an and that I’ll never matter to him as much as his actual girlfriend. But I’m so glad you asked about this publicly because another blow to my self esteem was just what the doctor ordered. Did I answer your question?”. This is how we do it. We tell the truth.
The South Dakota Cowgirl
We don’t swallow second helpings of bad feelings served by loved ones who either don’t know any better, or think they’re doing us a favor. We stop nodding and smiling through the quagmire until either it’s over or we’re drunk. We fight back a little, and while it might hurt the first time, think of it this way: If we all do it, we’re all taking steps to help each other. We can change the way people think and speak about single women, one awkward gathering at a time.
If it gets tough, tweet #EverySingleSupport and we’ll bitch about it on the bird.
