And if you\u2019re a single woman of a certain age, it can feel like that times a thousand. Gone are the days where single women feel like they need to get married in order to feel fulfilled. Yet popular culture so often portrays them as lonely, unhappy and looking for a partner. The ways single women see themselves versus how they\u2019re stereotyped in our culture are vastly different! So, what\u2019s the real story?<\/p>\n<p>A 2018 study by creative marketing agency Hill Holliday and its market research company Origin sought to answer the question, \u201cWhat do single women really want?\u201d The answers offered a real life glimpse into their top priorities. Here\u2019s a look:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The number-one priority of single women was <strong>living on their own<\/strong>. Nearly half (44 percent) said it was what mattered most to them.<\/li>\n<li>Another top priority? <strong>Establishing a career<\/strong>. About one-third of single women (34 percent) listed their career over everything else.<\/li>\n<li>The third most popular priority among single women was <strong>financial security<\/strong> with 27 percent of respondents saying it mattered most to them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The study states that, \u201con the whole, today\u2019s single women have a strong sense of self and reject the outdated notion that they\u2019re missing out on all that life has to offer.\u201d More proof? Here\u2019s a look at some of the characteristics single women most often use to describe people like them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Independent: 77%<\/li>\n<li>Confident: 54%<\/li>\n<li>Responsible: 49%<\/li>\n<li>Ambitious: 43%<\/li>\n<li>Strong-minded: 42%<\/li>\n<li>Adventurous: 32%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps as a single woman you see yourself in the characteristics listed above, but you\u2019re feeling like you could use some assistance in reaching out and grabbing all of the opportunities in front of you.
