Single Ladies

Okay, I've been on the dating scene for many years now.  I have come across men and women who just enjoy being single and feel that getting in a relationship would only take away their independence.  That's funny because back in the day women weren't independent at all and actually neither were men.  Just like Martin needed Coretta, Bill needed Hillary, Oprah needed Stedman, we gotta give in sooner or later right.  Guys say women are single because they expect too much like their shit don't stink.  Girls say our standards aren't high enough and we keep getting hurt because we keep settling for what we don't really want.  Well I ask you, Why do you think there are so many single women, is it because of the ratio or are relationships just out of style?
