I could not agree more that single people (especially single women!!!) are treated differently.

Also, when a single woman has/gets a partner, but is not married, it's still much the same as being totally single.

I'm divorced and formerly had a husband/stepkids, then was totally single, and now have a BF, so I really recognize the difference in attitudes between the different stages.
