There are more singles in the U.S. now more than ever before. As of 2023, according to the Census, fifty-one percent of U.S. women ages 18-40 were single.  According to Blackdemographics.com there's 21.1 million black women in the U.S. and forty-nine percent of those women were never married. The feminist movement that emerged back in the 1960s was the beginning of women demanding equality and gaining independence. Feminist found freedom and became educated with advanced degrees. Along with excelling in their career, they forgot their personal lives and what really matters. Older single women between the ages fifty years old and sixty years old are coming out more and speaking on putting their careers ahead of finding love and building a family. Big names like Vivica A. Fox, who is age sixty, says her biggest regret is not having a child and starting a family. Now at the age of sixty Fox told Hoda&Jenna on their talk show that she was willing to lower her standards just to find a suitable partner. Claudia Jordan, who is fifty-two years old, says at her age it's not a lot of "supply on the shelves", because all of the good guys are already married. Claudia gave the advice to not postpone your happiness waiting and thinking that a woman has all this time because she's younger. As she sat down with The Shaderoom, she also explains how some women feel like they have to be superwoman to everyone and that could slow down a woman's love life. As of 2019 according to National Medicine, only nine percent of women were marrying between the ages forty and fifty overall. Don't wait too late and have to pick over the leftovers or not having the chance at all.
