About being single
from Hold My Baguette · host Aude
I’ve been thinking a lot about what “being single” actually means today. In this episode, I talk about why single is still weirdly associated with failure (especially for women), and how social media and rom-coms convinced us that love is the final level of adulthood. This is an episode about learning to see singlehood as a phase of life… not a problem to solve.youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiRS7P5b2S3diAJlGNQXu3ginstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holdmybaguettepodcast/#tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@holdmybaguettepodcast?_r=1&_t=zg-92b5xtzuqxksubstack: https://holdmybaguette.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipshttps://linktr.ee/holdmybaguettesources:https://emmacamilleri.substack.com/p/vogue-says-boyfriends-are-embarrassing?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Fbeing%2520single&utm_medium=reader2https://theconversation.com/why-being-single-might-feel-empowering-as-a-woman-in-your-20s-but-not-your-30s-269220https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1oppsv9/lets_admit_it_more_women_than_men_are_perfectly/https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/single-black-woman-30s-datinghttps://psyche.co/ideas/is-being-single-a-happier-experience-for-women-or-menhttps://seldakoydemir.substack.com/p/singlehood-gender-and-the-storieshttps://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/en/soziologie/studium/master/downloads/Collection-of-Master-Theses/Singlehood-in-Europe-Understanding-the-Single-Experience-on-Personal-and-Social-Level.pdfhttps://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/juteau-characteristics-of-single-adults-US-2021-fp-22-30.htmlhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-single/202006/single-in-america-is-it-worse-for-black-or-white-peoplehttps://www.forbes.com/health/dating/dating-statistics/https://amiethedatingcoach.com/data-reveals-these-surprising-2025-dating-trends/
