The Dating Scene Is So Bad Women Are Going Celibate—Let’s Talk About It
It seems the days of hookup culture may be winding down, only to be replaced by a movement in the opposite direction. Here’s why countless women are opting to go celibate instead of partaking in yet another meaningless fling.
If there’s one thing the vast majority of young singles have in common, it’s this: They all want someone to love, someone to spend their days with, someone to laugh with, someone to dream with, someone to call theirs. It begins young for many – our early teens (or even preteens) are filled with silly, hormonal crushes that hint at deeper desires to come as we grow older and more mature. By the time college rolls around, the time for a more serious relationship comes, with many making their first foray into long-term commitment throughout their late teens and early twenties. Those who haven’t yet experienced a relationship by then often feel like they’re behind.
