Being single: A choice, a challenge, or an opportunity? 18 million single people in France… What if we stopped being passive and decided to take matters into our own hands?
Why are we still single?
Today, 44% of men and 38% of women in France are single. In an era where everything seems more accessible (dating apps, travel, social networks), how can we explain that so many people remain alone?
Deliberate choice or imposed situation?
Flourishing Personal reasons or lack of opportunities?
Independence Accepted loneliness or hidden solitude?
Let's decipher together the 3 main profiles of singleness.
1. Single by choice: a new social norm
«I am alone because I choose to be.»
Being single is no longer a tragedy or a failure. For more and more people , being single is a well-considered and deliberate decision .
Why this choice?
– Career and personal ambitions Love is not the priority right now.
– Need for independence He doesn't want to compromise on his lifestyle.
– Personal fulfillment : Travel, explore, build yourself before sharing.
– Disappointment over Taking a step back before getting involved in a relationship again.
Did you know that?
Contrary to popular belief, Women are better off being single than men in recent years. They often perceive it as an opportunity for personal growth.
Personal testimony:
«I remember a friend telling me, »If I’m not married with children by 30, I’ll have failed at life‘… I smiled, it was my birthday and I was turning 31!’
THE hazard ?
To complement each other in a comfortable environment where one indefinitely postpones the possibility of building together .
To miss out on a beautiful story by fear of losing one's freedom.
The challenge: Finding a balance between independence and openness to love.
2. Single by default: no time, no space!
«I’d love to be in a relationship, but… I don’t have the time.»
The observation:
Between work, projects, family, and leisure, Where can I find the time for a relationship?
We never stop, we run everywhere and We no longer even see the opportunities around us.
Routine absorbs us and Love becomes secondary… until the moment when loneliness sets in.
Concrete example:
«I did a lot of running and I came across many joggers… But we never stop to talk. Who dares interrupt someone in the middle of an activity? It struck me later: we're so caught up in our own little worlds that we NO LONGER SEE the opportunities for connection.»
THE hazard ?
Bring back love See you later, always.
Getting used to living alone out of habit.
To wake up one day and say to yourself, "So, what do I do now?"«
The challenge: To realize that we need to CREATE opportunities for encounters.
3. Single out of spite: too many past hurts?
«I’m better off alone than in bad company… but for how long?»

A problem?
