Girls Living Like Bachelors!

Doing It Like A Dude!

We often hear tales of single men living the bachelor life, but the latest statistics show that not only are more women turning to the bachelor lifestyle, but they seem to be doing it better! A recent study by the University of Edinburgh details that the number of people aged between 25 and 44 who choose to live alone is increasing, but just what effect does this have on us?

The research revealed big differences between how men and women were affected, with men being more likely to have financial difficulties, poor health and suffer from social problems and isolation than their female counterparts. The research discovered that women who choose to live alone are usually educated to a higher level and tend to have a professional career. In comparison, over a third of men in the same situation were in lower paid jobs.

Not all of those surveyed were single, half of the women and 35% of the men were in long term relationships, but had chosen to live apart from their partners. It was found that those living the so called bachelor life did have a strong social networks of friends, something which is very important because living alone can impact mental health, especially when teamed with long working hours, limited income and other health concerns. Women are better equipped to deal with these issues than men, meaning us girls actually make better bachelors than the boys do!

Anything they can do – we can do better!
