Why single the new smart? Because it's 2011. And despite what the thousands of Facebook posts, magazines and blogs suggest, being in a relationship, having children, owning property and a whole slew of other "adult" things doesn't happen to everyone by a magical age.
It's okay to be 30, a woman and single. It means we're making decisions that buy us a new dress or an extra margarita at happy hour. It means we're more concerned about booking our next vacation than we are about interviewing babysitters. Dare we admit to be a little more worried about the deadline at work than we are about picking china for our registry. And it certainly means we are still having fun trying to figure it all out.
But smart and single doesn't come in one type of package. We're all single for different reasons, we're all navigating the dating world in very different cities with different budgets and goals. We all have careers that are taking us in new directions. We've had our hearts gutted, worlds turned upside down, trust broken. We're living in small apartments in the middle of big cities, houses purchased with our own money, or struggling to find reasonable rent all alone. No matter the path we took that found us here, we're all making the smart decision to stay away from settling.
So, welcome to Single is the New Smart. A small destination in the big wide world of social media that hopes to paint a true picture of 30-something single life. It won't always be pretty and it probably won't always be nice. But it will be four perspectives on real roads that are bound to have some trails, tribulations and hopefully a few good stories.
The basics? We're starting our 30s, we're all living in different cities and we're bound together by our love of Fantasy Football. Now please, stick around and get to know us a little bit more. You won't be disappointed, we promise.
