The Boy Sober Trend Among Women

A significant trend is emerging among American women aged 18 to 40, with many choosing to remain single and forgoing marriage altogether, a movement referred to as 'boy sober.' Statistics show that 51% of women in this age bracket are single, a rise from 42% in 2000, while only 52% now view marriage as crucial for a fulfilling life, down from 70% four years ago. Contributing factors to this trend include women achieving greater financial independence, disparities in educational attainment between genders, and diverging political views among young men and women. Furthermore, frustrations with dating apps, which many women report as ineffective, have led them to embrace being single rather than engaging in what they perceive as futile swiping.
