I'd rather be single than settle

18 de agosto de 2026 · 37 min

Notas do episódio

Why are so many women staying single longer? Maybe because for the first time, we actually can.

This week, we’re going down the rabbit hole on why women are getting married later, how financial independence completely changed the dating market, the male loneliness epidemic, and why our parents’ generation cannot seem to comprehend that being single in your 30s is not a medical emergency. Because when you’ve already built a life you love, a man isn’t competing with other men — he’s competing with your peace.

We’re getting into the question every single woman has secretly asked herself: Are my standards too high, or have I just stopped accepting the bare minimum? Plus, Emma read your stories about marriage, kids, timelines and the pressure to “settle down” — and you guys made her bawl like a baby.

Maybe women aren’t behind on marriage. Maybe marriage just isn’t allowed to be ahead of our happiness anymore.
