60% of women in the US ages 18-29 are single, 45% of women between the ages of 25-44 will be single by 2030, and a whopping 57% of women are not looking for a relationship at all. Some “girls just wanna have fun!” Let’s take a look at the fun in dating for fun! I live for a low-pressure, no pressure date.
