Single People
More and more, America is being populated by people who either do not want to get married and start a family-oriented household, who cannot afford to marry, who defer marriage into their thirties or later in order to concentrate on their careers, or who are divorced. The term "singles" of course cuts across all social and economic classes and all races and ethnic groups, yet, in itself, it is an identifiable lifestyle. Singles meet each other in singles bars or vacation at singles resorts. The use of personal advertisements for singles became quite respectable in the 1970s and 80s, and enjoyed a major boom with the coming of electronic matchmaking on the World Wide Web. There are even apartment complexes that cater to the needs of singles rather than families. Next Section: Gay People The American People: Chapter Home
