As a woman who has spent more time single than married or paired off, I say things aren't quite the same today as they were back in 1936, when Live Alone and Like It was first published. The New York Times seem to think the book's message is as true today as it ever was, and "sounds like it was written yesterday".

"The lonely male is an elusive creature, once he realizes he is being fished for. He is too shy or too cunning to be caught, or else, once hooked, he proves to be so unbelievably dreary that he has to be thrown back again." — "Live Alone and Like It" by Marjorie Hillis (via NYPost.com)

I'm not going to bore you with stats or stress out over looking up data, but being a single successful woman today is envied by many just like her counterpart the male bachelor. More women are choosing not to remarry when they make it out of the first one alive and well. Meanwhile men immediately get a new trophy wife when the divorce papers are final.

The modern woman of today has access to an abundance of delightful sex toys that can deliver hours of extended pleasures accompanied by an assortment of politically incorrect fantasies. She can spend leisurely hours in a spa, get professional touch from an experienced masseuse and spend time with her girlfriends.

Unlike Sex and the City, real women these days will more likely be discussing politics, feminism, sexuality and the stock market and not obsessing over how to get or keep a man.
