""Singled Out" debunks myths and stereotypes about single people
and lays the groundwork for social, political, and economic
change."
-- Thomas F. Coleman, Executive Director, Unmarried America Drawing
from decades of scientific research and stacks of stories from the
front lines of singlehood, Bella DePaulo debunks the myths of
singledom---and shows that just about everything you've heard about
the benefits of getting married and the perils of staying single
are grossly exaggerated or just plain wrong. Although singles are
singled out for unfair treatment by the workplace, the marketplace,
and the federal tax structure, they are not simply victims of this
singlism--single people really are living happily ever after. BELLA
DEPAULO, Ph.D., is a social psychologist who did her graduate work
at Harvard. She is currently a visiting professor at the University
of California at Santa Barbara. DePaulo is single and living
happily ever after in Summerland, California.
Visit her website at www.belladepaulo.com "Singled Out" Debunks Ten
Myths of Singlehood, Including:
-Myth--The Dark Aura of Singlehood: You are miserable and lonely
and your life is tragic.
-Myth--Attention, Single Women: Your work won't love you back and
your eggs will dry up. Also, you don't get any and you're
promiscuous.
-Myth--Attention, Single Men: You are horny, slovenly, and
irresponsible, and you are the scary criminals. Or you are sexy,
fastidious, frivolous, and gay. "Elegant analysis, wonderfully
detailed examples, and clear and witty prose...A must-read for all
single adults, their friends and families, as well as social
scientists and policy advocates."
--E. Kay Trimberger, author of "The NewSingle Woman"
"The singles movement is coming to a bookstore near you."
--"Associated Press"
"Fascinating . .this book could hardly have come at a better time.
As much as societal adulation of the couple discriminates against
single people, "Singled Out" suggests that it can also undermine
marriage."
--"The" "Christian Science Monitor"
