Well if she wants to date decent guys, calling herself single is a must.

You're really puzzled? huh. I figure folk do so to note status as a means for goals (dating, finances, taxes, etc).

So I gather that claiming single hood is a dating strategy? Taxes are a different thing. The IRS 1040 form has 5 categories.
  • Single
  • Married filing joint return
  • Married filing separate return
  • Head of Household with qualifying person (child usally)
  • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child
I think my puzzlement has been answered.

Single: not married and not in a romantic relationship.

It seems, from some of the posts, women are more happy to claim to be single (regardless of most definitions) than men are (unless the men are trying to cheat on a relationship). Not sure why.
That has nothing to do with it.
