noun

1. (uncountable)The state or sphere of those who are single (unmarried or unattached).

   “(A ministorage center in Manhattan has even run ads suggesting that it is the best repository for the spoils of singledom.)”

   “But part of me was still glad to see this undoubtedly superficial take. As a society, we barely discuss the realities and implications of singledom. In pop culture singledom is almost invariably represented as an easily fixed unhappy state, a step along the way to getting happily hitched.”
