Women's Trends:
Staying Solo - The Rise of Soloists - There are 92 million unmarried adults in the U.S. Staying solo is often a deliberate choice for many women- some are delaying or outright skipping marriage & divorcing while others are living longer than their mates. The Soloist Mentality includes expanding their identity, creating and maintaining a social circle, building a safety/financial security net and living well.
Connecting - As a result of this rise, women value & yearn for connection - being part of a larger community is more relevant now than ever before.
Making Choices - Rise of The Navigator - women find they have too many choices, too little time, and want a filter for relevant choice. Approximately 51% of all Internet users in the US are women (that's five million more than men)
