Is Single Life More Interesting?
| Nobody talks about spinsters and bachelors nowadays: the accepted word in Polish currently is singiel, from the English ‘single’. Because there are many definitions of what a singiel is, many different people could qualify for membership of this group. A somewhat simplified definition has been used for the purposes of this survey, focussing on those people who have taken a conscious decision to live without a long-term partner. It turns out that opinions in society are rather divided on the subject of life without a long-term partner, although a slight rise can be discerned in acceptance of this way of life. Currently virtually half of those surveyed (49%, a rise of 5 percentage points on 2013) accept a single lifestyle, while over two fifths (45%, a drop of 4 points) are unfavourably disposed towards it.
|
| A decided majority of people (67%, a rise of 6 percentage points on 2013) do not agree that a single life is more interesting than life in a long-term relationship, and one in six (16%, a drop of three points) have no doubts on this point. The belief that life is more interesting when you are single is held by 14% of those asked (a drop of 5 points on 2013), but only 4% are fully convinced of this.
