For Single Women and Men (ages 25 thru 30+ or up) -- Survey?

Hello, I'm doing this survey to write a research paper about singlehood or single people(ages 25 thru 30+ or up), and I'd really appreciate your help. This is the first time I'm posting a survey; I'm not very sure I'm doing this correctly. If you have suggestions pls. let me know.





Before you answer the questions, please carefully read the definition of singlehood and categories of single people below:





In the Dictionary, singlehood means "the status or state of being unmarried."


In my textbook singlehood is defined "not living with an intimate partner."





Categories of single people (did I include everything?):





Never-married without kids


Never-married with (a) kid(s) - either living with kids Or


Never-married, and has (a) kid(s) but doesn't live with them


Divorced with kids or widowed


Divorced without kids





Survey:





Under what category of single people are you?(see above)


Male or female?


What's your age?

Why do you think you are single?Your reasons for being single?

Reply:Too many questions to answer one by one. One would probably have to retype your questions and then answer one by one. Too much work. Sorry.
