"Society is more accepting today of people who want to stay single for a long time. This acceptance flows from the promise of our basic human rights laws and theory, the advantage of self-directed decisions that compliment the goals of humanity in general, and lastly, (the most important part for singles) the pursuit of happiness. It offers modern humans, those with some self control, the freedom to achieve goals they greatly desire. It's becoming more hip each day." From the book ABC's of Singleship, J.J. Jones of Colorado, USA.

There is a real process to human happiness and grouping. It is not random, nor mysterious. To compress this process into simple, easy to understand steps, here is what we need to keep the human race happy: (1) some social skills to meet someone, (2) find places to group, (3) get a fix of safety in a group (all humans instinctively need this), (4) achieve an appropriate amount of intimacy with one person(5) receive validation or recognition for their existence. When this occurs, two people can begin to share their physical space and create a family unit. It takes only two people to create that safe feeling of a new family and it's not about sex. Singleship requires a person to meet the five steps for human happiness without a partner. Singleship requires a person to increase their knowledge of self.

The term was first coined by Jeffrey W. (J.J.) Jones of Colorado who authored the first book on the subject.
