The study focuses on determining if there are significant differences on the attitude of respondents based on age, gender and geographical location towards singlehood among women and what attitude the respondents will give towards single women. The study had 400 respondents who were male and female adolescent, early adult, middle-aged and late adult from provincial and urban area. The study made use of likert-scale as the method of gathering data. The study was able to know the attitude of respondents through the total mean score on the likert survey questionnaire. It was also able to determine if there are significant differences on the attitude based on age, gender and geographical location through analysis of variance (significant .05). Data revealed that there are no significant differences on the attitude of respondents based on age and geographical location. On the other hand, data shows that there is significant difference on the attitudes of respondents based on gender. It also shows that all respondents have positive attitude towards singlehood among women regardless of age, gender and geographical location, however, some are more positive than the other. Respondents from urban area are more positive in their attitude than respondents from provincial area regardless of age and gender. Female respondents are more positive in their attitude than male respondents regardless of age and geographical location. Middle-aged adult respondents are neutral in their attitude than adolescent, early adult and late adult respondents. Late adult respondents have the most positive attitude than adolescent, early adult and middle-aged respondents. It is concluded that respondents regardless of age and geographical location perceived single women positively, however, gender makes a difference in the attitude towards being single adult life.
