Cold and alone? Those stereotypes die hard, don't they? The women living alone that I know are no more cold and alone than the men who are living alone. Some never married, some are divorced or widowed, and all are busy with work, golf, art, music, various other hobbies, travel, pets, family and friends. They are only as alone as they want to be. Living alone by choice, which most do, is better than living with others because you have no choice.
