3. Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling says that the fact that she’s single definitely bothers other people more than it bothers her. While her friends want to set her up with other people, she’s simply not interested because she knows she’s okay on her own.
“When you’re a certain age and you’re a single woman, if you go to a party, it bums people out,” Mindy said on Meghan Markle’s “Archetypes” podcast. “And they want to set me up with some loser they know. And I’m like, I’m okay. I’m a rich, successful woman with great clothes and a nice family.”
4. Amber Rose
The dating pool is “worse than ever,” according to Amber Rose, and it makes her incredibly uninterested in pursuing a relationship with a man. She admits she’d rather just be single than have to share her life with another person.
“[Men are] pretty disgusting out here. They’re f—ing gross. Like, I wanna be single for the rest of my life. I don’t want to share my house or my life with anyone. I don’t want anyone around my kids. I don’t want to have sex. It’s so gross. I don’t want it…I’m very happy to not be in my bed with anyone,” Amber said on the “Sofia with an F” podcast.

Lucy Hale admits she didn’t use to like being single, but as she’s gotten older, she actually prefers it. She says that if someone is going to come into her life, they need to be worth her time.
“When I was younger, I was constantly wanting to be with or date someone because I was so deathly afraid of being single or by myself. Now, I’m at the point where if I meet someone, they better really elevate my life, because I love being single,” Lucy told Cosmopolitan.
10. Emma Watson
When Emma Watson turned 30, she opened up about the pressure society puts on people to have it all figured out by that age. For her, she wasn’t ready to settle down and was still enjoying her single life.
“If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out…There’s just this incredible amount of anxiety,” she told British Vogue. “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel. I was like, ‘This is totally spiel.’ It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”
