Hi, The term 'spinster' is seldom used today. It is seen as very, very old-fashioned. A woman would typically just say that she is single.

Thanks Clive

'bachelorette'



So can we use it as ' I would have liked to stay as a bachelorette for the whole life'

Hi,

No, it's a silly TV show and a silly word.

Just say

' I would have liked to stay single (for) my whole life.'

Do you realize that 'would have liked' indic
