Is it proper? - yes,so long as she can afford it.
Is it advisable? - no. Its best to have a trusted grown male relative around. Lots of Physcos and seexually frustrated,depraved minds roaming freely in town and single ladies living alone are easy and most favored prey.

It is good for a single lady to stay alone for free home matches.

If she isn't staying alone, that will be a problem cos she will need to be playing most of her matches in an away or neutral ground.

A grown male relative is no guarantee of protection. Some relatives are pervs.

A single woman is a vague description. A single fat 58 years old woman doesn't need a babysitter. A 70 old widow can leave by herself.

Any woman who is responsible financially is better off living alone.

I think its not right for a single girl to live alone. You may not believe this but its true, a female child needs a proper home training, parental advice and protection before she moves to her own house(husbands house). Without this, I wonder how she will take care of her family.

It may not be a guarantee of protection but it does further deter weirdos from potentially assaulting a female. Think of it this way. A man is like a male lion. His job is to defend and protect his territory at all times even if it means his life. In lion society, when females eat alone, the his hyenas are emboldened to attack. When a male lion is around the females, the hyenas hesitate and don't often attack.

Are we talking about any single lady or a single Nigerian lady?
I don't see any shaniqua, lakeisha, lawanda staying with her parents untill marriage.

Most south African ladies live alone. Most of my female coworkers live safely alone. Why does a lesssbian lady need male protection?

?? Huh? this post na confuse me.

Men are physically stronger than women, that is why a man living with a woman serves as a deterrence to anyone who would dare having evil ambitions towards a woman.

If a man is not physically stronger than a woman, that man may want to check his testosterone levels. Women don't deny this fact. This is not a paternalistic mindset. Men and women are different physically, that is fact.

Hermaphodites are neither men or women:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite

Men and women are biologically different, no one disputes that. Men are indeed physically stronger than women in most mammal species especially primates (which are what humans are). Stronger does not mean superior, it is just how genetics work. Males are built for strength. In the past, males were the ones who always fought in the toughest of wars (I'm aware there were female warriors). But would you ever imagine a lady with the power to drag a semi-truck on her shoulders? Absolutely not.

I just watched Hush - a movie where a deaf and dumb author who lives a solitary life was physically attacked by a serial killer - and wanted to know people's opinion on a single lady living alone .

Thanks for the contributions .
