You know, although we’ve “progressed” as a society, there’s always one thing we (the collective so no need to say “not me”) seem to question: when a woman isn’t married or in a very serious relationship by a certain age. When you’re in the spotlight, people tend to focus on you a little more because…well, you’re relatively famous. Sometimes, like many other women in the world, work and life take precedence over making sure you have a man (or woman, if that’s your preference) to come home to at night.
The ladies on this list are all 35 and over and as best as we can tell, still single. But don’t cry for them Argentina because they are fabulous and you definitely don’t have to have a man to stay fly! Check it out!

Anika Noni Rose
Anika and I are something like sisters in my head and so like most nosy sisters, I want to make sure she has the best! While I’ve never seen her photographed with a date, there’s a chance Anika has a boyfriend stashed away and she’s just being really private about it. If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had want-to-be suitors banging on the door trying to take her out.

Sanaa Lathan
Black Hollywood’s “girl next door” has often been the subject of rumors about who she’s dating. The last time we heard about her relationship status she was dating music exec Steve Rifkind but that’s been over for quite awhile. She told Sister 2 Sister magazine last year that she was looking for someone who is faithful, loyal, honest and has integrity. That shouldn’t be too hard to find, right? Maybe she’d have a better chance of finding that if she dates outside of the entertainment industry. How’s that for “something new?” (I couldn’t help myself!)

Regina Hall
While we don’t hear as much about Regina as many of the other women on the list, she absolutely holds it down for the Forty & Fabulous crew! While promoting Think Like A Man, Regina told Wendy Williams that she was single and she gave the impression that she’s absolutely ready to be out there dating and having a good time. As fly as she is, men better get on their Ps & Qs (and let’s hope she’s not crazy or something, lol)!

Malinda Williams
Malinda, as she’s more affectionately known, is the only one on the list who has already been married…twice. Her first marriage to Mekhi Pfifer came to a pretty nasty end when he said she fussed a lot and they didn’t have anything to talk about (this, of course, came after she said he’d been unfaithful during the relationship). She was then briefly married to former rapper turned dj/photographer D-Nice; their marriage was over before it even got wheels from under it. Does she have bad taste in men or does she have some things she really needs to work on with herself? I think it’ll be interesting to see what happens with her next relationship and unfortunately, the spotlight will definitely be on her then.

Taraji P. Henson
Is it safe to say that Taraji is everybody’s homegirl? I think you’d be really hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t just adore her. She seems so down to earth, really smart, a really good actress and super pretty! If you follow her on Twitter, you may have seen her mention a few times that she’s single and while she’s ready for a relationship, she always says that god will send him to her when He’s ready. The last person she was publicly dating was Common and he’s always had great things to say about her sooooo…maybe dinner and drinks are in order? I like the sound of that!

Kerry Washington
The last time we heard about Kerry being linked to anyone, she was engaged to actor David Moscow. She’s been single for some time now but make no mistake that she has a date from time to time. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we’d seen her in pictures with a date and didn’t even notice it. I spoke to a guy who loves Kerry and he said, “She seems pretty intense so anyone who dates her is really going to have to be able to keep up!” What do you think?
