There is definitely social pressure for women to be in a relationship. We get it from an early age and as we get older get it from parents and other people close to you that feel that you are not a complete person if you dont have a man by your side. Some cultures stress it more than others but I think its pretty prevalent. It seems that some see your life as a check list...once you are done with your degree(s) the next thing on the list is marriage and kids so you hear it from people a lot more once you finish school.
It gets worse as you get older because for women the window to have kids is a lot smaller than guys. You start having friends and family your age starting families and that may increase the social pressure a bit.
