Halfway down the thread someone mentions that this article is based on a self-reported pew research poll and not any kind of more in-depth study.
Also whoever wrote the article either didn’t understand the actual poll or just outright lied about what the data showed lmao
comment on this:
If you drill down into the actual source of the data, which is a Pew research poll, you find a specific definition of “single”. It is not actually “are you [not] dating someone”.
In these stats, “single” refers to people who “are not married, living with a partner or in a committed relationship”.
The important part here: a committed relationship. This is self-reported by the people being polled.
If two people are in a relationship, one may answer “yes” to this and the other may answer “no”, depending on whether they see it as a “committed” relationship.
Thus, there is an interesting explanation for at least part of the data - perhaps young men don’t consider themselves “committed” as often.
Combined with the age distribution phenomenon, this likely covers pretty much all of the discrepancy in the stats.

Fashy bros love to avoid putting a label on things and then blame women for not being in a relationship lol
That’s statistically impossible.
Holy shit how are you the first person to say this lol. This is like common knowledge.
This website is actually too gay to understand cishet relationships. Based af from hexbear
It also sucks hard as a man generally attracted to women a few years older, it’s like trying to swim upstream in the dating world

Based on my own experience, after a certain point the only question is whether you’re okay with your partner being a divorcee and/or single mother.
to the extent of 34% of men and 68% of women in the 18-29 age range though? i find that to be statistically erroneous. if i’m wrong and it’s just a big wide world of older men dating younger less socially experienced women (that are presumably easier to control and abuse?) to the extent that that percentage of these relationships fall outside the bounds of the 18-29 age bin, then i would like to leave this planet immediately.
