Most young men are single. Most young women are not.

90. I am single, I have been single for a long time, and I have not gone on a date in years

I was "romantically uninvolved" in my late 20s and I am still "romantically uninvolved" in my 30s.

That's me, a lot of this in that article is me.

Why? College degree, stable work history, managerial position, etc.

For me, a lot of this is now personal choice. I would rather be single than be in a pretend relationship. It is a hard choice, but I think I would rather be single than be in an unhappy relationship formed only out of desperation.

It also feels financially prohibitive to be in a relationship. Everything today costs so much money and make a mistake in any avenue of life and it becomes devastating. I simply can't afford a relationship.

Emotionally, I also had an ex, nobody is like her. I mulled it over so many times in my head, I figured that if money wasn't a problem, then maybe it would have worked out. I simply don't have the urge to seek a relationship that I see as less satisfying. It's hard to conjure up feelings for the dating pool.

In short: I am not in a relationship and I do not plan to be in one and I am not anxious about not being in a relationship.
