核心概念
Many single Americans prioritize being single due to important priorities or enjoying it, while those looking for relationships vary in preferences based on age and gender.
摘要
A significant portion of U.S. adults are single, with varying demographics influencing this status. Younger individuals are more open to casual dating, while older singles tend to prefer committed relationships. Men and women have different tendencies regarding dating preferences as they age. Factors such as race, education, and sexual orientation also play a role in the likelihood of being single. The reasons for not seeking relationships include having other priorities, enjoying being single, feeling too busy or old to date, or past relationship experiences.
