Who are the Singles?

Never Married Singles - Youngest Group 25 million men 20 million women
Separated & Divorced - The Midlife Group. 18 million total
Widowed Singles - The Oldest Group. women outnumber men 5 to 1 11.2 million women 2.1 million men. 3

It is important to note that women who remain single and are college educated have:

Higher I.Q.'s
More Education
More Prestigious Occupations
Higher Incomes
Better Mental Health / Well Being

These are women actively choosing singlehood over marriage.

I think the last one is the most important here. What good is a life without well being or good mental health? Anyways, I'm just taking notes for the next parental you're-getting-older-and-need-to-start-looking-for-someone lecture that I can tell is about to repeat itself soon.
