The assumption that just about everyone is looking for romantic love is so pervasive, and until recently so rarely challenged, that it strikes some people as a truism about human nature.
In their analysis of a national U.S. sample of solo single people surveyed in 2021, they learned that 51 percent of them were not interested in going on dates or starting a romantic relationship.
Among the previously married, a remarkable 73 percent of the women were not interested in romance. Among the previously married men, that number was 50 percent.
Only it isn't. The findings indicate a significant divergence in romantic interests based on gender and relationship history, challenging long-held beliefs about single individuals.
