Here’s why women are happier single than men

All single women are doing just fine, new research shows.

A recent study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science found that women, it turns out, are more likely to fly solo than men.

University of Toronto psychologists Elaine Hoan and Geoff MacDonald analyzed data from nearly 6,000 single adults in 10 studies and found that girls without partners had higher happier than men in all aspects.

For every question, women responded that they were more satisfied with their lives than men.

They are happier alone, less likely to want a significant other, more sexually satisfied, and overall more satisfied.

Aggregated data suggests that women—whether single or plus one—are more satisfied with their lives overall, not to mention more satisfied sexually.

No, they don’t want you to wear a ring.

According to Horn and McDonald, single women are happier because they are more likely to have supportive platonic relationships to fall back on.

Additionally, romantic relationships are less favorable for them because they are more likely to have more family responsibilities and sexual pleasure is undervalued.

Experts say single men “benefit more from a partner than single women.”

Dr. Bella DePaulo, author of “Single at Heart,” adds that research shows women also enjoy being alone more than men and spend more time pursuing their own interests.

While some trends and studies seem to suggest that women are better off getting married than remaining single, others suggest that single women are doing just fine for themselves—for example, in the United States, single women own more homes than single men.

Despite the higher costs of being single, many women would rather pay the “single tax” than update their relationship status.

The tax — a catchy name referring to the higher costs single people pay to support themselves financially — recently rose to more than $7,000, according to Zillow.

A study conducted by Qualtrics on behalf of Intuit Credit Karma found that while many single women acknowledge the financial burden of being independent as a major source of stress in their lives, they believe the cost of living alone is acceptable.
