The game is kind of rigged against us, right?
Human biology is rigged for reproduction.
It's not set up to find long-term committed love.
There are so many challenges.
Some of them have lost a spouse or a partner that was beloved to them.
Some have been through the fiery tunnel of divorce.
Some have never been married and are wondering, okay, does love exist for me?
So I see people from all three pipelines.
I think they're all worried about, you know, some people will say, I don't want to be a nurse.
I don't want to be a purse.
Oh, my gosh, I've been divorced multiple times.
Is somebody going to think I'm broken?
So what I would say is if you're a single in midlife, the census data show that there's 35 million singles over 50.
And if you back that up to 40, it's even more.
And the total number of singles is 118 million adults in this country.
So it's a giant swath of the population.
Everybody feels the thing.
There's heartbreak.
