There's about 23 million older adults who are single in the U.S.

today, but it can still be really hard to find somebody.

Part of that is that especially women will say, I go to events, I go here, I go to this, I'm going to my church, I'm volunteering, I'm trying to find a man, but the men just aren't there.

So part of that is that men don't get involved in activities and social events the way that women do.

So women aren't finding men.

Another big issue is that there's the gender ratio gap.

So when you are age 60, 70, 80, there just are more women than there are men.

So at 60, there's about one and a half times more women than men.

By 70, 75, it's about two and a half to three times more women than men.

The issue is that women outlive men.

So the men literally just aren't there.

They have, they've died.

Yeah.

Men don't live as long as women.

So women are outliving men.

And then when men do partner and do remarry, they tend to partner and remarry much younger women.

So a 70, 75 year old woman is looking at a dating field where there are three times as many women as men.

And the men who are there are partnered with 60, 65 year old women.

So they're having a hard time, especially finding men.

We do see men tend to do pretty well on the dating market because there are so many women, but it's just hard to find people.
