University of Toronto psychologists analyzed data from nearly 6,000 single people who had participated in 10 studies.

They found that single women were happier than single men with their single lives.

They were happier with their current romantic relationship status, less likely to want a romantic partner and more satisfied with their life in general.

From a perspective centered on the experiences of single people, especially those who live alone, what matters is getting everything done.

Single women are still more likely to know how to do domestic chores, and that can make single life easier for them.

Married men tend to be paid more than single men, even when their qualifications are the same.

In my research, I've found that men may be even more likely than women to identify as single at heart.
