A survey by data analysts Mintel found that a higher amount of women reported being happier with being single compared to men (61% of women happy with being single, vs 49 percent of men), as reported in the British online newspaper The Independent (2017). This finding is also corroborated by other studies which find women also report lower satisfaction about being in any type of relationship than men, such as the government funded longitudinal study The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey (HILDA), which found lower mean satisfaction among women than men in committed relationships (mean of 0.3 lower on a scale of 1-10 for both de facto and formally married partnerships). | |||
Later waves of the same study of the HILDA survey breaking down self reported relationship satisfaction of parents by number of children and whether they were in a single vs dual parent household largely replicated the earlier waves findings, except for the finding that single mothers with one or two children were slightly more or equally satisfied in their current romantic relationship as compared to single fathers with the same amount of children, with single parent families generally reporting being much less satisfied in their relationships with their partners vs dual parent households. | |||
In a supply and demand model for relationship dynamics, this would further reinforce that men have a greater desire for women than vice versa. Such a gender imbalance in demand would thus be expected to decrease supply of available women relative to men who are looking for women, which would inflate female value and allow women to be even more selective. | In a supply and demand model for relationship dynamics, this would further reinforce that men have a greater desire for women than vice versa.
