Much larger than the difference in reported frequency of sex is, as already mentioned, the sex difference in singledom. Data by the Pew Research Center shows women throughout their twenties and thirties consistently report lower singledom rates (e.g. 27% vs 19% in the 30-49 bracket),<ref>https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/a-profile-of-single-americans/</ref> and the same difference can be found in other countries, e.g. in [[#Germany|Germany]], even though the sex difference in sexual activity is even smaller there. This may either be explained by women wishing more to be in a committed relationship and hence more likely inferring interest in commitment from causal relationships (similar to how men more likely infer sexual interest in any situation due to their higher sex drive<ref></ref>). For example, women have a much greater expectation that any given hookup results in heavy romantic investment on part of the man. In one study, 60% of women said they hoped a recent hookup would lead to a romantic relationship compared to only 13% of men.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1111/pere.12220 (Weitbrecht 2017)</ref> This would suggest that there are many men who do not have a particularly high interest in committing at all, who women choose to date anyhow. Another, perhaps additional explanation might be that women under-report their sexual activity and might perceive reporting their relationship status as less of a threat to their reputation than reporting their sex frequency. Pretending to be in a relationship may also be an effective strategy to reduce male coercive male behavior, while still be able to engage with a suitable male when the opportunity arises without any consequences of their lying. | Much larger than the difference in reported frequency of sex is, as already mentioned, the sex difference in singledom.
