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 phenomenon may be explained by various factors, for example that women tend to date up in age. Women also have a stronger preference to be in a committed relationship and hence may more likely infer interest in commitment from causal relationships (which is symmetrical/dual to how men more likely infer sexual interest in any situation due to their higher [[sex drive]]<ref>http://faculty.missouri.edu/segerti/capstone/BussSexualInterest.pdf (Buss 2012)</ref>). This is evidenced by women having 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 is a group of men who do not have a particularly high interest in committing at all (engaging in [[pump and dump|pumping and dumping]]), who some women choose to date anyhow despite desiring commitment. 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 avoid male coercive male behavior while still be able to engage with a suitable male when the opportunity arises without any consequences of their lying. | ||
