It rose from 6.8million in 1999 to 8.2million in 2019, with the majority of this increase driven by the growth in the numbers of men - predominantly aged between 45 and 64 - living alone (72.1%).

I'm not quite in that age bracket But

They put this down to various reasons. Men marrying at an ever later age. Divorces. Women don't rely on men financially so much etc. I would add that many guys don't want to get married, some even eschew relationships all together. I don't think it's because they cant pull, I get the impression they are content in themselves. And prefer to spend time doing their interests and hobbies. Or spending time with their mates in pubs, or doing activities without having to "check with SWMBO" before saying Yes to a weekend break in Munich/ Ibiza

As is often the way, the Japanese are way ahead of us. Again delayed or no marriage appears to be at the root.

I would imagine PH is 95%+ Male.

Wondered if this was a fair reflection?

Couldn't complete the survey. I'm married, and have been for 36 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.
