Not a day goes by when I don’t hear from women about how difficult it is to find good single men in the dating pool. Some of these women I’ve coached privately for months and I’ve heard the frustrations consistently.

Surely, it can’t really be this hard to find a genuinely goodhearted man who’s available for a relationship…can it?

I decided to look into some statistics and see exactly what the dating pool looks like these days (for Americans in particular).

Obviously this article is not meant to be 100% accurate and an air-tight argument, but these numbers do support asking a question I have been hearing for years: “Where are all of the good men?”

Below is a graph from the Pew Research Center [2019–2020] that lays out the percentages of single men and women across ages:

The first number is percentage of all surveyed adults who are single, equaling 31%. In other words, only about 3 out of 10 people you see walking around in public are single.
