WASHINGTON -- Most American millennials ages 18-25 are making the
choice to live life solo intentionally, according to a USA Today report on
Monday, citing a new survey by the dating app Tinder.
survey found 72 percent of more than 1,000 single American youths
Tinder questioned "have made a conscious decision" to stay single for
a period of time.
Moreover, as high as 81 percent of them see being single as beneficial
in ways beyond just their love lives, the survey found.
More than half said other young single people were more open to new experiences
and that they view themselves as more fun due to their single status, according
to the survey.
Historically, people blindly set out to cross off items on their
young-adult-to-do list: Go to school. Work hard. Find a partner. Get married.
Have children. Encourage your children to do the same. Rinse and repeat,"
said Darcy Sterling, a licensed clinical social worker and Tinder's
"relationship expert.
This trend for millennials is a 'paradigm shift'," she told
the USA Today, noting that millennials invest more time in careers, social
lives and personal time when single. (Xinhuanet)
