Researchers have identified three key personality traits—low extroversion, conscientiousness, and openness—that may indicate a higher likelihood of remaining single throughout life. The study, which analyzed data from over 77,000 people aged 50 and over, compared personality traits between lifelong singles and those who had been in long-term relationships.
In romantic comedies, singles are constantly depicted as cat lovers with a penchant for ice cream — but beyond big screen stereotypes, it turns out there are, researchers have identified three key traits that could potentially indicate whether someone is destined to fly solo for the rest of their life.
“There are differences between people who stay single their entire lives and people who get partnered,” declared study author Julia Stern, a senior researcher at the University of Bremen in Germany.Researchers have pinpointed three actual personality traits that could potentially indicate that someone is destined to fly solo for the rest of their life.
However, scientists suspect that the former certainly plays a role in this romantic chicken-and-egg debate.The research team also found that single women were happier than single men, older people were happier to fly solo than middle-aged folks, and that singledom resulted in lower happiness scores in countries with higher marriage rates.
