I am a bit confused on the math here.

If most young men are single and most young women are not, then who are the young women in relationships with?

Most young women are likely to be in relationships with men who are at least a few years older than themselves.

And some are likely in relationships with other women.

Also, in my experience and what I see on the internet plenty of younger guys are more interested in hooking up then getting into a relationship with a woman. So at least some amount of them are single by choice.

Agreed.

And maybe some women are sharing boyfriends.

Does that mean most old men are in relationships and most old women are not?

There comes a time when a man looks at his life and wonders about things. I have had absolutely no luck finding a significant other in my later years in life. In fact I've had a lot of negative overreactions from women. In Highschool, college and at the begining of Photography School I had very positive reactions from women. I had them asking me out quite a bit. Now it is entirely the opposite.They are very quick to judge me and they judge to the harshest extent. Do I belong here? Should I go back to Nova Scotia? If I don't belong in either places then where do I belong?

Most Girls I have dated have either been mean or nasty towards me. I was lucky to meet a few nice ones though. I've been told I make women feel very uncomfortable. Why such hatred? In 11 years I've come so close but have not had a significant other.
