The social dating app 'Jeongoeui Date' recently conducted a survey on 'the biggest reason I am single' among 12,060 unmarried men and women. As a result, 29% of men responded that the biggest reason was 'lack of opportunities to meet the opposite sex.' This was followed by 'lack of personal charm and appearance' (23%) and 'high standards for an ideal type, so I couldn't find someone I liked' (14%). The fourth place was 'financial issues,' which was close to the third place.

On the other hand, for women, 'high standards for an ideal type, so I couldn't find someone I liked' ranked first at 28%. Next was 'lack of opportunities to meet the opposite sex' (27%), and 'lack of personal charm and appearance' (16%) came in third. The fourth reason was 'lack of time.'

In fact, men mentioned comments such as "I work at a male-dominated company, so I hardly ever encounter women," and "When working, my lifestyle becomes monotonous, so I have fewer chances to meet new people." Meanwhile, women expressed opinions like "As I get older, it becomes harder to find someone I like," showing a pattern similar to the survey results.
