I think I recall that being somewhat disputed because the relationship status was self reported, some suggested that men might not consider certain types of relationships as serious but women do, so there's a disparity in reporting what is and isn't an actual relationship and the reality might be more balanced. Sweden statistics, xd.
From what I can find after a brief search, there's this one [0] that claims 63% for men, 34% for women, and [1] there's a a generally known toxicity around dating these days that makes these numbers entirely believable. I don't pretend to have a large enough network of acquaintances to make a good guess, but hardly anyone I know isn't single, and I know maybe two or three religious types that are actually married.
As for gen Z men being especially undesirable, there's well... [2].
So are you saying, some gen Z men are in a relationship, but don't know it? I do buy that, it seems to be the basis of some rom-com plots. The clueless guy that doesn't know he's being reeled in.
Other factor.
As the other post suggested. There are large age gaps. Women date older, men date younger. This is also long known. Does it add up to 60/30? That does seem high, but maybe with every other factor thrown in, it explains it?
