It is estimated that there are 82 million single and unmarried adults in the United States.  That’s definitely a big enough crowd for a party!  So this week raise a glass in honor of National Unmarried and Single Americans week, the biggest celebration for us singletons here in North America.

In our honor, online dating site Zoosk threw together a survey of its 4,500 U.S. members to find out our thoughts on living single.  Here are the highlights:

Men are more productive at work when they’re in a relationship.  A whopping 64% of single men say they are more productive at work when they’re dating someone but 53% of women on the other hand say their productivity goes down or doesn’t change when they’re in a relationship.

Cameron Diaz is our favorite single gal.  62% of single women say Cameron Diaz is living the ultimate unmarried life, while 21% picked music star Rihanna and 17% pick royal sibling Pippa Middleton.

Singles believe they are not treated equally compared to their married counterparts in our society.

An overwhelming majority of singles (77% of women and 74% of men) say singles are not treated the same as married people in our society.  Hello!

The #1 reason singles say they are still single? “I’m too picky!”

• 65% of men say they single because they are “too picky” or feel that “all the good ones are taken.” 59% of women feel the same way.
• 17% of men and 15% of women say they are simply “too busy” with other things in their lives right now to settle down.
• 11% of men and 16% of women say they are single because they are “terrified of getting close to someone.”
• 7% of men and 10% of women say they are “too independent to be tied down.”

Do you agree with the stats?  What do/don’t you love about being single?
