Half of Single Americans Prefer a Partner

According to a poll from the People Media Network of dating sites, they found on average 52 percent of singles find no advantage to being single and rather have a partner. This leaves 48 percent of singles finding some advantage to having a "still looking" relationship status. In comparison, 33 percent of people polled said that being able to do what you want to do is the main advantage of being single, while 7 percent said living alone. 4 percent of singles said they like being single because they can date, and the same percentage said they like it because they can choose how to spend their money.

This poll ran on 13 of People Media's dating sites in the month of August and the first part of September. 27,000 members took part in the poll.
