I ask because I'm a mid 20s male who is single and I'm seemingly a rare species. I go out with my group of friends and they're seemingly all taken. It's a strange existence. It seems like after college, single people become an uncommon thing

Depends on the area of the country you're in too. I live in the south and most girls who don't go to college either marry or start having kids right out of high school, 18 or 19 and they're all tied down for life. Asking for a percentage in their 20's? I'd say about 25-35% of people are single.

85% are single, women keep rejecting them until they hit 40's and get a fat wallet inside their pockets.

Depends on your location.

Rural Iowa? Probably 20-40% if not lower

New York City? Probably 60-80% if not higher

It's normal to "lose" friends to relationships at that age. All that means is that you need to get out and make new friends until you can flake out on them for the same reason.

Let me ask you this, have you ever been to a bar or a club on a weekend night?
