@GalacticTurtle @EmmyNoether My point was that these are all unusual things for our demographic. It clearly demonstrates that they are capable of making choices as opposed to just drifting in life, so assuming that they’re just drifting in one aspect is questionable. I could’ve also mentioned some newer old friends who are single, but that’s much less rare outcome than any of the ones I mentioned. In fact, it’s common enough to be quite unremarkable in our context.
And frankly, there’s also the possibility of people being overwhelmingly couple-bonding creatures and that being a strong innate drive on average.
