In general, men and women are single at the same rate, about 31% for the population 18 and older. The gaps are found when you look into demographic information.

According to Pew Research data from 2020, in the 18-29 age group 51% of men are single compared to 32% of women. The ratio improves in the 30-49 age group where 27% of men are single compared to 19% of women. 50-64 has the smallest gap where 27% of men are single compared to 29% of women. When you look at 65+, 21% of men of single compared to 49% of women.

In other words, women have more success finding a partner until about 50, when men begin to have more success.

Being single is not the same as trying, and failing, to find a mate.
