How many European men are actually single?
This is the filter people treat as free. It is the most expensive one on the list, and it gets more expensive precisely where the other filters send you.
Availability by age
Share of men not currently married, across Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
| Age | Share single |
|---|---|
| 25–29 | 88% |
| 30–34 | 68% |
| 35–39 | 53% |
| 40–44 | 44% |
| 45–49 | 40% |
| 50–54 | 37% |
The fifteen years that decide it
Between 25 and 40 the single share falls from nine in ten to under a half. Almost the entire collapse happens in that window, and it is close to a straight line down. After 45 it flattens out, as divorce starts returning men to the pool almost as fast as marriage removes them.
Nothing else in the data moves this fast. Height does not change with age. Weight drifts slowly. Availability falls off a cliff.
Why it collides with everything else
An income requirement points you at older men. So, in practice, does asking for someone established. But availability is falling through exactly those years, which means the two requirements are pulling in opposite directions.
Set the bar at €100,000 and the men who clear it are concentrated in their forties, where three in five are already married. Set it lower and you keep availability but lose the income. The calculator exists because this trade is invisible until someone does the multiplication.
What the numbers cannot see
"Single" here means not currently married. It counts the never-married, the divorced and the widowed together, and it cannot see who is in a relationship without being married to anyone — which, across these four countries, is a significant number of people. Treat the figures as the generous version.
