A study reveals that women may fare better without men than the other way around.

According to a study by psychologists at the University of Toronto, single women are generally happier than single men. The findings indicate that men may gain more advantages in heterosexual romantic relationships compared to women. One reason for this is the greater involvement of women in creating "family happiness."

The lead author of the study, Elaine Hoan, Ph.D., explains: "In heterosexual relationships, women typically take on more emotional and domestic labor than their partners. Additionally, their sexual pleasure often takes a backseat due to the unequal distribution of responsibilities."

The study surveyed nearly 6000 adults, assessing their satisfaction with their current relationship status, quality of life, sexual pleasure, and desire for a partner. The results indicated that women feel happier without a partner: they report higher life satisfaction and sexual experiences.

Women also enjoy advantages in single life, such as having more social connections and often being financially independent. In contrast, men are more likely to fear loneliness due to societal expectations regarding their "masculinity."

Other intriguing conclusions reached by the researchers include:

• Older men are happier with long-term solitude compared to younger men.
• Black single women have a greater desire to find a partner than white women.
