This lines up with the experience of single friends I've seen. I wonder how much of it though is that those who are left on the dating market are on there for a reason?

Namely they select for avoidant types who when trouble arises are more likely to embrace singledom

I'm anxious attachment style, but latterly maybe do tend towards fully avoidant because I can't face anymore pain. Not a great position to be in at 35.
