While some dream of a love story like in the movies, others are content in their solitude, living life as if they were single.
Meanwhile, researchers have identified three main personality traits that may indicate that someone is more likely to remain single for a long time.
To find out if you or someone you know fits the description, read below what the science says.
Research results have shown that people who stay single for a long time tend not to go out much, so they are less social, less conscientious and less inclined to seek out new experiences.
The study also found that people who stay single their entire lives tend to report less dissatisfaction with life.
