That survey about single and married people of both gender is referring to people married versus unmarried. Single doesn’t mean “not in a relationship”, just isn’t in legally binding union (which comes with its challenges and many women are very unhapy married but have hard time leaving due to kids or finances so women who went through that aren’t quick to legally marry again). So I wouldn’t take it as people who are totally alone are happier. Most people of both gender enjoy partnership.

It’s perfectly normal and understandable wanting to be in a relationship and being happier in it. It’s pretty much what most people want-companionship

At this time in your life you might need to be completely focused on other aspects of your life such as building a satisfying career that pays your bills and having your own place to live. Those are very important aspects. It really should be a priority. You’d have more opportunities meeting better quality men then. Especially as we get older most men (possibly all) want somebody independent, if they are independent themselves of course and want serious commitment. If independent professional man in his 40s-50s looking for a wife, he would want independent woman. If you want casual fun, then none of it matters. But it’s not satisfying to you anymore.

I’d also say if you only took “months” between men and you didn’t really ever have long time commited relationships, then it seems you go from one short encounter to another wuth no time to reflect in between. After break you feel lonely so you go for next one. While wuth next guy you are still reflecting on what happened with previous guy. Its like a cycle. If you don’t sufficirntly reflect on what happened in las relationship, you are bound to get entangled in the mess again. Give yourself time to fully reflect. I am not saying sit on
a couch and reflect but very busy with other things so you don’t ruminate too much or miss your exes

When you ready to date, do go for more established men. At age 20 it’s fine but in late 40s lack of education and a satisfying career and some basic material comfort (not saying rich) is not cute in a man. Also do try to eventually go for men who you wouldn’t normally go for. I am not saying go for boring men who don’t share your interest. But clearly going for the same type of men dudnt get you what you want. So try different ones. Challenge yourself

But not now. Do other things now. I’d also recommend not to work from home. Eventually I’d think in your situation being single it’s better to work outside of home. Just what I think

47 is not the end of the road! Plenty of people find loves of their lives later in life. You are young
