Are Older Singles Happier With Being Single?

Evidence suggests there's an inflection point around midlife that single people starting at about age 40 start to become more satisfied with being single.

The people who as they get older continue to wish that they were in a romantic relationship seems to be associated with lower life satisfaction.
