More than 60 percent of young men are single, nearly twice the rate of unattached young women,

This comment makes no sense.

while actual women:men in US population is about 51:49, for simple analysis, we can say its 50:50. The question then is - who are all these young women attached to, if not to young men? Older men? Are they Lesbians? their pets?

the article doesn't help explain it either, only offering other random, disconnected statistics to demonstrate the "crisis."

This is standard for American journalism today.

It does make sense when you realize that the top tier of attractive men generally are “dating” multiple women nowadays, and the women seem to prefer that to the alternative, dating just one man who is not quite as attractive.

women lie about being single

They women are in relationships with men 30 and over. I bet the flip side of this is that there are more older men in relationships than older women.

Middle aged men.

You have some (charming, popular) guys who date more than one woman. Each girl they see will feel she's "in a relationship". It's just that it's not an exclusive relationship.

And yes the figures are skewed by all the 20-something women who date 30-something guys.
