“It declined to 49% in 2014 before bouncing to 51% in 2015, 55% in 2016, and 57% in 2017,” it said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the pollster said those who are saying their love life “could be happier” has been at the 30s since 2002, except in 2004 where it was at a record-high 44 percent and in 2014 at 40 percent. The “lowest” level was recorded in 2017, which was only at 29 percent.<\/p>\n

It further said the proportion of those who have “no love life” ranged from nine percent to 14 percent from 2002 to 2018. The “highest” level was registered in 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n
