Ford Torney, a 26-year-old man in Baltimore, does want a steady partner — he just hasn’t found the right connection yet. According to the General Social Survey data, 41 per cent of Democrats are without a steady partner, compared with only 29 percent of Republicans. Black Americans are more likely than white Americans to not have a steady partner: 51 per cent versus 32 per cent, respectively. Just under a third — 32 per cent — of employed adults don’t have a steady partner. But Lane has also seen unemployment affecting a person’s confidence and, in turn, torpedoing their efforts to find a steady partner.
