That data varies from country to country a lot also. Who cares really, if you feel good doing whatever you are doing and don't harm anyone - just continue... Some people would be miserable without creating a family, some are built to live single, some are gays, some are damaged beyond repair, many, many different realities and far from a "single recipe" that suits everyone. I'm probably repeating myself u are right, I just feel so liberated that I wish everyone would feel in a similar fashion, would be a lot less arguments, anger and conflicts in real world too.
