The current state of being single in New Jersey

In a survey of 2,400 Americans, single respondents were quizzed about their dating preferences and standards. Some states stood out about what singles wanted in a partner, New Jersey did not.

The study, conducted by Ritani, found that people in the states of Utah, California, and New York were very strict about what they wanted in a partner. Utah folks, for instance,  stressed long-term committment and shared values.

On the other end were the states of South Carolina, Kentucky, and New Jersey. People in these states were more flexible about what they wanted in a potential partner. New Jersey singles appear more open-minded that people in most states.
