Nearly seven in ten Americans (69%) believe in soulmates
Looking for love often leaves people wondering if it’s better to wait for a soulmate or just settle for with someone convenient. There may be no best answer to the age-old question, but six in ten Americans (60%) say it’s better to hold out for a soulmate (60%) than settle for somebody (11%).
A majority of women (65%) and men (56%) feel that it’s better to hold out. Men (15%) are twice as likely as women (7%) to say they they would recommend settling. And a near equal amount from both parties are unsure on the matter.
