“In today’s age of postponed marriages, longer working hours and high divorce rates, it’s no surprise that there are 25.4 million single adults between the ages of 24 and 55 living in North America,” says Travis Hartley, Founder of Meet Market Adventures. “We find that more and more are tired of the dating scene and just want to enjoy themselves.”
