States with the Most Single People [LIST]

It's Friday night, you're sitting on the couch, playing on your phone in your jammies and decide to just do it. You bake a box of brownies and open a bottle of wine. You're the only single person in the world. Well, actually, you're wrong.

Singles now make up more than half of the U.S. population. Single people over the age of 16, make up 50.2 percent of the population, which is up from 37.6 percent in 1976.

So stop wallowing in your brownie batter (we know you didn't actually bake them...) and wine and maybe just move to Louisiana or Rhode Island.

Louisiana and Rhode Island are tied with the highest percentage of singles in the U.S., 55.7.

The exact percentage of Illinois singles isn't listed, but, if you take a look at this map, it looks as if it's somewhere over 51%. So let's put some real clothes on and go out, ok?

Here is the top ten list:

1. Louisiana, 55.7%
2. Rhode Island, 55.7%
3. New York, 55.4%
4. Mississippi, 54.9%
