I think as people get older, after 30, they become set and comfortable in their world of loneliness. The focus narrows so that they only look for the perfect, the one "solution" to their loneliness; "the one." The focus becomes singular when the solution to loneliness is multifaceted; get out, do activities, meet many people, etc. Ergo they remain lonely.
