It's sad to see in the building where I live how many "young professionals" in their 30s are single and without kids. We are living in ways that contravene millions of years of evolution in our species. Something is deeply wrong.

Simons to buy clothes, then Indigo to spend what's left in books.

I agree, and I wouldn't complain about Summer if it was like that more often ;). Those who enjoy Summer must be happy: we used to say that it lasted only 2 months in Quebec (3 to be generous); now practically speaking it's 5 (May-September). We had a heat wave at the beginning of September last...

I see it as a euphemism. It's a word that we rarely heard in this context in the past. We had boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. It seems to me that people who use the word partner are trying to avoid having to admit that they are indeed in a romantic relationship.

I find it odd that people increasingly refer to their boyfriend or girlfriend as "partner".

Good morning @Jason55 , As mentioned in post #19 above, I did a literature review in an attempt to answer your question :"are the majority of people who see sex workers married?" For the researcher, the main challenge in locating relevant studies is the inconsistent terminology that is used...

Grateful for the small local stores that have been there for a long time (10-100 years). Support your local businesses!

Le déclin. Ce n'est pas du "bitchage", c'est la réalité: https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/grand-montreal/2026-05-27/demographie-en-2025/un-horizon-tres-preoccupant-pour-montreal.php...

Looking at the school supplies already out and on sale at my local pharmacy I am reminded of the excitement I felt every year while buying them before the school year... I recognize the same style of pens etc. (even though the famous "cahiers Canada" have been redesigned...) I bought some pens...

You are one of the few on this board who is not in denial about this topic. Even if one has not experienced a long-lasting and happy marriage, one needs only a minimum of awareness to know that countless such examples exist. When we renounce love, as many of us here do, we miss out on one of the...

I don't know what else to say that I sincerely think that she's highly intelligent and that I find her contributions to this board meaningful and informative. It's possible to respect someone even if you don't always agree with them.

Never said it was going to be groundbreaking. It's a literature review.

Highlighting a difference in theoritical framework is not an insult to intelligence.

Somewhere where there is no clock...

You approach the question from a critical theory/post-modernist stance, while I approach it from the point of view of scientist, trained in the scientific method, and with some basic knowledge in the social sciences. If I find any relevant studies, I will provide a summary of the methods and of...

There is no "census" of the "whole population of Johns". We will gather different studies of different populations, and then we see if there is a pattern in the marital status across those studies.

Not sarcastic. Someone asked the question at the top of this thread. I have free time on the weekend and am curious

Good questions. My goal is simply to perform a literature search to answer the question posed above. We will see what populations are being studied, sample size, etc. I have no idea how often the martial status of a given population of clients was studied.

I will do a literature search this weekend using the scholarly database JSTOR (no AI) in an attempt to find studies that answer the question posed by the OP.

Je ne mange que très rarement de la poutine (et quand c'est la cas, c'est une classique), mais je me disais justement que ça manquait de français ici. Bravo pour l'initiative. Le M dans merb, c'est pour Montréal, et 'tokébek'icitte...
