Answer:
According to Peter Stein research into singlehood (1981), Cynthia is an ‘Involuntary temporary’ type of a single person.
Explanation:
Involuntary temporary singles are not being singles by choice (voluntarily) and are actively looking for possibilities to change their single status. Â
Here, Cynthia is actively looking for husband, both online and through her friends. She did not choose to be unmarried and wants to find a spouse in order to improve her situation. Even if a person (Cynthia) stays single for a long time, it is her own perception of her singlehood that defines her as an involuntary temporary single.
