Yes. But a fair chunk of those may never know it, which puts you in a slightly dodgy position claiming it on their behalf. Socialisation into normalcy may have been both ubiquitous and largely effective; if you're not looking for new relationships you're probably not very aware of what new relationships you're not looking for. And if you are looking for new relationships later you may want them to echo your previous ones.

I wouldn't be comfortable claiming it for any individual person. But I'm totally happy making general/statistical claims.
