http://labs.time.com/story/see-the-ratio-of-single-men-to-women-where-you-live/ "On the west side of Washington, D.C., for example, there are 1.4 college educated women between ages 18 and 30 for every man of the same description." |
Shhh, don't let the men find out. Otherwise they will start holding out. |
| Import one from out of state. Worked for me. |
Kansas and Alaska has a high concentration of men. |
Women in Alaska have a saying: "In Alaska the odds are good, and the goods are odd." |
I am a married woman and I agree that some of my single friends have non-flexible expectations, have blind spots regarding their own imperfections, and then the longer they live alone, the more they get accustomed to their idiosyncrasies without assessing the need to be flexible and open to growth and change. |

Head East, women! You are searching in the wrong quadrants. |
lol... The problem is that women have upped their game but men haven't. I got a mail order DH from Europe. Kidding, but he is an immigrant from Europe, and I'm Asian American. |
“Women have upped their game but men haven’t”: meaning what? Are we supposed to magically become taller and richer? |
Just a college degree or a silicon Valley start-up CEO. |
| What the terrible ratio fails to account for as well is the huge gay population in DC. Many of the single men are definitely not looking to date women. |
Or a religion, for some: http://time.com/dateonomics/ "One of my web searches turned up a study from Trinity College’s American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) on the demographics of Mormons. According to the ARIS study, there are now 150 Mormon women for every 100 Mormon men in the state of Utah—a 50 percent oversupply of women.... Yes, she told me, the ratios are lopsided. And yes, Mormon men take full advantage. “They wait for the next, more perfect woman,”" |
The issue in DC is unlike most major cities, we don't "make" anything here. No factories, no manufacturing, and the nearest major port is Baltimore. So a huge % of jobs are white collar and require a college degree. At most universities, it's 60% female, so you'll see similar ratios like that in the workforce around here. |
Katherine Heigl? Reports are her beauty is skin deep but her petulance goes clear to the bone. |
