Single Ladies, Make Noise!


If you got a hundred dollar bill, put your hands up!
Anyhow, that is enough Fatman Scoop for now. But, in the latest National Geographic, they have published a map that details where the greater populations of single men live and single women live. Blue is overwhelming populations of single men, red is single women. This is honestly shocking to me, Silicon Valley makes sense, but maybe my West Coast corespondent can log in and let me know if there is actually zillions more single men in LA than women. From living on the East Coast for the past few years, I would not have guessed that the entire coast is figuratively throbbing with single women. I guess I must have hung out at the wrong places.
In either case...West of the Mississippi River there is a whole lotta dudes.

Having lived in LA
I can honestly attest
That every day
Is a sausage fest

Maybe I'm missing something here, but considering that the vast majority of relationships are between one man and one woman living in the same city, don't these numbers just reflect the differences in population of men/women (not just the single ones).

On the positive side, this means that in the world, there is a surplus of 120 million available women (due to the 52/48 split).

Bracken -
You are completely correct.
single ladies - single men == total ladies - total men.

And consider this:

Granted it is from the Onion, but the study is factual. It's only going to get better for those infamous single men from now on.
