Just ran across some information in a video I was watching.

 

8,000 years ago 17 women reproduced for every 1 man.

 

Today, men outnumber women worldwide by 66,000,000.

 

So ladies, if you're looking for a guy, you have 66,000,000 million "extras" to choose from.

most of those 66,000,000 extra men are nerds that women wouldn't be caught dead with :laugh:

It's a difference of just under 1%, assuming a world population of 7 billion. I think you have much bigger variation between communities (and countries!) than the global total.

 

Wikipedia (bad reference, therefore estimate only) suggests that in Qatar there is over 3 men for every woman. Increase that to 5 for the 25-54 age bracket. On the flip side, in Russia there are more women than men over 25.

 

Boil it further down to communities within a country - here in Aus mining towns are very heavily male dominated, whereas almost all major cities have more females.

Was looking further into it. Apparently China and India account for the 70,000,000 extra men. Both societies favour male children and found themselves in all kids of trouble.

I can confirm from living in China, that their societal policy and traditions have contributed to this failure.

I hope that's hyperbole rather than actual math from the numbers in this thread...

Ha, and l can confirm that where l live single women out number guys by 5 to 1, or somem like that :bunny:

There's a fk load of them anyway , and l'm a very spoiled boy :bunny: So you know, as usual, numbers smungers and stats whogivesafk.

 

ps , and actually come to think of it my gf comes from a city of 7million and both her and most of her friends, are absolutely gorgeous buttttt, still single.

Hence why she was quite happy to move 12 hours away for me, well apart from all my other attributes of course
