In NYC, there are more single women than men, IIRC.
In the DC area, it's very much the other way around. Of course, fully half of them are airheads looking for their chance to monicate some important politician, while working in menial jobs for insignificant pay.
The question is, does any guy in his right mind want to be with some deep-as-a-bird-bath chicklet like some of these urban loserettes? The bizarre thing is that as they age and their options decline, their flakiness, bitchiness and dictatorial tendencies increase, until they're 42, living with two cats, childless, without prospects and just plain miserable to be around. (Which is a lot better than arriving at that emotional point whn married to you, I suppose).
An interesting take on this phenomenon is found in the Ross in Range columns of John Ross (yes, the John Ross, for you gun-culture types), particularly #s 3, 14, 24, and 28, which probably ought to be read in that order.
