Slim pickings in the Vail Valley. Send the extras over here!
Mormon single women in Utah. Time for some hard choices to make in 2012.
#1: Make the decision to move out of state. (Even if you find a guy who might be deemed by others as "celestial material," the cultural trends across the board --Mormon and non-Mormon -- is that guys in their 20s are waiting to marry).
#2: You might need to simply leave the faith if you want to marry and "settle down." (Look for a Christian guy in another church...after all...more and more Lds publications reference Lds as "Christians, too"...if Lds are "Christians" and if Christians are Christians, hey, what's the difference?)
#3: If you're a Mormon single woman and you're over 30, things are even worse:
A BYU Web site, citing a Goodman and Heaton study, was rather forthright about this reality:
Furthermore, single LDS men and women are "mismatched on salient demographic characteristics. Single women over 30 have higher levels of education, occupation, and Church activity than single men. For example, never-married women over 30 are more likely to have four years of college (42 percent compared to 18 percent for never-married men) and professional occupations (70 percent compared to 38 percent)" (Goodman and Heaton, pp. 90-91). Goodman and Heaton conclude that "marriage to an active male is demographically IMPOSSIBLE for many active single females over 30. And even when there are available males, they may possess other characteristics that rule them out as potential mates.” (p. 91)

(You do know what "impossible" means, right?
We could fix the trade imbalance figures by selling the extra women to China. About 18 million men with no available females I hear... ;-)
Lots of this going on now—the only thing—we marry them one at a time then split, rather than all at once. Its called divorce and Jesus was against it back in Bible Times.
Women from Vail? You couldn't afford one.......
