I am betting this guy is spot on. There are some areas around the country where the dating market is utter trash.
This was true 24 years ago when I was there... I was married before I moved there, but was probably the only one my age that was married and had kids when out there.
Guys outnumbered girls a bazillion to 1, only single women I net when I was out there were ones I worked with, granted I wasn’t going out and partying at the bars etc, but It was pretty obvious odds were not in your favor, and because the ratio was so out of whack, girls knew they had the pick of the litter.
I compare it to girls on CMU campus here in Pittsburgh. The university of Pittsburgh and CMU are only a few blocks from each other, but on CMU campus at least back when I was in school in the 90s, the men outnumbered women easly 8 or 9 to 1 at CMU, as a result the girls at CMU didn’t really need to try, because they were in rare supply.. Pitt on the other hand, GOOD LORD, there are times I drive through Oakland to this day when the weather is nice, and the girls are out sunning themselves and I wonder how I ever managed to pass a class, let alone graduate.
