Who Outnumbers Who? (dating, movies, women, single)

[DavieJ89]

In your hometown, do single women outnumber single men, or do single men outnumber single women

Here in Orlando, single men outnumber single women at least 4:1

Why is there such a skewed ratio in Orlando?

This is based on my own observations that in supermarkets, at the movies, at bars and clubs, there are always WAY MORE single men than women

You can tell who is single simply by looking at them? That is quite a talent.

I find that very hard to believe. I realize it may "feel" that way to you, but unless you have data, I'm going to call B.S.

You'd have to be in a remote oil field or Alaskan fishing village to find a sex ratio that skewed. It's almost unheard of.

More likely, if it's even skewed at all, it's something like 55/45 or maybe 60/40 in an extreme case. Even that would be enough to be quite noticeable in the dating market.

Indeed. Maybe he means men are more likely to go places by themselves?

Rampant polygamy?

According to census data, 51% of Orlando's population is women. So if there is only 1 single woman for every 4 single men, what happened to the other 3+ single women?

There isn't Ruth. The OPs observations are incorrect, viewed through skewed eyes.
