Bigger means more potential opportunities? Yes. More realized opportunities? No.
Yes it does. Mexico City has almost all the opportunities that the entire nation of Mexico offers, because of how much it is a primate city. London and Paris do the same thing.
If anything, Mexicans have more opportunities in Mexico City than Americans do in NYC, because NYC is not such a dominating factor in our country.
You don’t know how many opportunities you can “realize” until you have access to them. You lose that access being someplace else. And if you actively seek and involve yourself, there are many many more possibilities.
If you prefer smaller places then just say so, but to say there are equal opportunities is false.
Careful with that though- a lot of those higher ratios is merely because there are more 75+ year old women than men.
People who care about ratios are insecure people worried about competition. To women not having confidence like this is a red flag. Coming from a woman. Just go somewhere with an active young person scene and more nightlife and you should find someone. The only way you don’t is having some kind of unattractive quality that needs to be worked on.

You only need to meet a few dozen people and unless your filters are bizarre that does not require millions of people. So opportunities don't really matter, it's about time socializing. Opportunities for different bars? A play? What? For a non Mexican American, Mexico City is essentially a bunch of repeat once you get out of the center zones.
I can meet ladies much faster in Athens GA (college town) than I can in suburb Atlanta, concentration > total amount.

Ha, cute, but 100% wrong. You can be all the good catch you want to be, if there's no single people around you online or offline it doesn't make a difference at all what your 'quality' is. If she's taken, she's not dating you. Unless you've been a male trying to date in a military town, you wouldn't understand.
There's plenty more 20's and 30's men in Tampa / St. Pete than women. The gender imbalance is pretty noticeable. When you go to any meetup, you can expect 3-5 men for every woman.

I haven’t noticed this.
And… I’ve had no issues meeting/dating women here for that matter. If I go out with the intent of meeting someone, more often than not, I meet someone.

Again just have confidence in who you are. And other men aren’t a threat to you if you’re with a woman who’s worthwhile. You said that yourself “if she’s taken, she’s not dating you.’” Just be confident in who you are and have something to bring to the table.
You can meet women much faster in Atlanta. More women to meet that’s around in public. That’s how population works. Therefore, meeting them faster. In almost every town in the world, men outnumber women from infancy to about the 30s or so then women significantly outnumber men entering the golden years. Someone else already mentioned this. This is significantly more drastic in cultures that are heavily more sexist (China, India) where some of these traditions still even make it on US soil. So you’re never really gonna run into a good “ratio” except for the extreme oddball that is for whatever reason undesirable to men. This is rare since sexism doesn’t exist for men in the way that it does for women. For example, some places in the US are dominated by blue collar workers (oil towns, mining towns, farming, etc.) that even if women wanted to join that industry they face extreme uphill challenges. Some women do anyway, but other women want better treatment in the one life they live. So most women accumulate in big cities where there are other professional women to be friends with and better conditions for them in regards to working. This also includes military towns, not friendly to women. People often don’t want to live or work with people who are discriminatory to them, period.
So go where things are better for women. Like other marginalized groups, this deduces down to big cities with big companies over small mom and pops and blue collar jobs that have sexist traditions and not subject to many of the EEOC and other labor laws due to small company size. Here you’ll find more of them.
Places like Seattle and Denver still have a lot of blue collar (aerospace manufacturing, mining/O&G) in addition to tech, also known for being unfriendly to women as their dominating employers. IT is probably one of the more sexist white collar industries along with engineering and other STEM professions. So you want a big city with more friendly white collar industries. Good examples include DC and NYC. Boston is another popular city for women. Cities like this will probably be closer to a 50/50 balance in younger people, since you probably aren’t trying to date Betty White. In the golden years, women outnumber men probably closer to 4 to 1 or some other extreme difference. Nature finds a way to balance this.
