When one reads the stuff about how there are a lot more single men are in Seattle in comparison to the number of single women, isn't this a bit screwed up because whoever did the statistics probably didn't take into consideration that Seattle has a large population of Gay men who are single, thus making it look like there are more available straight male singles than straight female singles in Seattle when that's probably not the case at all?

You're assuming there aren't any gay women here, and there are lots.

Besides, I've read on other forums many gay commenters complaining about the Freeze too. The problem is not with ratios, but with a culture that discourages social interaction.

I would wager a guess that the lesbian population is MUCH larger than the male gay population.

There are more live in gay couples in Seattle, then anywhere else in the USA, I read this somewhere some time ago...not sure if true not. I found this though....which is fine by me, just a statistic....

Seattle overtakes San Francisco as No.1 city for gay couples | FYI Guy | Seattle Times

In general there are more lesbian women than gay men, I am not sure if it is 2:1 or 3:1 ratio.. People may hate me or disagree with me for saying so, but I find there is not nearly as much stigma in women having homosexual relationships as men. So I am sure what you say is accurate.
