Numbers Game?

National Geographic published a map that shows the gap in numbers between single men and women all across the US in 2007.

This map shows that the largest disparity between men and women exists in New York City. The east coast in general favors men. 

Whether or not you believe that odds have anything to do with finding love, you have to admit that it can make a difference in the number of quality people that are available to you.  When there are more women than men, guys are definitely at an advantage.  Especially when there are almost 200,000 more women than men.  Realizing this is the first step in taking advantage of the odds.   As much as I hate to point it out to the guys, I hope it will benefit those guys looking for something more than a fling.  

The situation is the same in the arts--there are ALOT more women than men in these organizations.  Women are much more willing to consider men that they wouldn't normally give a chance to when the odds are against them.  And this can be good for men because women are often willing to give men a second chance, even if they aren't initially attracted IF you have a good personality or sometimes if they think you might be well-off (sad but true).  And meeting at a Museum or gallery will give you more of a chance to have a meaningful conversation with a woman so that she can get to know you on a deeper level.
