I read somewhere recently that, because single women in New York City greatly outnumber single men, the magazine Time Out New York is devoting a whole issue to subject.

Do you agree that single women by and large outnumber single men? What's it like to be single where you live? Do single women outnumber single men in your city? Or is it the other way around?

You can read Time Out New York's article at: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/article/613/8789/single-minded

In my area, which is Silicon Valley, CA, the single men now outnumber single women. There have even been articles in the Internet to that fact. This area draws a lot of engineers, and people qualified in the high tech skills, and there are few women who go into engineering, so...lots of men have come here. LOL, there are several lunch spots near where I work, delis and the like, that I have nicknamed "no woman's land" because if you go in these places during lunch, the whole place will be table after tables of parties of all men, and not a single female in the whole place. I get my food to take out, in that case. Then there is the Zanotto's neighborhood market near where I live, and in the hours after work and on weekends, all a woman who wanted a date would have to do, would be to just get out of her car and stand there in Zanotto's parking lot and she would be hit on. =:O

LOTS of single men here.

Except we have the highest per capita population of gay men in the country.

Single and straight? Ummmmm....I think there's this one guy....

I don't know the exact numbers, but I feel like it's pretty evenly matched here.

Maybe I'll move to Silicon Valley. :)

I'm glad to hear Time Out is going to devote a whole issue to that topic, since I'm a subscriber, single, and living in NY City....and yes, the single women here far outweigh the single men. Take the already low # of single men, and weed out the ones who aren't players, substance abuses, unemployed, have more baggage than an airport,or refuse to date you if you're anything over a size 2, and we are left with maybe 10 or 11 on the entire island of Manhattan. Definitely not the place to be if you're a single woman looking for a relationship, I've just learned to accept it, and try to enjoy the city for all the great things it has to offer, even if eligible, worthwhile men isn't one of them.
