Why does there seem to be way more single men than single women nowadays if the ratio between the sexes are still nearly equal?

[MCheetah]

I'm not sure if I worded this question properly, but I tried to. Basically, so many men don't meet modern women's super-high criteria of being "good enough" to date or be in a relationship with. Let's be kind and say 50% of men aren't "good enough" for modern women.

So if half or more of men seemingly aren't dating right now, then why doesn't it seem like half of all women are also single? It seems like only 20-25% of modern single women are available on the market, as opposed to 50-60% of single men.

This is taking into account the extremely high number of non-straight, non-hetero (queer) women that now exist as well, although non-straight women don't seem to greatly outnumber their gay male counterparts.

There's only two logical conclusions that come to my mind: 1) Polyamory, and all the attached men are cheating on their partners with the non-dating women in that missing gap of singles. Or there's way more single women out there than it seems, and we just never hear about them. I sure never do. I just hear women who bounce from one relationship to another, but are never single for longer than six months.

Could be area you live. There are major deviations from 50/50 by city or area. As you hit an age where most people are married or in a relationship it leaves a very skewed dating pool.

are you in a large city or more rural? And what sort of industries if a city?

[MCheetah]

I've lived in large-largeish cities my whole life, yeah. Philadelphia, New York, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Daejeon South Korea, and currently Seoul.

Tell me about it! If there are more women then men, you would think there would not be as many single guys 🙄

[Jjpayne]

Thank you for the mho 😊

[mindNsoul]

need to see statistics supporting the argument. Every man in my family, work or contact is married. So I don't know what are you talking about.

I feel guys look more to have fun with many relationships in the beggining and then marry. We I feel usually look for steady relationships

[hahahmm]

1. Men complained about this when they’re younger. Women mostly complain when they’re older
2. Women often are in a relationship they don’t consider serious but they ‘forgot’ to tell the guy that & he thinks it’s serious so even some of the guys who think they’re in a relationship are not. So hard to count.

I think that it is because single men tend to stay single longer then single women, giving the impression that it is more common for a man to be single then a woman.

[SClassWizzard]

I don't know why he asks this, obviously its whole lot easier for a woman to find somebody, or get laid lol

[hellionthesagereborn]

@SClassWizzard Well I think its reasonable given that we are basically even in numbers, the issue is that those who are getting it tend to get it a lot and those who don't, don't. Hence the difference in how long men are single compared to women (the 80/20 rule).

You ask this question every hour on the hour. You won't get a different response so give it up bro.
