A disturbing info from Men's Health Magazine

[gogidolim]

According to the mag, there are seven single women for every square mile in America. I know that much of American soil is unoccupied, but this is a disturbing news. Seriously, 100% of I met are with somebody. I don't think I've actually talked to a single girl for a while. All the women I encountered, I mean all of them, were either married or in relationship.

So I guess the article is genuine. :(

[Bill]

Well, there are over 3.5 million square miles in the U.S. That ends up as about 25 million single women. Honestly, once I manage to get a career started, I kinda like my chances.

I suppose we should get that hidden male forum on CA up and running at some point...

[chriskot]

Wikipedia says the population density of the USA is 31 people per square kilometre.
Converting to the imperial system, this gives us 80.3 people per square mile.
Assuming half of all Americans are female, this means 40.1 women per square mile.
7 divided by 40.1 is 0.175, therefore, if Men's Health Magazine is to be trusted, 17.5% of American women are single.

That's a little less than 1 in every 5. Doesn't seem all that low, although these numbers are incredibly rough. Now if you had the breakdown by age, we could then apply the "divide by two and add seven" rule or something like that to determine a better value based on those within your approximate age range. Assuming that the same number of adult women are single at any given age, we can apply that rule and get a result somewhere between 1 in 10 and 1 in 15. Still not terrible. Probably closer to 1 in 10 because you're still on the younger end of the spectrum and it seems pretty safe to say that there are more singles in their 20's and 30's than in their 70's.

Anyway, SCREW STATISTICS. They're too approximate and simple to be much use in a case like this anyway. I just did all that because I like the math. For all you know these single women could be looking at the stats for single men and having similar worries. Forget about it.

If she is single you have to compete with the whole world. If she is taken, you only have to compete with one person.

You're welcome.

[yvescy]

reading through this gave me some good laughs. nice responses guys.

[Zord]

Does it really matter? Time spent looking for a significant other could be spent drawing... just sayin'.

[Arshes Nei]

I usually tell a guy I'm not attracted to that I'm taken.

[Interceptor]

If she is single and she's the kind of girl who would leave a good relationship with her current boyfriend for you. Then you are ALWAYS at risk of having someone steal her from you. Hitting on a girl who has a guy is seriously low class anyways.

[gogidolim]

Right. I don't want to steal a girl from a guy. I am a very non-confrontational person. And I don't want any drama, either.

I was just thinking about that yesterday.

[PsiBug]

In the United States, there's an average of only seven single women between the ages of 20 and 44 per square mile

Men's health has unfairly weeded out the Cougars!

[DavePalumbo]

I remember hearing a few years ago that in Alaska the ratio of men to women (single or otherwise) was something like 13:1. The women had a saying along the lines of "the odds are good, but the goods are odd"

[kidult]

Mens health is run by women, dont believe what they tell you....they want to make you desparate!!

[Straight Edge Ryan]

I don't really see a chick with a boyfriend as "unavailable" I prefer to see her as "in need of convincing"

Hey let's have another thread that makes us penis monsters all look really creepy :sungod:

[Katfayheirti]

'Suddenly all of these posts about the lack of relationships! Is there something about the end of summer that makes art boys lonely?

[s.ketch]

Then you are ALWAYS at risk of having someone steal her from you.

Not if you're an alpha male.

I wanted to say something clever, but it pales in comparison to this.

[revenebo]

gogidolim As always the problem arises with the imperial system of measurement. If you convert to metric you'll find there are no single women in the US...

[Android]

too bad they cant be geographically spread out like that,

if you are young and the girl of your dreams is in a relationship, all you need is patience and good timing.

[Nrx]

i love these threads :drinkup:

[Nateman742]

Not if you're an alpha male.

So what do I do if I'd prefer to love my woman, and not just fuck her and buy her things?

Yes, there are many women available...

Im with Android on that one. I wont rant about my situation but It pretty much what he said.

[Katfayheirti]

Mad Cross, I don't want to argue with you, but I think the lounge should be a friendly place and I find that image rather insulting to women in general. It implies that the only value women have is in their appearance and that only a certain small subsection of women (the extremely beautiful) should have any value at all. It's rather depressing.

[Ryn]

Does it really matter? Time spent looking for a significant other could be spent drawing... just sayin'.

Or you can find a significant other who doesn't mind if you spend all day working. You can be an artist without excluding everything else from your life and being lonely. :)

[s.ketch]

It's sad that you think the majority of women aren't extremely beautiful. I beg to differ.

[VulgarDragon]

Well, Katfayheirti, I'm sorry you found it insulting...it wasn't my intent to insult you or anyone else. Rather, I wanted to make a point...that there are actually many single and lonely women out there and it's ridiculous that guys are passing up decent women just because they aren't perfect. Okay, I guess it wasn't a good way to put it...sorry...I didn't think people would be insulted by pictures of happy, overweight women who are obviously having fun.

Okay, to even the odds...

in that case its not the image that offends you but your own interpretation of it.
over analyze anything for too long and it will end up pissing you off. i just see it as a dumb joke image without the profound sub meaning you see in it.

remember your talking about people who add captions to ridiculous animal photos.

[Max Challie]

A lot of the posts here seem to be based on the idea of having a relationship for oneself. Seems like altruistic love is a rare thing.

[plunder bunny]

If that is really the amount of single women out there, what about the women who are taken. Who are they taken by? men. So the same goes for men, there are only 7 single men per square kilometer..

...and that is assuming everyone is straight.

[Zord]

Yes you're right. And who said I was lonely? ;)

I've been on the pursuit side and the hermit-artist side of things and prefer a combination of both... better to just go with the flow and let things happen.

[onionface]

so if there are 7 spare women per mile, what is the percentage of datable/scorable ones,
do they count girls under 18? and whats the cap on this number. do 80 year old widowers count too? are they good looking? do they count mentally challenged people, or what about lesbians.

I agree with the picture of the large women and men. lower your standards and increase your chances. that's no way to live. someone is offended by a picture of fatty women?
everything in life you choose by it's visual appeal, food, cars, houses, people are the same, if you didn't immediatly seperate and classify every person you see then you wouldn't be human, or you would be counter productive to the species. It's perfectly normal to want a healthy breeding partner, yes that means that she can't be morbidly obease. And if you think you cant judge character by appearance, please read the writings of Paul Eckman.

still in the end it doesn't matter, I do just fine. but then I'm not in America. dun dun dun

[daestwen]

I've got a statistic.

95% of woman are unknowingly lesbians, because they haven't met me yet.

The other 5% already know...

Meow.



ps. that little guy in green spandex is awesome.


as for the guys who are still single... expand your horizons? There are probably plenty of other single men... ;]

[ShotgunTony]

if a person is single theres generally a reason for it and for a very very small percentage that reason is choice

for everyone else its probably because your too needy, stinky, ugly, fat, stupid, you live with your parents, or people just cant stand to be around you because of your personality.

Wow, talking about yourself here I see.
I think the OTHER single people are actually those who have finished a relationship and not yet met the person with whom they are going to be in a relationship with next. Or they haven't been in a relationship YET. Because I never knew anyone who was born dating.
I actually know a lot of needy, stinky, ugly, fat, stupid, living with their parent people who are in a relationship so that can't be it.

maybe but im not the one alone, online asking how to pick up girls, or asking relationship advice from strangers ill likely never meet now am i.

you may not like me, or the things i have to say but that doesn't make them any less true and usually when things strike a nerve its because they hit a little close to home.

but you know you can toss out personal insults and call names and whatnot but it doesnt change anything it only deflects and at the end of the day if your single and lonely theres probably a reason for that situation.

you people need to lighten up, go get laid why dont yah.

[Daniel Andrews]

Haha The Little Person in front is the village leader from the Movie "Willow".
Couldn't resist pointing that out.

I'm thankful that I receive female stares more than enough, which makes me proud on how I look. And some gay men also have stared, which me makes me wonder.

Eh, I think that even lighthearted jokes can have profound meanings. After all, they are a reflection of our culture. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy them. I just think that we should also remember the societal implications of our laughter and understand why we may find something funny. :drinkup:

wuh? and I am?

i only say it how i see it.

[velderia]

Maybe you can just try being bi for a while. Enjoying both ends of the boat can be quite nice.

[Straight Edge Ryan]

well no offense Tony, but it kinda sounded like you said "I try to stay away from hot girls, but they're just too attracted to me, and who am I to crush a young girls dreams of being with a handsome man like me?" Which I can see would make a lot of people go "pfffffft"

With that said, I have to keep a cattle prod with me cause bitches be mad for my handsomeness

[Ilaekae]

If I could just get across to all of you peons how horrible it is to hide constantly because teenage cheerleaders are trying to tie one spred-eagled to stakes and run their chocolate-covered fingers through one's beard. THE HOERRRRROER!

[Max Challie]

any numbered statistic can be easily manipulated.

oh and i agree with Zord's last post :)

[Rist]

We could name the hidden forum "Male Sexuality". Will get rid of some of the other posts we've had in the past too.

[Crane]

If she is single you have to compete with the whole world. If she is taken, you only have to compete with one person.

You're welcome.

What if that one person means the world to her?

baDOW!

[TASmith]

"Maybe you can just try being bi for a while. Enjoying both ends of the boat can be quite nice."

This just triggered a funny memory. So, in highschool, I used to carpool with this kid who was very macho, and a bit crazy - as in he'd get really angry if he thought another driver was staring, and yell at her. He was a chauvenist, constantly talking of drunk girls passing out at parties, that kind of thing. So, one day, we were discussing AIDS in the car, and he said something really surprising. He said, "I don't blame the gays, that's ridiculous. God didn't do that." For a second I thought this kid might really be enlightened, at least on this one subject. Maybe he could actually realize that diseases occur randomly and it's lunacy to assign blame. Then he went on, "It's the fucking bisexuals we oughta kill, for bringing it over to the straight folk." I've never seen a more perfect example of logic bound by stupidity.

[B-Man]
