- MrFoof 16y agoAdditionally, don't most countries have more men than women? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_ratio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_ratio
- burgerbrain 16y agoNo, just the opposite. Most countries have more women than men. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sex_ratio_total_population_per_country_smooth.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sex_ratio_total_population...

- roel_v 16y agoOnly at birth. Men die faster than women, so most countries in the world have more women than men.
- jhamburger 16y agoBottom line, it's still 30 million guys not getting laid (or married, at least). I think this is an instance where the raw number is important.
- usaar333 16y agoBut given that it's only a 3% difference, can't another possible trend just be men waiting slightly later for marriage and marrying slightly younger women?
- jhamburger 16y agoTheres still not enough women to go around. The ponzi scheme collapses sooner or later.
- Joakal 16y agoDownplaying it like a percent doesn't change the fact that there are 30 million men than women in a few generations. This was a result of (typically rural) parents determined to have males under the one-child policy. Why? Males are seen as better than females in returning honour, wealth and more to the families. My original point was that equality should begin from start where infanticide shouldn't be allowed in this regard.
