Is there a large imbalance? That's definitely not true in the US. (according to the census, there are more single women than men in the US, and the different is only about ~3% or so) https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/unmarried-single-americans-week.html https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/unmarried-single-ame... I think a lot of men focus on dating apps specifically (where the numbers actually are super imbalanced) which creates the perception of a large imbalance everywhere, a perception that isn't really true in general.

You are including over 50s. Every single major city in the USA has more men than women under 50. It’s specifically imbalanced in the west coast tech areas.

  I'm not sure where your getting this. According to the data, there's slightly more women (even if we scope it to just any single generation, let's say just millennials in NYC for simplicity - https://www.mynbc5.com/article/theres-a-reason-why-so-many-millennial-women-are-single/8566463 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/theres-a-reason-why-so-many-m... ) In my home state, for example, there's about 8% more single Women than Men. And there's a list of like two dozen medium-sized and major metros where this is true across the US (Pittsburgh, Boston, Detroit, Richmond and DC metro, etc) - https://www.movebuddha.com/blog/best-cities-single-men/ https://www.movebuddha.com/blog/best-cities-single-men/ Atlanta too, has more single women than men by a wide margin ( https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/atlanta/why-dating-in-atlanta-is-different-than-anywhere-else https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/atlanta/why-dating-i... ) Yes, the tech hub metros lean male-heavy (SF, Seattle, Austin, etc). But, generally speaking, most of the US is the opposite, so.
