>Many women, at least by my anecdotal experience, see sex as something that they give up, and are expected to, after certain checkpoints in a dating relationship.
This is absolutely absurd and I don't know what kind of women you are hanging out with. I've had frank honest women to women discussions about sex and relationships and this sentiment has never come up. EVER.
>I mention Manhattan for a reason: it's got an unbalanced gender ratio and the highest percentage of single men in the country
This is absolutely false.

>The men were upset they weren't having sex. The women date, and have sex if they want, but are somewhat resentful about it because they'd rather settle down.
The survey I presented above does not support this.
Here's a better writeup

and here's another:

Nearly 43 percent of single black men said they’re looking for a long-term partner that can eventually lead to marriage. That’s according to a new poll of nearly 1,100 African-Americans out today from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health.
The survey asked questions about a wide range of topics, including communities, finance and dating. Respondents between 18 and 49 years old who were divorced, widowed or never married were asked whether they were currently seeking a long-term romantic commitment. Roughly half of the men said yes; just a quarter of the women said the same.

I've had frank honest women to women discussions about sex and relationships and this sentiment has never come up. EVER. YMMV. Among other occasions, I was just talking about this subject with my wife the other day, based on her conversations with some of her friends. I should note that I've also spent nearly my whole life in cities listed on your first link as being one with the highest ratio of single women to single men. > This is absolutely false. Using your own data, New York City is #4 on the list for the highest ratio of single women to single men, and from the tumblr link you can see that Manhattan skews more heavily towards single women then New York City as a whole. On top of there being fewer men in Manhattan to begin with, a higher percentage of those men have never been married: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/09/new_yorkers_not_getting_married.php http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/09/new_yorke....
