Hmm..I think I differ with that statement. I'm pretty sure there are lots of singles out there, the problem is that everyone in today's society has really high expectations for their 'significant other'. And if that person doesn't fulfill all 476 points on their check list, then they don't qualify as a potential. Lol. But if you really think about, when the check lists are thrown outta the window, that's when you really open your eyes and realize that there's a bunch of different prospects out there. Depends on whether you're a risk-taker or you prefer to play it safe. I've noticed the safe ones stay single for long periods of time. I say, take the plunge, go out there, meet people and so what if someone doesn't meet everything you initially thought you wanted in a man/woman...they might teach you a thing or two about what should have actually been on that list versus what's actually on there. :) No singles left to mingle?

In the sense that your sample space of available women is based on pure publicly available statistics. It does not help women like to keep this part of their lives secret in spite of Yudhistira's curse. Also, I have a gripe that our south indian women are extremely defensive for no real reason (at least not apparent to the poor men like me). koDumai wonly. ---<em> me: gotta pick up your game!</em> Your analysis is fairly optimistic, I must say.

I don't know even one single girl who doesn't complain about all kinds of "unworthy guys" that are hitting on her. Whereas when a guy complains that there are no girls, it's genuinely a matter of not finding any girls that would accept let alone reciprocate his advances! Part of the problem is that guys between 24-28 typically used to go for girls 21-24 (obv coz few girls are single between 24-28), and the girls in the latter demographic used to be more or less single as well, until recently, when it seems like there has been a substantial increase in the number of same-age hookups. Therefore you have guys 21-28 competing for girls who are 21-24! Please look out for a NS post on this topic. ---<em> me: Aah the wise man speaks!</em> @maami: IMO, when girls complain that there are no guys, it’s just them being super picky!

LOL. well with the number of girls waiting for their Mr.Right it seems a bit unbelievable that there are no single girls left. and with the increasing mingling sites.. it shouldn't have been that difficult. look at the brighter side the girls have twice the choice than before. ;-) and agreeing with you i still feel that female foetocide that has been going on has really caused this imbalance. which will take about half a century to balance it again even if we start today. ---<em> me: Yes yes women have all the choice wonly!</em> you added P.S to avoid e-hugs..

With all this blogging, social networking sites, perceived liberal atmosphere, platforms to meet and mingle, why do the young still say, "Where have all the guyz/gurlz gone"?
