so this explains it

i haven't checked the validity of this map, but i think it illustrates a key frustration shared by many of my friends... i'll admit, mostly girls. the orange dots stand for single women and the blue dots for single men. yes, it is basically the new red-state blue-state map for me.

but, to me, the most interesting fact of this map is the numbers listed on the two coasts - 185,000 more single females on the east coast, and 40,000 more single men on the west coast. the disparity is even more glaring when you think that there are nearly 150,000 more single women in the major cities. just one less indicator that the cards really are stacked against us.
