Single Female to Single Guy ratio in NYC?

Question

Recently, I heard that women in ny are complaining there is a serious single straight male shortage in Manhattan?! Is this True. So my question goes to both single males and females
Does anyone have any statistics about the single female to single guy ratio??

For the guys- How do you like being single in Manhattan?? Do you love it, what are the pros and cons?? As a single male, do you feel outnumbered or do you feel there are plenty of single women out there??
For The women- How do you like being single in Manhattan?? Do you love it, what are the pros and cons
Do you feel you are outnumbered, or do you feel there are plenty of attractive quality single straight male in Manhattan??

I once lived in Chicago where the single guy to single female ratio is close to 3 or 4 to 1, meaning you have 3 to 4 guys fighting for every girl, not fun!!!

Answer 1

the Ratio is greater than one, but the problem is that most women are looking for a guy that doesn't exist!!

Back when I was single, there was a group of girls that I was friends with that had the "two rule". They wouldn't date anyone who made less than $200,000. Needless to say, 6 of 8 of them are now 35 and still single. The guys makling less than $200K are now are married to women that didn't have this rule, and the ones making more than $200K that are still single are all looking for women younger than 30. Successful women have a problem dating men that make less than them (not just the man's problem) and men that make too much money just want to fool around with multiple women (and since there are enough women just after money, they can do this).

If you have your head on straight, you can find a nice mate in NYC. Just have to not get caught up in the money thing (BTW, I now think the younger girls hav the "three rule")

Answer 2

In NYC it's all about status. Yes, there are more single women than men, yet as far as job status, it's equal. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of highly successful professional women in Manhattan. Sad to say, they are having a tough time, though, meeting available highly successful men.
