"The number of men and women in the world is roughly equal, though men hold a slight lead with 101 men for 100 women (in 2005). More precisely, out of 1,000 people, 503 are men (50.3%) and 497 are women (49.7%). For every 100 girls, 105 boys are born, but males have a higher risk of dying than females, both in childhood and at adult ages. So at a certain age, the numbers of men and women even out."

Generally speaking woman would out number men if nature took it's course. However, with selective abortions in China and India. I would imagine their going to be more men than women in the future.
In natural circumstances, more male embryos fail to be born. The XY pairing leaves them vulnerable to genetic diseases that kill them in the womb. Hence, a slightly higher number of female babies are born naturally.

I say more men because every woman seems to have a man and not every man has a woman. In less the same men have more than one girl and they just don't realize it.

More women, because the guys all die in war or some crime or anything. Mostly if u watch TV the people who u see dying are mostly men.

There are less women which makes them a more rare and valuable commodity.
