147, I for one, do not think you & yours are out of the loop. My husband and I also know quite a few older (over 30) singles. I’d say the proportion among our acquaintances is about equal between men & women.
Anyone interested in adding their vote to the discussion?
While there possibly may be a greater number of older single women, there are still a large number of men who have not succeeded in finding their better half as well. I would have to conclude that there is more at play here than simple demographic issues. There is definitely a great need to give the problem some realistic appraisal & study, instead of relying on simplistic solutions that may possibly do more harm than good.
