- There are only like 95 men for each 100 women in America.
- Because of this, lots of women are becoming "involuntarily single"*.
- A good 96 percent of the people in my class are married, engaged, or almost engaged.
- Perhaps I should not have taken this class.
interesting.

mara.
*THIS IS THE PHRASE THE BOOK ACTUALLY USED. I know you're probably all, "Come on, Mara." But is legit. Even I couldn't come up with jargon that hilariously fitting.

You are kind of funny.
And I miss you a lot.
do you think that that statistic is skewed because women live longer than men on average?
just trying to raise the morale of all us single ladies.
please don't spontaneously bust out in a rendition of beyonce after reading this.
you forgot the most life-changing part of class-
"ladies, as you get older the variety of men goes down"
thanks rudy.
now we are going to have to settle, assuming we are not in the five that are left over.
did you notice majority of those who were single were our friends?
k. i took that class too.
check this. i still have the book. female 20-24 yrs old. married. 25.3%. census 2000 data.
i'm not sure 'almost engaged' is even measureable.
check this site for more recent male:female ratios. it's actually 100.1 men: 100 women. seriously.
