How does the gender ratio affect dating and gender relations in general?

It’s a economic question, simply supply and demand. Value of a person becomes the analog for price, and elasticity decreases for the party with excess supply.

China is a good case study, since there has been so much historical female infanticide. Human traffickers have been supplying southeast Asian “wives” to Chinese men in droves. There is a huge market for egirls and other single man cope technology.

I've lived in a city (city 1) wherein the gender ratio was skewed in favor of dudes, and another (city 2) wherein the gender ratio was skewed in favor of women. It made a world of difference, in both OLD and IRL. In city 1 women were a lot thirstier, a lot more available, and my tinder blew the fuck up.

In city 2 it kind of sucks. I can still make it work, but everything about myself has improved vastly over where I was in city 1, and I'm still not doing anywhere near as well as I was in city 1.

It sort of opened my eyes to how relative this is, and sort of how fruitless these discussions are if not controlling for ratios, demographics, subculture etc.

It's possibly the most important factor.Female dominated colleges have a hookup culture ,since the men have more power ,while colleges with more men have a relationship-centric dating scene ,since women have more power.

There are no incels in a nursery course.

It depends on the men and women in question. I went to a women's college that was closely associated with a co-ed school and the female-ratio for the two-college community was 3-1. It did not mean that the women were chasing desperately after the men. It meant that the women just focused on other things, mainly their studies, since my college is known for its workaholic population.

Colleges are a good example of this: any STEM based college where it's 60%+ guys (Caltech, MIT) you see more monogamy and men trying hard to lock down a girl; you get almost the exact opposite at a private liberal arts college 60%+ girls - men having many partners and not staying loyal to one girl.

You get china, where there are 3/2 men to 1 woman. Basically the men leave the country in droves to go look for a wife.

The same thing would happen in any country. Globalization has radicalized how we see shortages.

It's huge, what people really don't understand how AGE preference makes the effective gender ratios alot worse than they are.

For a 22-year-old male who just graduated college he has to compete with men up to 30s and beyond for girls his age, this effectively makes the gender ratio 2:1 or maybe even 3:1, since most women don't want to date younger men, and women younger than him are usually locked away in a college social circle.

And of course those men he's competing with have the benefit of experience and haven't yet been hampered by physical aging, especially if he's in an urban area where most people keep in shape.

It doesn't. Even if there were 100 women for every man, if those men were 5'7, then most men would still have the same dating experience as now.

If there were more women, it would just mean Chads get even more sex. Average men would still have the same terrible luck.

It won't stop women being hypergamous.

churnthrowaway123456 · 2019-12-04T12:06:07+00:00

It's the single most important factor. If you struggle with dating, you should seriously consider moving to somewhere that the gender ratio is in your favor (examples are NYC and Atlanta for men, any random suburb or rural area or tech hub like Silicon Valley for women)

More men are naturally born than women, because male mortality is higher.

More women live than men, because women's life expectancy is higher.

But at reproductive age, the percentage of men and women is the same.

In nature, the surplus of men die too young, and the surplus of women is too old to make babies.

If there were an advantage on making more female child than males, then evolution would had made humans that have more daughters than sons. It would make sense, because daughters are almost guaranteed to have their own children, but men don't.

But nature makes the same number of men and women, because, even when males have a risk of not having children, the ones that success, make a lot more babies than a woman would do.

So, the equal number of men and women do not implies monogamy. Daughters are a safe bet, and men are high risk/high reward. It is just a mathematical accident that the best bet is to make the same number of males than females.

Making the same number of children of each sex, means that males have a 50% probability of becoming fathers, and a 50% probability of dying without any child.

That's verified by DNA: half of men that existed are absent in human DNA, but we have the DNA of most women that existed.
