Male to Female Ratio


Several of the guys on the show have talked about how Alaska has a lot more men than women. One said that there 10 men for every woman, another said it was three to one. That's a big exaggeration though, because while Alaska has the largest male to female ration, the actual number is something like 107 men to every woman. The national average is 96.9 women for every 100 men. Maybe the numbers are different for young, dating age women, I don't know. But the guys on the show seem to think there is a shortage of women.

That said, I'm surprised that every guy on the show seems so dead set against getting into a relationship. If women are a scarcity, doesn't it seem like at least one of them would want to lock down one of these girls to help keep him warm during the cold Alaskan nights?

Even more odd, if there are supposedly so many men available, why do the girls on this show choose to hang around with this particular set of guys? Doesn't it seem like they could find better?

You say 10 to 1 is an exaggeration, and then claim "the actual number is something like 107 men to every woman".
Now *that's* an exaggeration!
Surely you meant 107 men to every 100 women, yes?

Yes, that's what I meant to type. Good catch. My mistake.
