I contend that there is ALWAYS a shortage of men, and ALWAYS a SURPLUS of women. People keep pointing to the statistic that there is a 1:1 male to female ratio, but we are not talking about just this. Rather, it is about eligibility. A good portion of men are incarcerated, another good portion are too poor to get married, another good portion are gay, another good portion don't want to get married, another good portion are sinful fornicators, etc.
