THE great man drought is now official:

it's never been harder for women in their 30s and 40s to find a decent
single bloke.

Latest census figures reveal the depth of Australia's gender imbalance.
Until the age of 30 there are many more men than women, but after the age of
30 the gender balance flips, with more women than men.

The 2006 census found 36,708 more men in their 20s than women. But there
were 14,726 more women than men in their 30s, and 22,567 more women in their
40s.

Sydney is particularly tough for women seeking a partner. In some areas such
as Mosman and Ku-ring-gai there are only 85 single men aged 25 to 35 for
every 100 single women of the same age.

In Byron Bay and Bellingen, single women aged 25 to 35 outnumber men 100 to
85. In Armidale and Dubbo, single women outnumber single men 100 to 97.

Demographer Bernard Salt said the imbalance was due to more men than women
dying in their 20s because they take physical risks. More men than women
aged in their late 20s and 30s also travel abroad to pursue careers.

"Mother Nature balances the genders by having 105 male to 100 female babies
born as boys have a higher mortality rate," Mr Salt said.

"Nature also supplies more boys so that they compete with each other for the
girls and only the strongest gets to pass on his genes. The answer is for
women to look where the boy pool is deepest - when [men] are in their 20s."

But many women felt uncomfortable looking for a younger man.

"Women are hard-wired to marry up. It is called hypergamy - the evolutionary
need for women to marry stronger, taller, richer, older men for security to
raise the children," he said.

Yvonne Allen, who has run a Sydney introduction agency for 30 years, said it
had never been harder to find partners.

"Successful women are very demanding in what they want in a partner. Perhaps
they should be looking for a man who will support them rather than match
them," she said.

Lija Jarvis, spokeswoman for Australia's biggest online dating service,
RSVP - which is owned by Fairfax, publisher of The Sun-Herald - said women
in their 30s to 50s found their old social networks had dried up, making it
tough to find a partner.

"We find single men in their 40s and 50s usually look for younger women. The
rule seems to be half their age plus seven," Ms Jarvis said.

"Now there are many women in their 30s, 40s and 50s happy to date younger
men. An older woman brings a lot of excitement and experience into the
relationship."

Anna Saunders runs speed dating service Fast Impressions. "Our toy boy
nights, where women in their 30s and 40s meet men in their 20s, are
booming," she said. "Women are putting their hand up saying 'I'm 40. I'm
hot. I'd like to meet younger men'."

Competition fierce but women willing to work it

RYAN Hannelly is 24 and glad to learn that once he hits 30 there will be
more women than men.

"I can't wait," he said after a Fast Impressions Speed Dating session. "I go
out to a club now and the place is packed with blokes. You try and chat up a
girl and there are a dozen men standing around."

Majella Turner, 33, said the problem with men was quality.

"Guys have such a large choice of women that they don't try hard. They
reckon there is always a girl around the corner."

Megan Morris, 26, is a medical student whose social circle is limited by
study and work. "It's hard to meet men in Sydney, but you have to work at
it," she said.

Karen Parker, 24, was puzzled by the statistical oversupply of men. "Where
are they hiding?"

Where are they hiding ? An interesting comment from another one of those
picky, self-interested sheilas..(female Australian).

Away from your lot that's for sure...

When you bitches get around to making a male friendly society, give us a
call.

Until then *** YOU.
