  1. 1. Date Onomics

    How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game

    A data-driven look at how sex-ratio imbalances—especially the surplus of college-educated women relative to men—reshape the dating landscape, leading to more casual relationships and delayed commitment in places where women outnumber men, and the opposite where men are more prevalent. Using demographic and economic analysis across campuses, cities, and religious communities, it explains how supply-and-demand dynamics influence behavior and expectations. It concludes with pragmatic advice for singles, including widening age and cultural preferences, considering relocation, and using data to target more favorable markets.
