Sex-Ratio Singles More and more women are finding themselves left out of the institution of marriage. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with these single women that a few more heterosexual men couldn't fix.

Throw in higher mortality rates for young men and you are left with something like 109 million straight women to 98 million straight men.
