If You’re A Single Woman…Move the F*ck Outta Washington, DC

As luck would have it, if you’re single and a woman in Washington, DC, you’re lucky enough to stay single…for quite some time. According to a recent article in Bloomberg, the District of Columbia is a shitty ass place to find a man. Don’t take my word for it…. Check the stats.

Washington has the highest ratio of women to men compared with all 50 states — 112 females for every 100 males, Census Bureau figures show. Among residents between ages 20 and 39 in the city of 601,723, women outnumber men by 13,716, up from about 6,000 a decade ago, according to census data. Speed-dating events for singles with professional degrees sell about 50 percent more tickets here than in most other U.S. cities, according to the head of one social networking group. People marry so late in life that Washington has more infertility experts than most places, said one sociologist.

So why can’t Washington women find a man?

1. The job market…the city has lots of jobs and more women are likely to move to DC.  

2. DC has a bunch of youngins. Washington’s population became younger over the last decade.

3. DC is composed of a bunch of work-a-holic, women (myself included). Unlinke other cities, women join men and climbing the corporate ladder and spending lots more time on furthering their careers, literally.
