Where have all the men/women gone?

Contradictory stories coming out of Australia recently

One part trying to encourage ugly women to move in to town because of a surplus of lonely men

Another part of the country suffering from a man drought, as all eligible men flee to more exciting climes

Actually the population figures look quite ordinary. 105 boys born for every 100 girls. Men retain their majority until retirement age, when lonely widows predominate

Result – a slight majority for women as a whole

As is the case for pretty much every country in the world, except India & China

Still, that’s not news, is it
