Then there’s what to do about it, from what college to attend (any with strong sciences and math), to where to hang out (in New York, try a firemen’s bar), to where to live (Colorado, San Jose, Seattle), to embracing the power of the marriage ultimatum-it works. He reaches back to explore the origins of the college gender gap-a combination of the pill, Title IX, and developmental differences between boys and girls.
Birger shows how this unequal ratio explains the college and post-college hookup culture the decline in marriage rates even the seemingly paradoxical problem that the more attractive the woman is, the more difficult it can be for her to find a partner. And this numbers game has wider implications.
Among young college grads, there are four women for every three men nationwide, except in those pockets, like Silicon Valley, where the economy is driven by a primarily male job market. The shortage of college-educated men is not just a big-city phenomenon frustrating women in New York and L.A. Using a combination of demographics, game theory, and number crunching, financial and tech journalist Jon Birger explains America’s curiously lopsided dating and marriage market-and what every single, college-educated, heterosexual woman needs to know.Ĭall it the man deficit. Using a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and number-crunching, Date-onomics tells what every single, college-educated, heterosexual. Theres a reason why there are so many incredible, successful, beautiful women who struggle to find a decent partner, while (cough mediocre) men seem to have no problem on the dating scene, and were deep diving into the data behind this frustrating phenomenon with Jon Birger, author of Date-Onomics and the upcoming book Make Your Move. It’s not that he’s just not that into you-it’s that there’s not enough of him.
