In right wing schools the girls start dating around 19 and boys at aprox 22.5, it’s just not a “scientific” study.
It seems like you don’t realize that number of older single girls dwarfs the numbers of older single boys.
I’m not sure what in the world the census you quoted has anything to do with our discussion. The question is not how many boys/girls there are in the community. The question is not how many boys/girls are born each year.
The question IS how many boys girls enter the dating pool each year.
So long as we agree on population growth and that girls start dating at 19 vs. 22.5 for boys we have significantly more girls than boys entering the dating pool and thus a very significant number of girls without anyone to match up with.
