Found this while surfing Digg.com: The Singles Map.
Apparently in the Feburary issue of National Geographic they gave a map with relative sizing comparing the numbers of single men and single women in major cities. Apparently us men like it out West and are still trying to strike the gold of 1857, while the women are more interested in staying back East.
There are some interesting comments on that page as well.
Oh, and in case anyone needs a paper shredder, here is a hamster shredder. Thrown in for random fun.

This should be good. I'm in a solid red state. Oh Ladies, where are you? (crickets chirping)
Maybe I'll try again later!

In the last presidential election, Terry McCauliffe said, "We're going to make Ohio a BLUE state."
Alas, the state in which I live seems pretty darn RED.
Woe is me.
As for the hamster . . . all I can say is he made his bed, and now he has to lie in it.

I have a fairly large blue dot in my area. Yet I dont see many "date-able" blue dots around. And where are the christian blue dots?? 
That's odd. I didn't see Venus on the map!? are you not being quite truthful with us? Or maybe you're from Venus, TX (I was assuming the planet, sci-fi geek that I am)

According to one map, I live in a blue county in a red state. According to this map, I live just outside a city with a big red dot. However, there's a small blue dot just to the south. I wonder whether that's my county or another nearby locality.

Okay I looked at the map. I saw a huge blue dot near my home........excitment began as I thought of all those men.....then I noticed yet another big blue dot in my state...........starting to rise from my seat to jump for joy I paused and looked again.......I wasn't mistaken......with a deflated heart I sank back into my seat........The the two locations ,of the big blue dots, included the two biggest MALE STATE PRISONS..... 
YIKES! You better relocate!

And me, being the sci-fi geek that I am...was meaning the planet as well. But if that is the case then there are no men here as they are all from Mars!
Truth be told I live Texas...near the big blue dot! 
Haha, that'll confuse 'im. There's THREE big blue dots in Texas. 
BTW, I must say that Weston looks excellent in the new avvy!
It's an interesting map, anyhow. If I was in the US, it might even be handy... Of course, I'm not.

Hard to believe that there's more single men in my area. The researcher's data must be skewed!

This is just a tad irritating. My entire country is missing. On the other hand, I notice that there are a lot of smallish red dots in the Bible Belt. That sound like a good combination to any other guys around here?
