Men in Fort Lauderdale have a really good shot at finding a smart woman to date—better than any other city in the country, in fact.All that means, though, is that college-educated women in Fort Lauderdale have the worst dating odds in America, according to data interpreted by writer Jon Birger, which he collected from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.Birger, an author and journalist, released a book last week about why it’s hard for educated women in the United States to find dates with equally educated men. Called “Date-onomics:
How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game,” the book is basically a statistics manual for dating.Washington Post reporter Ana Swanson summarized Birger’s findings as follows: “The main idea is that women have been attending college at much higher rates than men since the 1980s.”In an interview with The Washington Post, Birger discussed how the gap between college-educated men and women has become extremely disparate—so much so, that right here in Fort Lauderdale, there are 171 college-educated women for every 100 college-educated men between the ages of 22 and 29.Use the above source link to see the entire story!
