In all seriousness, one of the few things that makes me hesitant about moving to SF is that it would be the third such city I've lived in (after Darwin and Perth).

The misogynistic language wasn't necessary. However, I believe that supply and demand applies roughly to dating markets. When one sex is in short supply, it is "bid up" by members of the other sex.

While my strategy has been to improve my own value, there's only so far that can go. I can also improve my outcomes by avoiding buyer's markets.
