I don't want to misunderstand your math but I might be doing so.

55 men, 45 women 80% of the men are in stable relationships 80% x 55 men = 44 men 44 men with 44 out of 45 women leaves 1 woman remaining, 11 men remaining, for an even worse ratio of 11 free men to 1 woman.

Or did I follow you wrong?

It's 55 women and 45 men. Women now get more college degrees than men.

Got it, thank you. Missed that critical caveat.

:) Easy to get these things backwards when you're just glancing over things.

Think about it this way:

55 women & 45 men graduate. 15 of those women lasso 15 of those men within 5 years. That leaves 40 women to 30 men. 5 years later another 10 pair off. Now you have 30/20. The more pairs you make, the worse the ratio.
