You could probably look at the under 15 ratio as a ceiling - in the vast majority of the countries I checked, the ratio improves with age, due to different mortality rates but also probably migration patterns (i.e. men leaving the country for work).

I was just about to ask: did anyone else notice the ratios for under 15 and at birth? All have positive male ratios. The future looks...competitive.
This shouldn't be that surprising, nature always has produced more males at birth due to the fact that we die more often then females ( take more risks, more violent, active, etc), even at a young age and they live longer lives. Through survival of the fittest that ratio usually evens out to about 1:1 by around age 21 or so and by the time women are out of their prime fertility years, 40+ there are typically a surplus of women. Of course the women are not desirable then, but any geriatric guy with viagra should be swimming in pussy.
Correct. Historically, the ratio at birth has been about 105:100, males:females, but that was usually because infant mortality and general mortality was higher among boys than girls. We've brought down both, and boys even more so, so that the ratio doesn't become even until much later, if ever. The blog Ratio Factor (
http://ratiofactor.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html ) and this article (
http://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2009/08/...women.html ) have some interesting discussion about it.
Ratio Factor also puts some blame on divorced men. Divorced men get back into the market, whereas divorcees don't as much. In nightlife in particular, Ratio Factor says older unmarried men are a big contributor to bad ratios, because while men and women in their 20's go out to bars at roughly equal rates, in their 30's, the women stay home while the men go out almost just as much as they did before. You know all those media articles saying X city is a great city for singles because a high proportion of people are single - those cities actually tend to have the most cock-infested bars, for that reason. The single 35 year old men are going out, and the single 35 year old women aren't. Even if you don't want to bang 35 year olds, having them in the bar will make it easier to bang the 22 year olds. Women become
irrationally picky when the ratio climbs, far more than you'd expect on a simple mathematical basis.
Highly recommend Ratio Factor. Got a shoutout from Roosh on Twitter once or twice.
