Just had a conversation with a friend whose office assistant (in NY City) is female, 34 years old, smart, straight, and quite strikingly good-looking. I asked him why she isn’t married. He: “She says she can’t find a man. There are no men, she says.” Me: “In New York City? Come on.” He: “That’s what she says. ‘There are no men.’ My daughter’s the same. [His daughter is 35.] No men, there are no men to marry.”

[Derb] What’s going on here? Isn’t half the population men? No wonder our demography is cratering.
