When I worked in NYC, I'd sometimes hit the singles bars with my
friends after work.  At these places, the men at ususally outnumbered
the women by about seven to one.  This was also the story at the
"singles" parties I attended.  Perhaps women have such a difficult
time meeting men because they WON'T GO OUT!  We men can't meet them
if they spend most of their spare time sitting at home with girlfriends
talking about draperies and stuff.
