San Diego is probably not a good study.  IMHO, the problem in San
Diego is not a surplus of men, it is a lack of women.... There is a
difference.

And for all the women in other communities who think this ratio is a
good thing, think again. The social dynamic, according to many of our
followers, of a bunch of guys trying to get dances, and having to be
aggressive to do so, often leads to a less than optimum experience for
all involved.
