NOTES
The man deficit -- How we got to 57:43 -- Sex ratios 101 -- Sex and the city -- The woman deficit -- Mormons and Jews -- Game theory -- Solving the man deficit
It's not that he's just not that into you - it's that there aren't enough of him. And the numbers prove it. Using a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and number-crunching, Date-onomics tells what every single, college-educated, heterosexual, looking-for-a-partner woman needs to know: The "man deficit" is real. It's a fascinating, if sobering read, with two critical takeaways: One, it's not you. Two, knowledge is power, so here's what to do about it. --Publisher's description
