DATE-ONOMICS: It's Not You, It's the Ratio
Fortune writer Jon Birger's book, DATE-ONOMICS, uses demographics, economics and biology to explain a familiar phenomenon: the single, college-grad woman who can't find love. He argues that lopsided gender ratios—4 women graduating college for every 3 men—are behind the hookup culture, declining marriage rates, and even the rise in campus rape. There are long-term solutions—fixing “the boy problem” in our schools—plus dating strategies for women frustrated by the gap and by men who exploit it. Another topic: How Silicon Valley’s rare oversupply of men supercharges wealth creation, forcing men to compete and leading to one of the highest marriage rates, and lowest divorce rates, in the U.S.
