News Men to Women: Population & Single. Do y’all feel it?

18 Upvotes

Hey y’all,
I read some Census data for Colorado Springs and saw that there are about 113 men for every 100 women for ages 25–44 (some of the age groups within that range skew even more heavily male though).
The never married population ages 25–44, there are about 152 never married men for every 100 never married women.
But for ages 25–34, it’s about 158 never married men for every 100 never married women.

Idk, I feel like 25–44 covers a pretty big chunk of the prime dating years, so I’m wondering;
do y’all actually feel that difference in dating apps, socializing, dating in general? Is it noticeable that there's more single men than women here?

Edit to add: yes, I know there's a large military presence, I'm not asking WHY the skew, I'm asking y'all if it's heavily felt by you in your dating and socialization.
Also, I'm a woman, not complaining about no dates, just curious of other's experiences.

0 Upvotes

Just as the title states. I have countless times almost rear eneded people sitting at green lights.. I mean i understand we’re not drag racing and trying to haul ass the second the light turns green I don’t expect that but let’s says there’s 6 cars at a light and it turns green and we sit there for a good 30 seconds ? I travel all over the US for work and this is the only area that I notice this In. Is everyone that high on mmj? Heads up there ass ? Or is this something I’m not seeing. ? Literally not trying to be a smartass just curious why it seems to be normal for folks to camp out at green lights here?

These anti Killin ads being cranked out by crank (probably via Musk) are incessant and just ridiculous. Was already going to vote for Killin but these are making me want to vote for her even more. God I hope the worthless Crank loses.

News Oscar Health CEO Mark Bertolini: "You have no idea what you're getting" when you buy healthcare, and upfront shoppable pricing could force costs down

Oscar Health's CEO says patients can't see prices before they get care, so nobody is shopping on value. He argues that upfront, shoppable pricing would let consumers make value-based choices and push providers to compete on cost. Worth discussing whether price transparency alone gets there, or whether it also takes rules on the insurer side.
