6 Countries In Europe With A Shortage of Men

February 9, 2018

You probably know that the number of males and females on earth are equal, as the ratio of males to females in general is 1:1.

But did you know?

Due to a wide range of factors such as suicide rates, perusal of alcohol, war, and a difference of natural death rates, some countries have a gender imbalance with a higher female population compared to males as a whole. If you’re short of a female partner, why not consider visiting these countries, especially with Valentine’s Day coming up?

1) Latvia

One of the three Baltic States sandwiched between Lithuania and Estonia, Latvia turns 100 this year! Impress a local girl with this piece of information and whisk her away to any of the many parks Latvia has to offer. With a 0.85 to 1 male to female ratio, there will be no shortage of female companions in Latvia.

2) Lithuania

The largest and the southernmost of the Baltic States, Lithuania has a male to female ratio of 0.87 to 1. Like its neighbour Latvia, Lithuania is also well known for its nature. Take a local girl on long walks in parks and navigate through lakes and streams. If that isn’t enough, take her on a hot-air balloon ride, making it more likely for you to seal the deal.
