Single guy looking for a partner? If you’re willing to live in the cold, you may have options: the country of Latvia currently has so few men that women have begun travelling abroad to find partners.
No one is sure why this is the case. There’s some evidence that men in the country make poorer life choices and don’t live as long, though that doesn’t explain why there are so few young men in the country currently. But no matter the reason, its impact is obvious; the country currently has 15.5% more women than men.
Even though there’s a significant gender imbalance, things seem to be doing okay, though novelty services that allow women to hire men by the hour have appeared in recent years. Still, locals don’t really seem to mind, though some have said that it would be nice to have “more men to flirt or chat with.”
So, if you’re lonely, the answer might not be Hinge — instead, it might be Riga.
