Calling all the single ladies! If you thought your love life was bad – as in non-existent – there may finally be a reason why (and no, it’s not you). According to recent Census Bureau data, it seems that in Massachusetts there just aren’t enough men to go around – sorry folks.

In other words, there are 200,000 more women than men in Massachusetts, reports MarketWatch. This, ladies, means we are in desperate need of more males in the Bay State area (badly). But you probably already gathered that.

And unless you want to move to Alaska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Hawaii or Nevada, you might be out of luck. MarketWatch also notes that these are the only 10 states where men actually outnumber women. Woof. According to the map (above), each state on the East Coast (except Virginia) contains more women than men.

This explains a lot right?

But at least these statistics are a good incentive for men to move to Massachusetts. After all, the odds are certainly in their favor.

The good news is that here in Boston there are still so many different ways to meet people. From social clubs to classes, there’s still hope – so don’t give up! After all, you don’t really want to move to Alaska – do you?
