De Beauvoir:

I don't know.

tintingz: There are more single women than men. #fact

pickabeau1:
i assumed the post was clear
Let me try another analogy
if u consider males and females in totality,... ur facts ring true... and shows male mortality on average is higher ...
However if you consider based on age that genders mate especially in the populous areas of the world.. the ratio of males to females changes drastically
In some parts of afrika, once a woman reaches a certain age, the prob of her getting a mate is low

De Beauvoir:

First of all, you quoted a French website and the part in bold is referring to the changes in the sex ratios in france only , not the population ratio changes the world over.

Secondly, the website you quote mined looks fishy. I don't believe it contains credible information because that part of your post about the number of women outnumbering men does not apply to every country in the world, I doubt it even applies to any other country except france. In China for instance, the population of men outnumbers women greatly and it never evens out. It is constantly the same.

lanrexlan: The number of men and women in the WORLD is roughly equal,though men hold a slight lead with 102 men for 100 women (in 2010).More precisely,out of 1,000 people,504 are men (50.4%) and 496 are women (49.6%).For every 100 girls,107 boys are born,but males have a higher risk of dying than females,both in childhood and at adult ages

lanrexlan: Do you knowingly skipped this?

Hmmm?

lanrexlan: So at a certain age, the numbers of men and women even out. In France this occurs at age 25 (in 2010).Beyond this age, women outnumber men and the numerical difference between the two sexes increases with age.In France,eight centenarians in ten are women (in 2010).

lanrexlan: Do you knowingly skipped this?

Hmmm?

De Beauvoir:
I didn't skip anything.
The part of your post where you quoted above is the only place that talks about world population generally.
The other part talks about France, let me bring the rest of your post to show you what I mean;


This part of your post is saying that although the number of men outnumbers women initially, the sex ration evens out eventually.
And in France, the age where this happens is at 25 years of age.
And also in France, beyond that age, women outnumber men up until they get to age 100 where there are 8 women to one man.
In France.

De Beauvoir:

The 'problem' of her getting a mate from which age range exactly?

Let us assume this hypothetical woman is 40 years old. Are you telling me she has an extremely low chance of getting a mate regardless of the fact that there are men of 45-50 who are still not married and regardless of the fact that there are divorced and widowed men of 45-50 age range?
Are you telling me that the 'problem' of older women getting a mate is very low even though there are men of her age/above her age who are single and also searching for a mate?

lanrexlan: Does the first part of my post talked about women outnnumbering men? I just need a simple yes or no.

pickabeau1: Now I see why its not clear to you

Prob is probability. Not problem...

De Beauvoir:
It didn't.

yuzedo: I will even mary a 100rd wive. after i becum a govnore by nest mont in annambra am gonna give rita dummynick an quit notice. den i will do NL comptitetion for a new first lady dat have a sweet upstair and down stare.

lanrexlan: Are you a male or a female please?

De Beauvoir:

My gender is inconsequential to the topic of this discussion.

adewale2011: Marrying two wives brings respect and make women know their position in the home.. but living with one wife God cant imagine my self doing that... its not in my family linage sha!!!


with one wife you have more problem because she has the autonomous power over the man


but with two wivies and above, the respect is very high because if she misbehave she has competitors that would correct the mistake with Joy


My father's tried it and they lived longer than their age..


the only principle i see with polygamy is that the Man should work extra hard to provide the basic needs of the family.

and share the money and playtime equally, and don't put the the wives under one roof, thats suicide if you try that...

lanrexlan: Just wondering how you concluded that first part of my post didn't talk about the world,even when it talked about males having the risk of dying both in childhood and adulthood.Did you see that?

De Beauvoir: @lanrexlan, please feel free to believe whatever you like about women outnumbering men.

I will take the world CIA fact book evidence over the website you posted because like I said before your website is talking about info from 2010 while my website is talking about the present year we are in; 2013.

lanrexlan: Are you a male or a female please?

Fulaman198:

De Beauvoir:

So?
Should women marry four husbands in countries where they are less than men?

Also, I was talking about the averages, I didn't go specifically into different countries.

Fulaman198:

Are you a Belgian feminist or something?

I don't have any problem with you supporting Nigerian women, however not all men choose to marry 4 wives. They do so because of various reasons (some people who live in farms or who are herders need bigger families in order to do their work).

I know you are looking at this from a feminist PoV, however you need to understand that sometimes marriage of more than 1 wife has to occur to assure success for a family. My grandfather personally had 2 wives. He was a traditional Mbororo Fulani cattle herder. Having more than 1 wife enabled the birth of children who can handle the cattle.

It is not right to have more than 1 wife if it is to fulfill lustful desires of the heart.

De Beauvoir:

What is this nonsense?
Is your uttering gibberish a side effect of banging your head on the floor 50 times a day?

tintingz: She's a female, one of the feminist captain on NL

De Beauvoir:

And by the way how does this statement have anything to do with my gender?

You were wondering how I drew my conclusion so you decided to find out if I am male or female because? What difference would my sex make to whatever you were wondering?
