> Opportunities for straight males to date within a straight population depend on the male/female ratio. A necessary condition for every straight male in that population to have a girlfriend in that population is that the male/female ratio be <= 1:1.

> For every gay male in a population to have a boyfriend within that population the only necessary condition is that there be an even number of gay males in the population.

That is...a strange take on the kinetics of dating, if you will.

I'm just going to point out that bi/enby/fluid people are a thing, as are poly groups.

Also, online dating is a thing. Most of my (straight male) partners came from other schools, not because of the Male Ratio at my engineering school, but it was just more efficient to find someone with a matching personality online, and sampling from a larger region.
