Statistically speaking
There has been a lot of talk over the last few days about the number of single people in Canada. I had to check this out after I heard (a friend also heard the same thing) that there are 7 or 8 million people in Canada. If you go to the It's just lunch web site, they say there are 13 million singles in Canada! After consulting Stats Can, I see there are actually 13,338,363 singles, 7,138,065 are males.
Even better, you can do a search for single, never married guys between 20 and 44, in the North West Territories or PEI or Alberta, bla bla bla if you are willing to pay...
I am cheap and I always loved math. So, here is my crude estimation (ie don't ask where I got these numbers):
For the sake of arguement let's say there are 30 million people in Canada (30,007,094 according to Stats Can)
23.79% of Canadians are single males.
Eliminate 15% of that for single guys looking for single guys
Eliminate 1/2 for non compatible age groups.
Grand Total: 3, 033,677 potentially eligible single guys in Canada.
Wow.
Interpretation of results (I am somewhat of a scientific girl after all):
WHERE ARE ALL YOU GUYS HIDING!!!!

Not in Maryland.
Well, if they are in Toronto they must be afraid for the scores of single women around.
BTW cs-girl, I commented on the friends one.
All us single guys are too busy blogging to date..
HA! That's funny.
Doesn't it feel like we're on a big date here sometimes anyway? Ok, maybe not, but I can pretend.
You didn't account for unattractive or socially inept.
Aren't Canadian guys weird anyway?
Lunatic...are Canadian Guys more weird than any other guys!
Good One,
I don't think that Stats Canada accounted that half of the single men are gay and that some of them are really women dressed up like men....
Nonetheless that's alot of single men and so where is mine?
