I get so tired of the Atlanta ladies complaining about the ratio of men to women here in Atlanta. I just left a happy hour that was a good mix of people, but mostly a 25 and over crowd. The ratio had to be 2 men to 1 woman. Last Friday I went to a 25 and over spot (South Beach) and it was a nice sexy crowd. The ratio was maybe 1 1/2 men to 1 woman.
Now if you listen to all the women here in Atlanta complaining the ratio is 1 man to every 20 women. I am here to tell you ladies you are full of shit. When I hang out, I never see any place that is close to that fake ass ratio that is put out there. Even when you go to church, which has the worse ratio in a guys favor, it maybe 5 women to 1 guy. But, out and about in the city, you don’t see this lopsided ratio that women in Atlanta are always crying about.
Ladies get off your ass and go where the men are. A man isn’t going to find your ass at your house.
Every Sunday where I play football, there are at least 300 guys playing ball that day and there may be 50 ladies out there supporting or checking out the game. What ratio is that? 6 men to every 1 woman.
Stop damn complaining and be smart about where you go. There are guys out there. There are single guys out there.
Now don’t get me wrong men have it good hear. I am not saying that at all. It’s just not as bad as women make it out to be.
Hell, I have some married female friends and when they hang out they don’t have a problem with guys coming up to them.
As a good female friend of mine says, Atlanta Ladies you get a Big Fat F.
The ratio of Men to Women in Atlanta that is suppose to be so much in the guys favor can’t be nothing but That’s That Bull Shit.
That’s too funny…I’ve been away for awhile but I’m always satisfied when I come back.

Thanks for the recommendations FGM. LOL. But you men still have it made in the ATL.

No question about it. I am not complaining. Life is lovely here in A-town for a man. But, it’s not as bad as women make it seem.

If I want to just say I met a man Friday nite when I was out, then you are right. However, if I am trying to meet a man that isn’t married, isn’t living with someone or otherwise attached, then FGM you are wrong. In my own group of “happy hour friends” a few of them are male, only one of them is single. But they all flirt/converse with the ladies around us. Yes, I know where I can go if all I want is a few free drinks, or just get a compliment on how I look tonight. I don’t know what the ratio is nor do I care, but I do know that if my goal is to meet a man for a potential long term monagamous relationship, then yes whatever the ratio is of single men to single women, it is in favor of the men.

Ok I am not in ATL and I am not looking for a man either, but I have to agree with MCS. FGM you are definitely correct there are lots of men out there, but good ones are a hard find. Fuck a good one a half decent one. When I came to ATL to visit your ass and we went out to Diddy’s spot, there were a lot of men there…more then women to be exact. But remember the conversations we heard from fake ass brothas in there. Then you have the gay, DL, crazy and broke men. Here in Cali we have lots of brothas but half of them are one of the adjectives I mentioned and the other half date anything but a sista. So go a little easier on the atl sistas I am sure their plight is very much substantiated. I also disagree with you telling them to go out and find a man that a man is not going to find them. Usually when you are hunting for something it turns out to be to be the wrong thing…better for it to find u. Just my opinion.

Cali girl and MCS…
I recall the very FIRST time I visited the A, and I lost count of all the perpetrating brothas I met while out (including the one I met for the first time after having talked over the internet and the phone for 6 months! That is a story unto itself!LOL).
But, you know, I think it is a plight for sistas from all over to find a “good brotha”. I think we get to the point that we either “settle” for a man who isn’t Mr. Right-For-Us, but Mr. Right-Now-His-Azz-Will-Do, and convince ourselves that he will metamorphasize into this Prince Charming by our influence or on his own accord. Or…you fall into the other category, such as myself, and refuse to settle, and consequently remain single, and some even swearing themselves to celibacy because you are tired of a “friend with benefits”. Thank God for self-love…lol

In response to some of my wonderful female readers and friends. I did not go on a limb and say that all the guys that were apart of the ratio were husband material. What you have to realize is that some of the same issues you have with the quality of men apply to women as well.
As Cali Girl mentioned when we hung out, just listening to some of the bs the guys were saying was just sad. However, on the same token there were several wanna be video girls and just plain dumb ass chics that made the scene even out.
My point in writing what I wrote had nothing to do with you going to get married or finding Mr. Right. Part of my point is get out there and live life instead of sitting on the sidelines complaining.
There are a lot of attractive women in Atlanta, but just because they are attractive doesn’t mean they are desirable to date long-term. There are a lot of women out there with a lot of issues. Hell if you ask most women, they will tell you that other women are trifling except of course their small group of wonderful friends. lol
And to the point that was made about all the married men that are out on the scene. There are a lot of married women out on the prowl as well. I am a first hand witness. I have just as many married women trying to give me pussy as I do single.
Am I suppose to stay at home and ask where are all the single women? Of course not. I enjoy the moment and keep on moving.

I’m gonna need you to post directions to your football field!!!! But with my luck….I will attract the 6′7 brother you mentioned in your earlier post! LOL

OK..FGM, I had to comment on your comment..lol. The entry that you wrote was women getting a F. We as women understand that men have the some of the same issues…but the main issue for women is that we far out number the men. I don’t think that the issue is that we are sitting at home in our jammies eating ice cream watching Oprah asking where are all the good men. We are actually meeting men these sorry ass nuccas….lol. We we hung out your ass was salivating over those video ho chicks…lol…so don’t even go there…lol.
So don’t try and turn you entry into a woe is me for the men…HA HA
Now what nucca…HAHA

Oh and u know I love you…LOL

@Caligirl - I love you to you trouble maker. lmao Like I said, I have nothing to complain about being a brother in Atlanta. I just think its not a true representation of the ratios. There are some very nice looking women in Atlanta, but as all of you will agree looks alone don’t cut it.
Comment by freakygoodman — April 10, 2006 @ 9:59 am
Well..I have plenty of men to date, ive never really noticed a shortage on men,, or of good men either. I have found out that there are plenty of men in this big ol world and good men who want the same things that women want in life..we just need to listen.
