Default Brisbane's Man Drought!

A good man is getting harder to find
While it has been raining cats and dogs in Brisbane over the past week, there's one thing it's not raining: men. The inner-city dating scene is in the grip of a "man drought", with an oversupply of the fairer sex.

"Everywhere I go I seem to see nothing but women, women, women, so there definitely seems to be a shortage of men," Sile Doyle, 38, who moved to Brisbane six months ago said. "There seems to be a distinct lack of guys between a certain age, say between early 30s to mid-40s ... they're just not about," she said.

==========================

We've just done a poll round the office and decided she's right! Everything male is either married, and/or gay, and/or not worth a second look Thinking of the no-hopers my mates and I have encountered on nights out lately confirms it even further.... Definitely not a city for women looking for partners

They've probably headed south to find more "civilised" women..

Plenty of single bogan's around.

Now I know they fall into the 'not worth a second look' category, but if it's a choice between A: go without, or B: shut yer eyes and think of (whatever country one is from).

Mmm, what would you do?

When most of the women look and act like blokes it's hardly surprising the finer single male examples have scarpered.

FFS man up will you grow some balls... Drink some cement and hardin the fluck up... Build a bridge and get over it..

You blokes have been acting like blokes all yer lives.... The politically correct "we" applaud those men who get in touch with their feminine side...

Yet wimmin face More bloody discrimination... Slagged off for getting in touch wiv their masculine side....

Perhaps the men don't fancy the "shitty tattooo" look, rule that out and there's virtually no local women left.

You need to find out how they know when you are going out. I reckon someone is warning them.
