The proportion of world population between men and women has fluctuated in the course of history, with each gender the position changed. Nowadays, the proportion between single men and females has remained relatively the same, but in some countries there has been a great gap. There are several explanations for this, including the violent treatment of women, the wars that have led to mass migration and gender inequality that women have abandoned their countries of origin to obtain better job opportunities. With this, here is a list of the 15 countries where men have difficulties finding a wife due to the shortage of women.

15. Libya
With a population that includes 1,07 men per 1 woman, Libya has the broadest proportion in Africa. For several years, the country has participated in a civil war that has caused the exodus of women otherwise vulnerable. Add to this the traditionally restrictive role of women in Libya society and it is not a surprise that many are not staying to get married with their male compatriots.

14. Philippines
One of the poorest countries in the Pacific, the Philippine women are going to work abroad in Australia, Asia and even in the Middle East. As a result, the proportion between men and women (currently from 1.02 to 1) is enlarging. Recent statistics also indicate that the number of couples that are married has fallen, which shows that the question could be related to the shortage of women.

13. Iceland
When you think of Iceland, two things usually come to mind: it is full of ice (lies!) And Bjork is literally the only remarkable person that has come out of there (well, that is probably true). But there is another fact that is worth noting: Iceland has too many men. Or very few women. Currently, there are 1.7% more of male inhabitants, which means that many men are having solitary dinners with candles on their own. There was once a rumor that the government offered foreign women $ 5,000 to marry Icelandic men under the condition that they will be installed there. It turned out to be false, and the government even had to go out with a statement to deny such a thing. Well, ladies, they can still dream, right?


12. Norway.
In recent years, the population of men has overtaken women in Norway, largely attributed to immigration. As is, there are around 12,000 more single men in the country. As one of the most liberal and egalized countries in the world, there are some concerns that the gender population gap in favor of men threatements some of the progress that women have made in recent decades. Only time will tell.

11. Iran
For the first time in the history of the country, males in Iran exceed the females. A factor has been that Iranian women are very polite and often seek work abroad that matches their skills. Add to this a resistance for modern Iranian women to get married and start a family before they have established their careers, and you can see why Iranian men are having difficulties finding love.


10. Sweden
Like his Norwegian cousins, Sweden has begun to see a small but gradual increase in the man / female proportion. Nowadays, around 12,000 men are located, and this figure is expected to increase. A problem has been a housing crisis in which there are not enough homes to accommodate Swedish citizenship. As a consequence, more and more Swedish have been moving abroad, especially its famous beautiful women. Meanwhile, immigrants from several countries ravaged by war have been settled in Sweden, including 35,000 minor males.

9. Afghanistan
Once upon a time, Afghanistan was the home of a very progressive society where women could walk through the streets of Kabul in skirts! Avanza fast about 40 years and the country has not seen more than war and destruction. Of course, the history of the country's human rights in regard to women has also been miserable. As a result, women and children have been emigrating in large quantities while men have stayed to fight. The result has been a gender relationship that has been biased towards men.

8. Nigeria.
The proportion of 1,04 men to 1 woman places Nigeria among the highest of the African continent. Child marriage, polygamy and female genital mutilation have caused many women from fleeing the country in search of places where their lives will be better. The result is a masculine / female gap that is obliged to grow. Recently the government has expressed concern about the number of young adult males who can not find wives.


7. Greece
Once upon a time, Greece served as a starting point for those who migrated to Europe, which would then move to the UK or France. But the relatively cheap prices and the beautiful climate throughout the year has made Greece the final destination for many of them. A significant number of new immigrants from the Middle East are males, which is pushing the gender proportion more to that direction. To further complicate things, salary equality between genders is deficient, which leads to many women move to other European countries where they receive fairer salaries.

6. Egypt
Egypt is the most densely populated country in the Arab world and among the largest in the African continent. So with a proportion of 1,05 men per 1 female, that is added to a significant imbalance. Egypt is a traditional paternalistic society where women are expected to live domestic lives, but a large part of Egyptian women have advanced studies and aspire to work in the fields of science, medicine and laws. As a result, many of them have been emigrating to more progressive countries. This has left a lot of Egyptian guys with lonely hearts.


5. China
The most populous country in the world has 40 million more men than women. This is due to a tragic problem that they themselves have created: Selective sexual abortions and female infanticide in a country where gender difference remains prominent and the belief that a male heir is necessary. The gap is even more frequent in villages where families put more value to men. Finally, the government has begun to address the problem. Meanwhile, Chinese singles eligible could always try to win the hearts of girls in neighboring Russia, where there is a shortage of men.

4. United States
Well, so putting the United States on the list is a bit cheat. According to the most recent census in 2010, there were actually 157 million females in the United States compared to 151.8 males. However, there are several important cities where men surpass women, especially in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. THE. It is home to 90,000 single men more than women. Meanwhile, in the city of sin there are 103 men over 18 years old per 100 women. What we are saying is that if you are a single woman enjoying the sun all year or slot machines, the men of L.A. And from Las Vegas are anxious to snuggle with you!

3. India
In order to overcome China as the most populated country in the world in 2024, India has a serious shortage of women. The proportion currently stands at 1.08 males per female, resulting in about 37 million males. Like China, there has been a focus on sex selection (large Indians are expected to be the support of the family and help their parents once they get older). Unfortunately, it seems that the gap will only continue to grow in the coming years.


2. United Arab Emirates
At the beginning of the 20th century, the United Arab Emirates had 40,000 residents with women who included 22,000 of them. But the discovery of oil converted this desert full of fishing villages into an incredibly rich and modern tourist destination in which the country has become today. Foreigners constitute 85% of the country's population and are mostly males. With the lack of single women, many Arab males have left the country to find love.

1. Qatar
Qatar reaches up the list as much. The proportion of men to women in this millionaire country and rich in the Middle East oil is 3.41 to 1. Excluding the Arab Emirates mentioned above, no other country has a masculine proportion to feminine greater than 1.54. The great proportion in Qatar is greatly attributed to the influx of male immigrants that now make up 94% of the country's workforce. While the government is eager to emit work visas to foreign males to fill qualified managerial positions and construction work, foreign women have very difficult moments to get visas if they do not come from places like Canada or the United Kingdom.
