165,000 excess single women seems like alot, until you realize that the population of the NY-NJ-CT urban area is in excess of 18,000,000, or slightly under 1%.
Of course, the state average for people identifying themselves in a relationship is ~32%, which makes it more like 5% ...

Hell, if 4.99999% of those women /aren't/ insane, it'll make Austin's scene look like joining the fucking Navy.
