Go...East young man

[MadImmortalMan]

I wonder why this is.

[katmai]

El Paso or Albuquerque....ewwwww

If they include illegals that might explain part of the Southwest.

No good theory for chicks in the East.

All freshly transplanted from college for jobs, the entire corridor from Richmond to Boston is Transplant Central;  you used to live in DC, how many chicks did you know in the work environment that were actually from there?

But that sort of begs the question.  Why are chicks moving there disproportionately to men?

So DG is getting a lot and Garbon used to until he moved East ?

More crappy HR jobs?

They want the Sex and the City life?

I understand San Antonio and Anchorage being more male, but DC is a mystery.

Probably to dominate the men in their lives.

I dunno, maybe the heavier gender-specific industries that are popular with women might have something to do with it:  nursing/healthcare, accounting, government, higher education, entertainment/hospitality industries, maybe?  That's just a guess for the fences.

Didn't Lettow intentionality leave the 'Red' South in order to go on a 'quest' to that rather 'Blue' area ?

Has to be something like that, yes.

Los Angeles isn't exactly heavy with male-dominated industries like oil drilling and stuff though. Why is it more male there? All the chicks went to Atlanta?

The manufacturing belts, Cleveland-Detroit-Chicago are full of women too.

The little red bubble that is Dayton is mostly Health Care and colleges (UD! Wright State! Sinclair! Nursing students out the wazoo!). Seedy is a good guesser.

Alternatively doesn't the larger numbers of men in the US military in part account for the lack of single men in some of the blue locals ?

At anyone time, a fair few 100,000 youngish American men are deployed abroad ?

Oh good thinking. Gotta explain San Diego for sure.

I would think a graph like this would rely on permanent addresses;  Khandahar or the USS Abraham Lincoln is merely a temporary one.

Thanks, but it's only probably a moderate effect; apparently there are currently around 195,000 deployed abroad.

Though I'd guess there's more, if you count some part of the sailors and marines 'deployed' on ship etc. 

Oh and the figures don't include military or civilian contractors, so that's a fair few more.
