"Two decades after Latvia shook off Soviet communist rule, the country's women have survived the transition to capitalism better than men - they are better educated and are less likely to die young. But a high male mortality rate means for many women, it is hard to find a partner. A high early male mortality rate means that there are 8% more women than men in the country[...] In the busy entry hall of the University of Latvia, Riga, the gender imbalance is visible. According to sociologist and lecturer Baiba Bela, there are 50% more women enrolled there than men. She says this means that women often find it harder to find a partner with an equal level of education. And by the time women want to settle down, men are dying younger and are four times more likely to commit suicide. "The first time the gender imbalance appears is between 30 and 40," Baiba explains. "In this age group the mortality for men is three times higher than the same age group for women." "Car driving, alcoholism and accidents in the workplace are mainly riskier for men than for women," she adds. Among the under-30s, there are almost 9,000 more men than women. But between the ages of 30-39, there are almost 3,000 more women than men[...] Dace Ruksane has spent her career looking long and hard at the issue. "The smartest girls are alone. The really beautiful girls are alone - if they are smart," Dace says. "They want to find partners who are equal to them. But a man, having all this choice, doesn't need to be very perfect. "He just sits in front of the TV and knows he can get a woman. And if she doesn't suit him, he will get another."

True.

My wife went to Latvia a couple of years before we got married to visit a friend, and she took lots of pics of chicks in parks, on streets, etc.

They all looked like models (hot, tall, long gorgeous hair, slim), were wearing short shorts with high leather boots, and were practically posing when just standing around.

10/13/2010 5:15:28 PM

this thread is usless without pics.

10/13/2010 5:18:44 PM

I'd be afraid the women there would suffer from russian woman syndrome, turning from this



to this



In like 3 days after their 40th birthday.
