If this is accurate...it's evil! :o I've never even considered moving to the east coast!

Hmm, I guess that's a possibility.

I dunno though, there's going to be hefty guys there, too.

Talked about this with friends; what you said was brought up, and also the job factor. Most HR/PR/Marketing/etc. jobs are on the east coast, where most tech jobs are on the west coast. That'd skew things in the direction of those industries' imbalances.

misery loves company the less friends you have the less family the less love leaves you pretty much with only drugs ,alcohol or food to give you temporary satisfaction or release.
alot of depressed woman become obese ,i myself know how easy that is.
i wish i could lose weight and find love ,it hurts to be lonely and alone and feel worthless

I go to the gym a few times a week. I quite like what it's done to tone my muscles but I can't seem to lose a pound (I'm at 202 I think) for the life of me.

Hey that map reminds me of high school prom!

lol, true!

I wanted to add to this thread: I am currently considering moving to the east coast.

And Wendi, I know *plenty* of people over there who are not sedentary!

This explains why every single woman I meet is either married or engaged. According to this map there are practically no single people left in my state....except me!

Time to move...

Wow, I've been looking on the wrong side of the country... wonder if that same effect applies in Canada!

I know most girls from back east end up leaving immediately after high school to find some rich guy to hook up with somewhere between central and west coast... all the girls I knew in high school did that anyway.

With Canada... if the maps looks much the same, it'd be due to employment... wealth generally is greatest in West (Alberta) and Central (Ontario) and lowest on the East Coast.

It's funny getting in contact with girls I used to know from high school on facebook... almost all of them have their location as Alberta or Ontario... very few are still back East... Going home can be depressing... the only girls there were either taken since high school, have a current boyfriend/husband and many male friends waiting for their chance, or are too young to leave home. I hang out with my friends and it's a sausage factory... none of them have girlfriends and there are no girls to be found. Beach parties are much the same... the only girls that show up are a few of the ones listed above, or sometimes friends bring back a girlfriend from other provinces when they're visit.

But that's just one province... maybe there's lots of singles in NS or NB that I never considered... I know the girl that came to our high school to promote Saint Mary's University in New Brunswick tried to get me interested by saying that 80% of the students are female... I wasn't swayed cause my mom went there and it's not a tech institute... maybe I should've went there instead of Calgary... hmmm. Interesting! Maybe I'll check out what they got for courses and try taking a few this spring-breakup
