All the single ladies… live in Copenhagen

According to new research from the University of Roskilde, Danish women have streamed into Denmark’s largest cities over the past 25 years while men have stayed put in more rural areas.

The phenomenon is seen most clearly in the capital. In the Greater Copenhagen area, there are now 10,000 more single women between the ages of 18-48 than single men in the same age group.

Throughout most of Jutland on the other hand, single men outnumber the women.

“The imbalance is grown sharply so that there are more single women in the big cities at the same time that there has been an increase in the number of single men in the rural areas,” Roskilde University professor Rasmus Ole Rasmussen told Metroxpress.

Rasmussen said that the disparity in the number of single men and women threatens to further drive down Denmark’s sagging birth rates.

“The challenge that comes with more and more people living alone is that we have fewer children if we don’t begin to import women from other countries,” he said.

Japan of course is having the same problem.
And they won’t permit the unlimited immigration of Muslims.

“The first dog had eyes as big as teacups”

Haven’t heard that since grade school! Is that a Hans Christian Andersen tale?

Anyway, hope those Danish chicks manage to remain Muslim-free. They need to read Nicolai Sennels.

I was a bachelor there in 1980. So many smoking hot blonds they thought they were just average looking.

Well, here's the prime minister. She has a husband, however (the son of Joe Biden idol Neil Kinnock).

why don’t they import their own men from the country and their own women from the cities. Not create demographic suicide.

My kids are all looking or are married.

But now that I look back on it, we Taught them to look for spouses and get married.

The women don't understand the smell of manure is the smell of money and the men are manly men who don't want to be turned into metrosexuals.

The same is happening in most countries. Wise young men will stay out of the rat race, be frugal and learn to build their homes.

Not in the old days. The young men would leave the farm, attend school, join the military or go off somewhere to seek their fortune. (Of course, families were larger, so maybe one or two would stay home to help out with the family farm.) The young ladies would remain home where they were protected until an appropriate suitor would come along (most likely some respectable young man she would meet at the local church).

A 14 year old girl has a romance with a 28 y.o. immature guy? Sounds like a pedophile grooming film from the left. What am I missing?

It has a complex and original plot. I’d spoil it if I revealed too much but the 28yo actually saves her from her mother’s molesting boyfriend.

He shows her that even though they’d developed strong feelings for one another a romantic relationship is out of the question and his character evolved and matured in the process. When they go their separate ways it leaves her wanting to recapture her childhood and him becoming a man looking to find an appropriate partner to start a family of his own. The wonderful Danish actress playing the 14yo was actually 19 during filming.

However the jewel of the film is the lushly filmed exploration of the city of Copenhagen and the great soundtrack.
