Finding The Opposite Sex By Map

It’s A Real Man’s World…

First Date

If you live in Sydney Australia and your looking for the opposite sex then you need to read this…
Sydney may be in the grip of a man drought, but it is raining them in East Killara, new population data suggests. But there’s a catch - the eligible bachelors clustered in the wealthy North Shore suburb could be mummy’s boys. East Killara has Sydney’s highest concentration of single men, with 2.04 of them for every single woman, says Bernard Salt, a demographer at KPMG.

Using information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Mr Salt identified the city’s top 10 suburbs with the highest single man-woman ratio and turned the statistics into a "dating atlas", complete with a map highlighting the "menopolis" suburbs.

Mr Salt said there were two possible explanations for East Killara’s surprising status as an oasis of men.

"There are two varieties of single men in East Killara: 20-somethings living at home with mum and dad because mum does everything for them, and 30-somethings, who are separated or divorced and want to live near their kids," he said.

The latter group suggested a new trend in suburban male-dominated areas, with signs that recently divorced men were staying in the suburbs to be close to their children.

The suburb’s average of 31 single men per square kilometre includes divorced, separated, widowed and never-married men. By identifying these groups in his analysis, Mr Salt weeded out the suburbs with large concentrations of gay men.

Next on the list of single-guy hot spots were Illawong and Holsworthy, probably due to the suburbs’ proximity to the Holsworthy army base. The west also had a cluster of "menopolis" suburbs, including Parramatta, Auburn and Strathfield.

The greatest populations of single women were in Claymore and Airds, near Campbelltown, attributed to a large population of single mothers. The rest of Sydney’s single women were concentrated in the lower North Shore, inner west and Coogee.

Mr Salt coined the term "man drought" earlier this year in KPMG’s Population Growth Report 2005. The report revealed a growing gap between Australia’s male and female populations, with 20,000 fewer men than women in their 30s.

Mr Salt said he saw his "dating atlas" as a community service.

"Ideally what single women want is lots of target product without much competition, where the single men are, shall we say, happy to bump into single women," he said.

"I say that just such a place is East Killara."

Meanwhile, the crowd at Killara’s Greengate Hotel confirmed the suburb’s blokey reputation, with not a female in sight in the bar.

Carl Ferris, 20, who lives with his parents in Gordon, said he and his friends headed for North Sydney or the city if they wanted to meet girls.

"If you come here during the day you will not find a single female. This is a bloke’s pub," he said.

Single Andrew Muszkat, 25, said he liked living in the suburb because it was quiet but agreed it was "not somewhere I would go to meet a girl".

Date Rape Victims Spike The Truth

Monday, August 22nd, 2005

Young women may be overstating the prevalence of drink spiking and may be wrongly citing it as a factor in so-called "date rape", a recent study has found.
Researchers say many young women are blaming drink spiking instead of admitting they had drunk too much alcohol or taken illicit drugs. An analysis of 1000 cases of drug-facilitated sexual assault has found that just 2 per cent were the direct result of drink spiking.

Date Rape

The study, published in the Journal Of Forensic Medicine, found no evidence of Rohypnol, the most commonly cited date rape drug, in any of the urine samples analysed.

Co-author Fiona Burton, from the Forensic Science Service in London, said the study found that alcohol, either alone or with an illicit or medicinal drug, had been used in 46 per cent of cases that had been investigated.

Illicit drugs had been detected in 34 per cent of cases.

Drinking a lot of alcohol and using illicit drugs could cause a "lowering of inhibitions rather than the ‘loss of consciousness’ scenario typically depicted by the media version of drug-facilitated sexual assault cases", the study found.

"Alcohol consumption and use of illicit drugs should be considered as significant risk factors."

Paul Dillon, from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, said that, while drink spiking did happen, the British research underlined the fact that people do not like looking at the obvious. "Drink spiking is in the public consciousness now," he said. "People say, ‘I’ve had the same amount of alcohol that I’ve always had.’ But alcohol’s a drug like any other drug and it’s unpredictable."

He said it was important for people who believed they had had their drink spiked to come forward to authorities as soon as possible.

Ann Roche, director of the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction, said Australians were obviously fond of alcohol and "much more comfortable demonising other drugs".

"Because we’re so fond of alcohol, we’re not so concerned with the negative effects," she said.

Professor Roche also said not a lot of research had been done nor was there much public understanding of alcohol-related blackouts.

"It’s a very, very common phenomenon," she said.

Women’s drinking patterns were also changing, partly because there are more drinks available with a higher concentration of alcoholic volume and more young women were drinking at risky levels, she said.

"But that’s not to say the incidence of adverse consequences are not being experienced."

New South Wales Rape Crisis Centre manager Karen Willis said a much more common form of drink spiking was slipping more alcohol in people’s drinks.

"That’s almost impossible to research," she said.

"I think there’s a certain level of cultural acceptance that getting someone pissed to have sex with them is OK, while, in fact, it’s highly unethical, particularly when you can turn it around and blame the victim."

Rape is rape, is rape… getting a double nip of spirits instead of a single, to give the drink a bit more spike!!! should also be considered a crime a lot more than it is. Stand next to any bunch of slobs in a bar and you will quite often hear one say… we’ll get her pissed, then we can all fuck her!!!
