Latvian man shortage leaves women lost for love

According to BBC News article "Latvian man shortage leaves women lost for love" (10/12/10) , women in Latvia are having trouble finding a love partner.

The reason for that is pretty sad. Even thought boys are born more then girls in Latvia, the balance shifts dramatically in adulthood because of high early male mortality rate.

Alot of Latvian men die from car driving, alcoholism and accidents in the workplace. Latvian men are likely to be macho which leads them to dangerous and unhealty activities.

And because of Latvian men dieing young, women in Latvia are having problems finding a love partner, because there is just not enought men.

Even thought this article is true, I find it kind of funny :)
