I bet you didn't know that!

that's why i said "i always thought there were more women than men in the world"....because now i know there are more men than women

Lol, looks like some men are in the 1% who will not get a GF.

Do you count gays?

Thats the other 1%

Actually i never though of that. So if the statement of sommet like "for every 1 guy there 7 women" or whatever people say, that means that there is more than 1% of gay people, perhaps making women out number men :/
