brit-gob 9 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 They're all in Niseko! ..... Australian's single city women forced to look for love in the country. Single women in Australia's major cities are being forced to head into the country in search of love because of a "man drought" that is gripping metropolitan areas. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 In the latest example of how difficult it has become for women in their late twenties and early thirties to find an eligible man in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, a dating agency has started sending busloads of single women out to country towns, where the ratio of men to women is far more favourable. The weekend tours, named Thank Goodness He's A Country Boy, involve eight hours of intensive speed dating at a country pub, where lonely farmers are introduced to single city girls. Brie Petersen came up with the idea after visiting friends in the rural town of Mungindi in Queensland. During a night at the pub, the owner told her that he regularly received letters from single women in Brisbane and Sydney asking him to set them up with farmers. Similar pleas were being sent to the post office, he said. "These women obviously needed help, it was simply a matter of putting the two groups in the same place," Miss Petersen said. The first tour, which took 50 Sydney women to the rural town of Tamworth was a success, with an "85 per cent pick up rate", she said. More trips for the single women of Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are on the cards. Link to post Share on other sites
