The gals outnumber the guys, but New York is still a man’s city.
There are more women than men in every age group, new city data show, giving scientific evidence to the lament that a good man is hard to find.
“It’s difficult finding the good ones,” groused Amee Gordon, 26, a Manhattan finance professional.
“You can find men to date, but dating the good ones is a challenge. It just seems there are many more attractive women than men in the city,” she said.
Indeed, females outnumber males by 52.5 to 47.5 percent — that’s 410,045 more women then men, according to 2010 Census data included in a City Hall report this week on New Yorkers’ longevity rates.
But the imbalance of the sexes ranges across every age group. Among 25- to 29-year-olds there are nearly 10 percent more women than men in the city.
There’s no secret as to why, population experts say.
“This is the natural order of things,” said Peter Lobo, deputy director of the Population Division of the Department of City Planning.
He said more males are born but “at every age group you’ve got higher male mortality” — from dangerous jobs, unhealthy lifestyles, reckless behavior and violence.
That was little comfort to Manhattan women who say they’re at a disadvantage in finding a mate.
“Men are running rampant because of the numbers, treating women however they want with no consequences,” said Rhea Nanos, 26, who works at a Manhattan tech start-up. “They can hit on 1,000 girls if they want.”
Some men admitted it was true.
“It’s just like waiting for a bus or a train. Every few minutes another woman will come by — you’re stunned and your jaw drops — and on the next block you see another one just as beautiful,” said Christian Brown, 24, a teacher and aspiring actor.
“Women complain there aren’t enough men, but maybe there’s something wrong with them! They’re looking in the wrong place for men.”
Dating and life coach Tracey Steinberg said there are still millions of men in the city, but women go looking for love in all the wrong places.
“Go running in Central Park, go to your gym’s weight room, shoot pool after work, go to a sports bar,” she said. “There are so many amazing places full of men looking for single women.”
Helen Fisher, an anthropologist with Match.com and a professor at Rutgers University, also warned that women can be “too picky.”
“It is remarkable how many women say, ‘There’s just nobody, I can’t find anybody’ . . . They’ve got to give the guy a chance,” she said.
