Women left on shelf by the men with a passion for travel

Women, it's time to hit the road. According to a recently released study, Australia and New Zealand are suffering a "man drought" due to foreign travel. NZ is hit the hardest due to migration to Australia - "a 32-year-old woman in New Zealand today has as much chance of finding a partner her age as does an 82-year-old woman." Thirtysomethings are hit the hardest. The biggest country to blame? England, and other high paying western countries. I have some issues with the whole 'left on the shelf' comment - what, do we have expiration dates??? See Women left on shelf by the men with a passion for travel
