Navigating the Single Life in the ATL

Shay Hope answers the question that so many women have been asked in Atlanta: Why are there so many beautiful, intelligent, financially have-it-together women in Atlanta who are SINGLE?

If you are a single woman in Atlanta now or have been in the past, you know that this question is often asked by potential suitors. If I had a dime for every man that asked me this question, I'm sure that purse would be fat! And we have to mention the glaring statistic that has been ingrained in the minds of the Atlanta population for the past several years: the number of women in Atlanta vastly outweighs the number of men. Is this the reason that women are more likely to be single in Atlanta than men? Is it simply a "numbers" thing? Or are there more underlying factors that have contributed to the disparity?

This discussion will tap into a host of different avenues that we have to consider when discussing dating in today's society. Race, religion, finances, marriage, divorce, kids, family upbringing, sexual preference, all of these topics will be discussed and examined to explore this all too familiar topic.
