You can look up the age breakdown[0]. For ages 20-30, there's over 110 males for every 100 females in China. That's 1 in 10 males that cannot physically get a female partner of similar age (and recall, we're talking about one of the most populous countries in the world). Point being: anecdata about group date events is dwarfed by population statistics.

Yeah, that's also a fair way to go. I suggested birth rates because it's easier to go with for people rather than qualifying everything but a bunch of adjectives.

Stats for USA are not as depressing but are still not great for men under 40. https://statisticstimes.com/demographics/country/us-sex-rati...

It can be worse for individual cities as well - such as San Francisco - where the ratio is supposedly closer to 115-130:100 depending on how you slice the population. (e.g. if you select only for single people between 18-35 rather than including married couples in the stats)
