FINDING A FELLA NOT ALWAYS CUT AND DRIED
A SURPRISING gender imbalance has been exposed in Gold Coast suburbs, leaving some singles asking where all the men are.
One of them, a hairdresser, reckons she’ll even offer a free haircut if the right man asks her on a date.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures this week revealed Coombabah has the Gold Coast’s shortest supply of blokes, with just 85.8 to every 100 women.
It’s the opposite problem at Jacobs Well-Alberton, which has 110 men for every 100 women.
Across the city the split is more even, but the fairer sex still outweighs men, with 94.7 blokes for every 100 women.
For Gold Coast single
Jenay Zandona, the stats might explain why she has not met that special someone while at work at Coombabah.
The Wild About Hair hairdresser and beauty therapist says the numbers make sense.
“Yeah, I haven’t seen too many eligible bachelors around Coombabah – or too many blokes altogether,” Ms Zandona said.
But even though she was not necessarily looking for a fella, the chirpy 21-year-old joked that she might have to check out Jacobs Well.
“I might find myself a farm boy,” she said.
“I do think no matter what the ratio is, it is hard to meet someone on the Gold Coast.
“Guys seem to be a little extra picky lately, even though we are going though
COVID and it is pretty much the end of the world.
“It’s harder to go out and do anything for a date, and also, you don’t know where they have been,” she laughed.
A country girl originally from Griffith, she said she loved a guy with tattoos, nice eyes and a sense of humour.
“If you take me on a date, I’ll even give you a hair cut,” she promised.
