Girls pounce over boys here..

If the title of this article caught your eyes.. Yes, it's true..Welcome to Lebanon.

The NY Times reports (registration required) that with a female to male ratio of 5:1 in Lebanon, the girls are finding it very difficult to meet the perfect guy.

Samir Khalaf, a professor of sociology at the American University of Beirut, said the scene astonished his American colleagues. “They are just shocked,” he said. “ ‘This is Lebanon, the Middle East?’ they say. They can’t stop talking about all the belly buttons, about all these highly eroticized bodies. You see it everywhere here, this combination of consumerism and postmodernism and female competition.”

Since there are not many jobs in Lebanon for the youth, most of them head westwards and when they come back home with deep pockets and high spirits, the holiday welcome is gratifying.

“The demographic reality is truly alarming,” Professor Khalaf said. “There
are no jobs for university graduates, and with the boys leaving, the sex ratios are simply out of control. It is now almost five to one: five young girls for every young man. When men my sons’ age come back to Lebanon, they can’t keep the girls from leaping at them.”
