No idea where you got the 7-to-1 ratio from, but it's definitely not accurate. Yes, there are more women than men here, but that surplus comes entirely from the 50+ demographic. So unfortunately Latvia isn't the haven of single princesses some westerners fantasize about.

From Wikipedia: In 2017, there were 1, 054, 433 females and 895, 683 males living in Latvian territory. Every year, more boys are born than girls. Until the age of 39, there are more males than females. From the age of 70, there are 2.3 times as many females as males.
There are more women than men just because the life expectancy of women is higher. 7:1 only for 90 year old grandparents. Latvia is a paradise only for 90 year old grandfathers🤣🤣🤣

Population, female (% of total population) in Latvia was reported at 53.91 % in 2020, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. That is not 7 to 1. In 2020, male to female ratio for Latvia was 85.49 males per 100 females. So yes, there are more women, but definitely not 7 to 1. Not even 2 to 1.

I am Latvian, living in Riga and I just saw your video, it was fun to watch. I have 12 close friends (women) from whom 4 are 180-183 cm tall, 5 are 172-175 cm and 3 are 162 cm tall, I am 182 cm myself. Not to mention, 9 of us 13 are single, and only 1 who is taken lives in Riga, so there you go. This summer I was at a birthday party and me and my cousin were the only single non-pregnant women there. It felt surreal and not usual :D

Thank you for your video and kind words about Latvians! :)

My mother in law was from Latvia. She had 4 girls and 1 son. All the girls are close to 6 ft tall. My sisters in law have had a total of 8 girls and 4 boys. All of the kids are around 6 ft tall. I do feel like I'm in a land of giants when the family gets together. I'm 5'3. 🙂.
Another thing I've noticed is Latvians are very intelligent!

It is amazing to me to watch a video like this showing some city in poor Latvia, ex SSSR republic, with clean streets and no graffiti or homeless people to see in sight, and then go watch a video of down town LA or NY in the richest, most powerful country in the world … covered in trash and garbage, with homeless all over the place … unbelievable

Randomly came across your video! And must to say I loved it! As a latvian myself, it is always fun to find out what foreigners think of us. You have earned one more subscriber. Looking forward to seeing next videos.

What an awesome video! I was born in Latvia but have lived in the UK for 11 years now. This put a big smile on my face 😍 Thank you for the fun, informative content. I'm a subscriber now 😅👌

Just found your channel today. This video is gold! I chuckled to myself when I realized the blue and pink dots were counters. Good stuff Justin! Upvoted and sub'd. Watching from Galveston County, TX.

In my opinion, I think it will be more likely to be out 4 men there is 5 women. Because of this statistic. 'In 2020, male to female ratio for Latvia was 85.49 males per 100 females. Male to female ratio of Latvia increased from 76.25 males per 100 females in 1950 to 85.49 males per 100 females in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 0.83%.' So probably 2 out 1 or 3 women out 1 man.

Great questions, observations and presence! Excellent video.

I’ve been to Riga 9 times and have witnessed this myself many times. I loved it so much, I married one of them and live an awesome life!

I very much enjoyed your video. It's nice to see educated seasoned men close to my age doing something actually informational on youtube. Very nice Justin.

The whole question of gender disparity could be answered if you checked the most recent population census for Latvia (printed copies are probably available at the library). Although, my experience informs me most cities in the world have more women than men but in the countryside the majority of the adult population is men (juvenile population is fairly equal in gender numbers in the countryside).
