Shy guy + lonely woman = match not made in Minnesota
By Bill Ward, Star Tribune
. . . The online dating service OkCupid.com (www.okcupid.com) has determined that Minnesota has the nation's loneliest women and shyest men.
. . . . .
"We're actually all math majors. We're all a bunch of nerds over here," said Kagan.
". . . The Midwest, that says it all right there," said Lundberg, a Minnesota native. "A lot of people are missing each other because they are not acting when they see someone they like. I think [lower self-image] is part of it. It doesn't need to be that hard."
. . . . .
So how could Minnesotans get themselves off the top of these lists?
Kagan and Lundberg suggested the same solution: "The women should step out and make a move," Kagan said.
