Sex Ratio in the European Union [2249 x 2490] - ImgurAn astonishing variation from fewer than 77 women per 100 men in parts of east Germany to many more in south west Wales and the south of France. Are young women gravitating to urban areas, or are young men going to Greece and Dresden? (Note that it's just one age bracket.) Plus ... why do they show women per 100 men, not the other way round?

They are huge differences.
I like the disclaimer, "This map does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the ESPON Monitoring Committee." What opinion would that be, then?

I notice that the insets include Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion and Guyane, which are French overseas departments, and which France regards as part of France and therefore of the European Union but the insets do not include several French semi-autonomous collectives such as French Polynesia that have a different legal status and are not part of the European Union (see European Union Member States).

It doesn't say anything about their sexual orientation though. All those women could be into other women.
They also put blue for males and pink for females. And what about all the intersexual people? I really think it's time we got over sex as a category at all.

Hah, that too.
Not to mention, considering the limited age range, how is one supposed to read anything into this? In a fair amount of European countries, 25-29 is a rather small section of the population anyway.

I'm quite content to being represented by the colour blue, I admit to being a heterosexual male.

Looks like South-West Wales is the place to be! Totally - this has come as no surprise to me, I know several lovely women who can't meet anyone. They should move a few miles east, by the looks of it.

Seems to me that the region needs a decent ferry across the Bristol Channel. And, what's the story on eastern Germany...what, Brandenburg and Prussia, right?

Isn't half of Prussia in Poland these days? Not sure about that, but that Eastern German area was until 1991(ish) (edit: 1990 you dolt) the much hailed Socialist Republic that had to built those endless fences and that infamous wall to make sure it's happy contend citizens (sorry, comrades/genossen) didn't forget how happy and contend they were and upon visiting the Western half, completely forgot to return to their totalitarian (sorry, democratic) Walhalla (sorry, Workers Paradise). Even with extensive spending by the German government after the Anschluss (sorry, reunification, went from Commie jokes to Nazi jokes all of a sudden) it's still a bit economically behind the continuously capitalist regions. I wonder if that has much to do with it.

LOL...I fear you're quite right.
But the focal point looks a mite north of Monaco...it's on the coast, right?....Perhaps it's the 'papal ambiance' of Avignon?
