Women Of Darwin, Introducing The Men Of Mount Isa

I do so enjoy playing cupid, so when I read that women are leaving Darwin “in droves” because they’re unhappy with the fellas there, I immediately thought of a place they could move to in order to find themselves a man. Mount Isa, prepare yourself!

First, we should learn why gals are getting the hell out of the Top End.

Women are leaving Darwin in droves because they can’t find a good man.

Researcher Dean Carson has found despite there being a higher ratio of men to women in the NT capital, single women just can’t find Mr Right. Mr Carson, Charles Darwin University head of population studies, said his study indicated men came to the Top End to work in male-dominated areas such as construction, mining and defence.

“Women come here thinking: ‘Ooh yeah, there are a lot of men up there’, but when they come and check it out, they realise they are not the men they are looking for,” he said. “Men are up here for certain things while women are here for other things.” He said the same number of women and men moved to Darwin but more women left.

Now admittedly, Mount Isa’s menfolk also work in male-dominated areas. But considering they were gagging for the ugly chicks of the nation to head to their town last year, I dare say they’ll make some extra effort when it comes to seducing and committing to the hotties escaping from Darwin.

I’m gonna leave this hook up in the capable hands of Mount Isa mayor John Molony. Organise a convoy for all the single ladies, John!

    Feel I should say something about this Darwin guy drought situation…
    But I’m pretty sure the NT News said it all quite honestly and accurately.

    It was exciting that day, because there was a human story on the front page instead of crocs and cane toads and UFOs.
