Take that finding, coupled with the fact that a study by Allan and his colleagues found that, from 1930 to 1990, the male sex ratio had dropped by about 1 boy per 1,000 births. Though older parents, fertility drugs and certain diseases have all been linked to an increasing proportion of female births, Michelle B. Gottlieb of the World Resources Institute (WRI), says the findings "suggest that avoidable, [likely] environmental, factors may be playing a role."
THE SECRET COVENANT
An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their
perception.
Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.
We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the
connection between us.
We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.
Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring
suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing
the changes as they occur.
We will always stand above the relative field of their experience
for we know the secrets of the absolute.
We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and
secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.
We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while
pretending to do the opposite.

I think that eventually this will correct itself. A big part of it, I think anyway, is the number of women waiting until their mid to late 30's or even early 40's to have children. Seems like the older the mother is the higher the likelihood of the baby being female, of course I could be wrong but it just seems that way to me.
I would suggest marrying someone from my husbands family tree. Three generations and nothing but boys have been born.

women are waiting that long because most guys out there dont want to settle down and have children - most guys want to tell women lies that they love them and want a future with them, just to have sex - for one night or to live together promising her that they will have that future together but it never happens in a lot of cases - the guys are just stringing the woman along

If I'm not mistaken there have been studies done about it and they found that women are waiting longer to marry and have children now due to them focusing more on their careers and education during their 20's and 30's. There are guys who string women along, but those are the cases where the woman needs to tell him to hit the road instead of waiting forever for him to want to get married. Most of the guys I know don't fall into that category, most of them want to get married and have kids it's just a matter of finding the right woman.

Which is bad in this case. Because, study shows more women are born then. But to the statement you made, there are a lot of guys who want to get married and have kids including me. But somehow, those type of guys don't get attention in the younger years.

I understand this is a serious subject. Didn't mean to poke too much fun ot it.
It's just that, at the moment, I'm not all that concerned about something that won't happen until many, many years from now. If humans are still around when there is, say, one man for every 50 or 100 women, let the people of the future deal with that. In short, at the present time, humanity has bigger fish to fry.
