>> yes. >> and if you want to increase your chances of marriage after college, consider thinking about it in high school. choose the college with more men than women. already out of college? well, berger suggests moving to a city like denver or the san francisco bay area like silicon valley where college-age men outnumber college-age women. not only will there be more men to choose from, those men are likely to treat you better or risk losing you to another man. sharon crowley, fox 5 news. >> sharon has spoke been, huh?
