I think the only way they'd be surprised is if I went from natural causes. They'd be like, "Paul died? What did he do?" "Cancer? What did he get himself exposed to? Did he break in to a nuclear power plant?" "Just happened?" "Bulloks"

How much you wanna bet that tons of men will be moving there after reading this news and then there'll be "women-drought"?

^^ No one will move for that, people don't travel through oceans in order to find love , no one travel such distance for a such uncertain goal that maybe will happen or maybe not, people travel for more certain goals (citizenship, job vacancy...)

Damn, I'm a male who's moving to Australia to become a polyamorist then.

Those Jellyfish that attack like a huge branding iron sound really scary.

There's 100,000 Aussie women looking for spouses. What higher number would convinced you to move? 500,000? 1 MILLION? The chances of total victory are nigh on absolute! Besides, foreigners are sexy, and Americans 'do it better'.

Well this is what I read in my Interpersonal Communications book in college, but in Australia, girls ask out the guys, not vice versa. I mean guys can ask out girls, but girls can also ask out guys. I wish more cultures were like that ;)

Your chances of finding a date is not always related to how many single women are around in one place, if there's something wrong about you or something you are doing wrong and you can't figure out yet how to fix it , then the only thing that would change in your love life is more failures and rejections. Of course , 100000 women seeking for spouses does rise your chances but it's not a 100% guarantee that you ll end up as winner.

And not all nationalities are desirable in Australia and certainly Lebanese is not one of them

Wonder if it's like a friend of mine in Alaska said? "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

To be fair, I'm an engineer that's been screwed out of a job for the past year, and it's a US Environmental Engineering firm that'll only hire Americans. But, if I get it, I'll go ahead and let you stab me in the leg, or at least my arm.
