Is it because of the difficulties of living isolated?

I don't think it has anything to do with difficulties. More that women often like the more lively places and big cities. And the solitude less (on average), they like to connect with others.

In these 4 minutes you can easily write every single US state... I think the time should be decreased a little, to 2 minutes and 30 seconds for example.

Agree. I had enough time to list all the states before getting the final answer.

Maybe too much time allowed . These USA top tens usually have 2 or less minutes.

For people asking why there seems to be a trend towards these Western states, it's a number of factors but the biggest one is the combination of them being largely remote and lowly populated meaning a lot of the blue collar jobs there (especially in Alaska, the Dakotas, and Wyoming) with the coal and oil industries tends to bring in more of both a male and younger population.

Yeah, the blue collar jobs are a big factor. In Alaska's North Slope Borough, which is where most of the oil extraction is, 62.4% (!) of people are male.

I thought lets pick the northern ones where it likely colder. And it got me half! Thinking of west would have gotten me the other half.

I think it's peculiar because I can't deal well with warmth, and prefer the cold myself. (As long as you can feel you're fingers and you aren't shaking, it's fine right?). In winter my living room often is 15°c (or even 14) But that is extreme cause I don't respond well to radiator heat. Otherwise it would probably be 16.5 or 17 (while at my dad it is 26°c !!! Have seen atleast 26.7)

You're all missing the fact that it's still only a slight difference. We women who live in these places are quite happy.
