    I never noticed...I have seen both sexes out on the street.
    is there a statistic that states this is a fact...or is this your observation?

      My observation at first, but the Wikipedia page on homelessness includes:

      'In western countries, the large majority of homeless are men (75–80%), with single males particularly overrepresented.'

          I wonder too.

          Same thing with men more likely to kill themselves than women, wonder what the reasons are.

            Yeah thats really weird
            maybe...
            My best guess would be kids...you get benifits if you have kids...even help with rent. So a single mom wouldnt be homeless...but a singke father would be.

          Don't wonder...It's not allowed on IIN...You're only allowed to acknowledge issues not mention possible factors as to why there is a difference between two groups. Just look at my comment. Few minutes after posting it I upset the feefees of others and they became thumb-cowards.
