I accept Astrid's and Bibi's views that culture has a powerful affect on the ratio of women to men dancing tango in Tokyo.
I find myseslf wondering, however, whether the cultural determination of ratio of women to men dancing tango in Tokyo is so strong that if the number of single men in Tokyo were to double while the number of single women was held constant, would tango venues in Tokyo still see the current ratio of approximately 3 women to 1 man. Might the ratio not change toward 3:2? Given that are sufficient similarities in overall culture between Denver and Chicago, I think that any differences in the gender balance between single men and women in the two cities could affect the gender balances of tango in the two cities. Chicago has more single women than men. Denver has more single men than women.
