I forgot to mention something that was the reason that I wrote the post in the first place - any one dancer, a man or a woman, needs only one other dancer at any moment that he/she would like to dance. It is ot a requirement that all other people in the room are dancin. So gender balance/imbalance is irrelevant. It is not how many are there that is important, but rather who is there.
If a woman wants to dance with a particular man, and he is busy dancing with someone else, he is not available and it is irrelevant whether there are other men and that there may be gender balance. That particular man is not available for that particular tanda. Instead dancing with whomever, and spend the precious music while thinking "I wish I was dancing with the other one", it might be better to sit. And, (would you believe ?!), it is possible to walk into a milonga in BsAs, full of people, some very good dancers, and say "There is nobody here to dance with!".
