Here are gender ratios in 10 Mexican states. The ratios are nearly the same as those in many Eastern European countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Bulgaria, and so on. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co ... _sex_ratio )
No wonder I keep getting flirted with in places like Oaxaca, Guanajuato, and Michoacán.

The reason that Mexico City has so many more women than men is because females tend to migrate domestically (within Mexico), while males tend to migrate internationally (to the U.S.).
My girlfriend is from Michoacán, which is the most southwest one that's highlighted in pink. Forum member Colibri is from Morelos, which is the small state just to the south of Mexico City.
Now for male-female ratios:

10 Colima 98.4
Most of these states actually have even gender ratios. Only 4 states in Mexico have more men than women, and even then, not by a lot. (Mexico has a total of 31 states, not including Mexico City. With Mexico City, the number would be 32.)
Here's a labeled map of all the Mexican states:
In rural Mexico, people tend to get married early, and everyone seems to want to make sure that young single people like me will be able to find a date. With a lot of backup from the local Mexican men and even older women, trying to find a date will be far less intimidating.
