PHOTOS: See Town With Only Single, Young Women Begging For Men

Noiva do Cordeiro is home to over 600 women who mostly are all younger than 35 years, some have husbands but their hubbies are all out of town.

The men work in a different village and are not that much plentiful making this little village to have shortage of eligible suitors to woo young women.

Any man and teenager over the age of 18 are made to work in a different town, making Noiva do Cordeiro mostly left for the females.

Women here control mostly everything, from Agriculture to planning and even religion and they say they are better for it.

One Rosalee Fernandes, 49 said:'There are lots of things that women do better than men. Our town is prettier, more organised, and far more harmonious than if men were in charge."
"When problems or disputes arise, we resolve them in a woman's way, trying to find consensus rather than conflict.

We share everything, even the land we work on. Nobody competes with anyone here. It's all for one, and one for all. The whole town came together recently to help buy a huge widescreen TV for our community centre so we can all watch soap operas together."

"And there's always time to stop and gossip, try on each other's clothes and do each other's hair and nails. The town's residents say 'life there is much better without men'",she concluded.
However, the women complain about the availability of potential suitors, revealing that the men available are either married or are related to them.

One Nelma Fernandes, 23, said:"Here, the only men we single girls meet are either married or related to us, everyone is a cousin. I haven't kissed a man for a long time. We all dream of falling in love and getting married. But we like living here and don't want to have to leave the town to find a husband. We all dream of falling in love."

The women are all adamant that they are not interested in leaving and these sort of conditions have made these pretty women beg for any interested man to come for their rescue.
Ms Fernandes said:"We'd like to get to know men who would leave their own lives and come to be a part of ours. But first they need to agree to do what we say and live according to our rules."
They are also not actively religious and have made their intention clear that they don't need a great church service to wed.
Rosalee Fernandes said:"We have God in our hearts. But we don't think we need to go to church, get married in front of a priest or baptise our children. These are rules made up by men."
