I think the way it works now is the fairest way.
If you're a female and you either a) Don't want to find a man to book with b) can't be bothered to find a man to book with c) can't find a man to book with, then you'll just have to book early.
We all have to make sacrifices. My sacrifice, for example, is I don't go to freestyle events where I have to pay in advance, just in case I get let down for child care arrangements and have to forfeit the money, which has happened several times in the past. This means I miss out on some great events, but that's just the way it is, I don't expect special treatment, just because I have children and I don't see why women should get special treatment because they don't have, for whatever reason, a bloke to go with.
I'm reminded of the first couple of Camber events I went to (Franko, not Ceroc). I went to ask one guy for a dance and the ratio of men to women was so bad, some other desperate bint came barging in and literally pushed me out of the way shouting "I'm next!" and wrenched the bloke out of my grip! Another guy I asked was so knackered because he literally didn't have a chance to stop for a drink before another woman grabbed him for a dance simple said to me "Oh for F*ck's sake" when I asked him for a dance. After that I gave up trying.
