If your youngest is 17, then you have plenty of time for interesting events to happen. I think it's fun to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile you could start a new tribe to keep yourself busy, and if this one dies out you'll already be on your way to having a new (and hopefully more lucky) tribe.

Why not? VV2 permits you to run two tribes together. Why end a tribe encountering difficulties, when you can just try the smoother path with another tribe while you wait for them to try and overcome it?

I think he means that there is more events that bring some males than events that brings some females. It's right than there is only one event that could bring a little girl!

dang I wish I would have seen this before I got frustrated and started over again. Right now Im not even in the mood to sit and play. :O(

A new start is also very interesting, Mawambe, and it's always nice to meet new villagers!!

Don't give up! I had the same kind of problem.
2 males
4 females (two aged 47, 49
2 children
One woman had twins and the other had triplets. I guided them for 3 hours as I had no docs and trained one male and the children on healing. It all worked out well. Hope yours does! Don't forget, you can get events that help as well.

i have an idea the only couple you have is the young woman and the man who is older than 17 and you have 5 which is a good popualation and wait for something like the barrel o' children event and care for your fellows and soon it is 8 and you have more than when you have started! and your tribe can grow again!
