BTW, is it possible to start the game with villagers all the same gender?

Well, it'd be interesting and frustrating. You wouldn't have to work on the huts or the beach or try to get fishing. Just get medicine so you can live longer and hope for an event. I actually wouldn't mind trying it.

As far as matchmaking in the romantic sense is concerned - no, I haven't tried that. Only once, when one of my villagers looked remarkably like my real life man I hooked him up with a girl that looked a bit like myself. Call it jealousy!
What I do definitely do, though, is try to control who breeds with whom. I attempt (though not always successfully) only to have master villagers have babies in the hope that my kids will get smarter. This sort of works, mainly because I only ever have women go after guys, never the other way round.

Getting event(s) early in the game where a villager disappears or they get sick or die may cause a village all of the same gender. I started over once when that happened to me, but that was before I read about the "Hard Tribe." I may try the recovery now...

Could you explain the reason that you always have the women go after the guys and not the other way around? I always pick a male breeder and he mates in order from the Alpha female in decending order of age. Thanks!

Well, unless you want a population explosion on your hands, a female breeder is easier to control. At least if she gets enough breeding skill to wander off and breed on her own, she's got 2 years to mind the baby. A male breeder on the other hand, (and I'm trying not to be nasty and compare this with real life.. lol), will go around merrily impregnating every female in sight - and the more skill he gets, the worse it gets.
