How is/did the males you know do at 60% female school?

[Anonymous]

Socially. How did they make out socially? Did it take them a while to find their people?

Are you kidding?

OP, my son is currently at a school that is about 58%-42% F to M.

He promptly found himself a girlfriend.

Guy friends are great and are all having a ball. They know they'll never have it this good numbers-wise again in their lives.

The pervasive estrogen eventually drives down their T levels and they become obese and listless.

OP here. So true. I really concerned about male friendships. College is opportunity for lasting friendships, ephemeral romances (sometimes long term - but romance is not a concern at moment)

I mean … look at the faces of the guys in the photos in this NYTimes article about boys at majority-female schools. They're doing juuuust fine.

The majority of colleges in the US are 60/40.

The NYT from 2023 is what raised my concerns ..

I want kid to have lots of choices of friends - not a pool of women to have hookups with.

The thread about “no game” is not mine

What is wrong with having both?

The odds are in their favor with women.

Eww. This thread is making me realize to encourage my DD not to look at schools that are majority female.

Nice of you to assume the girls are there just to provide a random hookup harem for the boys 🙄

Just being honest….My son is at a selective Private with more than 60% female.
He has never been one to “talk” to a bunch of girls. Normal kid. But he does say he gets hit on multiple times a week. So yes….this is a thing….

My son does not seem to be getting hit on at his 60:40 school. Maybe he needs an 80:20 school or perhaps an 85:15.

He says he really does not notice the differential, in part because his major is mostly male. I did ask about this a lot, though, because when you see the absolute numbers, it feels more dramatic (900 women and 600 men in his class).

Boys are often oblivious to when they're being hit on. They think "oh she's just being nice." He might just need to alter his assumptions about why women are interacting with him.
