[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the George Costanza-type guy who thinks his odds are doubled at a school that has 65% females: it doesn’t work that way.

The students are all aware of the male:female ratio when they apply. Female students at a school with 65% females are not there to go man huntin’. They likely have a boyfriend elsewhere or are focused on academics or something else. If they were especially eager for casual romps with average guys, they wouldn’t be there.

So, ironically, it’s often the schools with 65% guys where an average guy might have success, because the females there definitely knew the ratio when they applied, and they apparently liked those odds. [/quote]

I went there in the late 80s.  The male/female ratio wasn't quite as dramatically skewed as it is now (maybe more like 60/40), but I had no trouble dating guys (I'm a woman).  Plenty of "casual romps" and more serious boyfriends.  I think you're making a lot of assumptions about the types of people who choose to go there.  [/quote]
