[b]1. Serious boys at elite colleges and 2. Southern university fraternities.[/b] Smart boys consume most of the same social media influencing their female peers. There is pressure to hit these milestones and 'flex' them on social media. Engagement + wedding + buying a nice house together are all a huge 'flex' (achievement/status badge) to your peers. No high-achieving boys want to be some single Barstool dweeb obsessed with sports, using dating apps, and renting an apartment when they're 30.[/quote]

1) not true 
2) maybe but who GAF about weirdo frat bros?

The South is booming, while Northern states suffer from stagnation and brain drain. There are a lot of moneyed proper and ambitious kids at Southern colleges and a lot of affluent Yankees want to go to college there for the aesthetics, vibes, and customs.[b] One of those customs is finding a spouse before you graduate - which is a bit more appealing than being a 33 year old in Brooklyn dating randos you met on an app[/b]. "Public colleges in the South saw a total 62.4 increase in applicants, more than double their Northern counterparts."[/quote]

As a Gen-Xer who married at 33 and had my first child at 35, I have no regrets—but I’d love for my kids to find their person in college and settle down. Back in my day, we didn't have the annoying dating apps, we had to meet potential partners face-to-face. It would be great for my kids do the same but nowadays, with so much remote work and fewer in-person interactions after college, the opportunities to meet someone organically just aren’t as abundant. College feels like one of the last and best opportunity for that.[/quote]
