[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im actually more worried that they won't. I have two college aged daughters and there is essentially no dating in college per their reports. And a family member who teaches at a medical school and residency in a female dominated speciality says that it's noticeable that year-in and year-out that the female medical students and residents don't date as they have a really hard time meeting eligible and educated men.

I wouldn't breathe a word of this to my daughters but it doesn't seem particularly easy  out here. [/quote]

Confirm it's not easy out there for educated young women in a demanding field. [b] Why are your daughters reporting no dating in college?? [/b] Are they in the same college?  What years?  Is it geographical perhaps or field related?   I'd be worried, too, except if they are Freshmen, but Juniors/Seniors - I hope they would be dating...[/quote]

Different colleges. Boys don't ask girls out or all only pursue the hottest girls.  [b]Do you have a college aged daughter? [/b]I know so many who have never dated in college despite being lovely, thin, smart, etc. [/quote]

Have daughters, not yet college aged.  I totally understand your worry.  But would try to understand more about the "whys".   What kind of boys are these?  Is there another kind, or is this a really small place?  The ones who "just pursue the hottest girl" - you don't want those anyway.  What year of college are we talking about?  Is the college large enough that they haven't found their club or their people yet?  Also, girls don't have to wait to be asked out, they can ask out, too!  ;)[/quote]
