<p>What is the dating scene really like? I hear most guys are gay and girls have it really hard at NYU. Are most guys really gay or is that an exaggeration? I know there is a big homosexual culture there but there has to be some pickins there right?</p>
<p>What about outside of NYU? Do female students at NYU have to resort to dating men in the city outside of the school? </p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>Yep, I think you will have some very nice-looking guys in your classes who are interested in girls. Based on meeting the male friends of S. One was actually hired to be a model during the summer. :)</p>
<p>NYU really has a large and diverse student population. And, yes, if NYU does not work out, NYC is also a large city with different opportunities for dating through work/ internships and other schools (Cooper Union, Columbia, Baruch, Hunter, Fordham, New School, etc.). You will meet people and guys if you are interested.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or people who make up for it in charm, whit, and just pure intelligence like me. LOL</p>
<p>If I were a girl, I would go for what you have, Isealbz, because even good looks get “old.” LOL.</p>
<p>Haha, thanks for the compliment, Evolving. Although I’m not sure what you mean - because it seems tautologous that good looks get old (otherwise everyone would get divorced at the first sign of “age”).</p>
<p>That is exactly what I mean. You have to rely on other things besides physical beauty to keep a long-term relationship going…going… going… and going. Wit, intelligence, and charm will go on for longer than just looks, me thinks. :)</p>
<p>Haha, I sure hope you guys are right.
I keep hearing all these horrible things from guys and girls about most of the guys being gay and how great it is for the straight guys because the women have less to choose from. Which I find really strange because there are lots of good looking (and intelligent) straight guys in Manhattan.
I especially hear bitter things from the females saying that its really competitive for girls because of the female to male ratio being so out of proportion. I was told that if you can even find a straight male good luck getting him with all the compeition. LOL I really hope all these people are exaggerating.</p>
<p>I feel like it is because many of the girls at NYU are into acting, modeling, theater there’s probably a lot of above average girls for an average guy to choose from, so it screws things up a bit. At least the first year when people are more concerned with beauty than brains.</p>
<p>wow. That’s a bizarre comment, CollegeGuru. These kids who are into acting and theater get there on talent and dedication, not looks! Not sure what modeling has to do with NYU students. Maybe some kids pursue that on the side?? </p>
<p>I think you might be generalizing from a few celebrities who attend NYU…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This seems bizarre to me: it makes the dating “game” sound like competition for food in a post-apocalyptic society. Well, that’s hyperbole, but I always figured students would just be themselves, focus on their studies, and if they bumped into someone they liked - and the feelings were mutual - things would proceed naturally. But maybe I’m just idealistic (or unidealistic?). </p>
<p>Furthermore, I wouldn’t not go to a college just because of the dating scene - especially when it comes to NYU because there are much more troubling issues (like cost).</p>
<p>i’m a straight male, but i do have a friend that currently attends nyu. she did say that it was a somewhat difficult to find a guy, when looking for a relationship, but i dont think the whole notion with girls settling for less holds that much truth.</p>
