<p>He reported back to me “Wow, wattya know Laura got [higher than him] on her math SATs!”</p>

<p>She declined his offer.</p>

<p>This thread started in '04, has anything changed since then?</p>

[faustarp]

<p>an entirely new cohort of girls and guys…and the rise of facebook, texting, and other technology related to socializing. however, I think many of the statements that I just browsed over are probably just as mostly-inaccurate today as they were then…because I think it’s impossible to make any statement about these matters without over-generalizing to the point of not being insightful.</p>

[Caillebotte2]

<p>This post from 2004 is hauntingly accurate:

I guess I’ll throw in my two cents. My honest views from a guy’s perspective, views which the vast majority of my friends share.</p>

<p>In my experience the “dating scene” is fairly nonexistent, at least after 1 semester. The only people who “date” or have boyfriends or girlfriends are those who were in a relationship before they came here, plus a handful of other people. What most people concern themselves with is not the “dating scene,” but the “random drunken party hookup scene.”</p>

<p>This, like everything else at Cornell, seems to be highly dependent on who you know and how much money you have. Seems like all the rich kids from the NY metro area and Jersey magically know each other and keep to themselves to prevent their social circles from being polluted with inferior beings. Unfortunately, this group seems to also contain all of the attractive girls. Which makes anyone who is outside of that group and who isnt either 1) an athlete or 2) in possession of tremendous mojo, out of luck. I have friends who somehow manage to do okay. Not a lot, but some. Dunno how they do it.</p>

<p>I am being sarcastic and overly cynical for the sake of effect. However, it honestly does seem that it is much harder to come by female companionship than it would be at a state school. The fact that the average attractiveness of the women is much lower at CU than at state schools (sorry, but its true) has a double negative effect. First, the obvious. Less hot girls. Duh. The second is just as bad: the elimination of the middle class. What I mean by this is that girls who at any other school would be “average” or “cute” suddenly become worth fighting over once one dons his pair of Ivy Goggles. These marginally attractive girls then proceed to grow huge heads and realize that they can play the field just like the hotties. This spells double trouble for the average guy, who, simply cannot compete with the large number of extremely wealthy/powerful guys who are also interested in the same girls.</p>

<p>Of course, blanket statements are never completely correct, although what I have said unfortunately is pretty true in general. There are a good number of attractive girls at Cornell. And I’ve heard upperclassmen say that the class of '08 is the hottest class yet. There are plenty of nice ladies out there. The key is just meeting them. This depends on a lot of factors of course, one of the most influential being your college/major. I’ve heard a lot of people say that freshman year dating just plain sucks. I hope for all our sakes that they are right.

[RisingChemist]

<p>Ivy goggles, LOL. Sad but true.</p>

[Islander4]

<p>That really discourages folks who wanted a mere date. :|</p>

[Intellectual5]

<p>i know islander4! As a moderately attractive female, I hoped to find a serious, intelligent, and mature guy to date at Cornell. Wait, is that even possible?</p>

[xs0itg0esx]

<p>There always girls/guys at ithaca college… but I am sure these generalizations are not completely true.</p>

[suzaliscious]

<p><em>Facepalm</em></p>

<p>We have four effing years to figure out what the dating scene is. Who dug up this thread anyways? Please let it die.</p>

<p>@Intellectual5: As a guy, I’m offended. I’m pretty sure it’s possible if you’re not too negative about it.</p>

[Intellectual5]

<p>I’m actually really looking forward to meeting a whole new group of guys. My unfortunate cynicism comes from the fact that I attended an all-girls high school and the handfull of guys that I did date turned out to be… well… not so great to say the least</p>

[memphismom]

<p>the other Ivies first accepted women in the 70’s - Cornell has accepted Women since the 1860’s - so they have obviously gotten good at accepting great women - the guys just need to understand that they need to make an effort too…</p>
