<p>How difficult would it be for a first-year male to find a tolerable date around the campus? I guess this more of a topic about the women of the school in all technicality.</p>
<p>never heard much of dating happening…</p>
<p>usually study buddies turn into cuddle buddies…or hookups turn into something more serious…</p>
<p>Young man asked my D out to dinner 2nd week of school. They’ve been dating (their word - not mine) ever since.</p>
<p>probably easier for a guy (freshman year) to find a girlfriend than a girl to find a boyfriend. I found that most people settled down into relationships their sophomore/junior years.</p>
<p>My daughter has dated and also has had long term relationships at Cornell. It usually involved a guy asking her out to dinner or movie, not “meet me at this party.” My sense, at least from my daughter, is there is more dating at Cornell than at other schools (maybe because of the size). Among her friends at Cornell, there is always some sort of “boy drama” at any given time. Whereas her friends at other colleges, some of them have never dated. Whenever I am at Cornell eating at a restaurant, I would always see couples. As I gossip a lot with my daughter, she would usually give me a run down of who is who and whether they were just dating or bf/gf. It is true that most people do start settling down to a more permanent relationship junior/senior year. </p>
<p>My daughter probably would say it’s easier for a girl to find a boyfriend freshman year because of all the upperclass men. </p>
<p>As a mom of 2 girls I would say to guys - if you like someone, try to ask her out on a date (not “lets meet up at ___”, girls are still suckers for guys who know how to treat them well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>just like there are some people who prefer this ^
there are others who prefer a more casual scene…</p>
<p>Girls at Cornell are whores, you will get some. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>clfdwlr - Have fun at Purdue!</p>
<p>There are plenty of girls and guys in the dating scene. Usually they are just less likely to party. Though, I am someone who parties a lot and I’m open to dating too…so it depends.</p>
<p>I know of one freshman with a “girlfriend” here. Never heard of anyone going on a date. I don’t think much dating goes on here on north campus</p>
<p>Also, there have been many discussions about the women here. I think the best description is that every girl who comes here becomes more relatively attractive and many get this terrible, stuck-up complex. Not all, but a lot.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How could every girl become relatively attractive? There are bound to be girls who are relatively unattractive…</p>
<p>CayugaRed,</p>
<p>I think he means the girls think of themselves as more attractive because now they are less “more attractive” people than where they came from. They get more attention from the dudes, and therefore, they find themselves more attractive. They haven’t physically changed, but in relation to their surroundings, they are more “relatively attractive.”</p>
<p>I dont know if this is true, but I have heard this from a few sources.</p>
<p>I’ve heard this called RIBS (Ratio Induced ***** Syndrome). Just something I find pretty funny. =P</p>
<p>lot of pretentious girls out there…</p>
<p>my advice…if you ever run into one of those…give them a reality check :)</p>
<p>yeah, relative to what they used to be, not each other</p>
<p>What about guys? They continue to remain humble? Or were they hot already before they came to Cornell?</p>
<p>its very difficult to get a girlfriend as a freshman dood. no such thing in cornell! hahaha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Cornell men are the handsomest in all the land.</p>
<p>
Haha, never heard of it either </p>
