Female/Male ratio = good odds?

<p>Does being a male in a college with 60%+ women give you an advantage dating-wise? Does it seem easier than high school at least?</p>

<p>Doesn't matter the ratio if your personality sucks</p>

<p>Theory and reality are not one and the same. Take Case Western as an example. The ratio is the inverse of your school. But the women frequently complain about the dating situation, citing the quality of available students. The same may be true at your school. It might provide you with more theoretical options, but whether or not they are any good is what ought to matter.</p>

<p>Not really. My school has slightly more men than women (51/49) and I still can't get a date very often.</p>

<p>I think in order for there to be a substantial difference, it would have to be like 80/20 F/M</p>

<p>Okay, let's face it. Dating is hard. That's why half of this forum is littered with them. Most of us struggle with it so we think "well the ratio sure as heck isn't helping me." But come on, imagine if colleges have a 20/80 female/male ratio, like back in the old days. It would be a lot worse.</p>

<p>The girls can always go off campus to find more guys...</p>

<p>I don't know if it actually helps in practice, but I wouldn't make it a selling point. Though I can see how it would help a little.</p>

<p>A kid who used to hang out with the same group of friends as me went to a lousy state school (not that all in state schools or lousy, this one just happened to be for what he was going for) over a MUCH better school (finaid was same) because the "girls were hotter and there were more of them". Too bad his personality sucks and he doesn't get any dates as a result anyway.</p>

<p>A lot of girls and boys lack personality, and if they do have personality they rarely show it. If you want to attract the opposite sex you MUST have a personality or be outgoing. You can't expect them to come to you.</p>

<p>Yeah, don't count on the ratio. At Georgia Tech, I believe, where the female to male ratio is 20/80, they have a little saying about the guys: "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."</p>

<p>My school has a 20 female/80 male ratio. It's gotten better over the last couple of years too!</p>

<p>The biggest pile of **** ever invented. I attend NYU, for christ's sake, the female/male ratio is like 8:1, factoring in homosexual males. Not ONCE have I been able to capitalize on this.</p>

<p>Even in a 99% female school, you will not find anyone if you don't present yourself as an attractive (inside and out) person.</p>

<p>Now, if girls behaved in the same manner as men when it comes to sexuality...then it'd be a totally different story.</p>

<p>Um, I think a large female to male ratio helps but if you're not sociable you haven't a chance regardless of numbers.</p>

<p>my schol is 40/60 and I cant tell walking arround campus(im in the 60)</p>

<p>Funny you should say that, my college is EXACTLY what ur talking about. 20% female and 80% male. its in NYC.</p>

<p>^ OUCH (for a guy), what school is that????</p>

<p>its Polytechnic University</p>
