<p>Well i saw the one on Lesbians and Women's Colleges and just woundered the same thing</p>
<p>I saw this & I read it as "gays & Men's cologne" and thought " well they are probably the ones that wear it the most... that & sunscreen"</p>
<p>Drew, Wesleyan, Vassar, Yale...probably other Ivys</p>
<p>Have you been to Hampden-Sydney? It's a rather conservative, traditional school. I love the place and will encourage my son to consider it, so I'm not slamming it for being that way. But it doesn't strike me as a place where a young gay male would feel comfortable about finding a great social niche. That's how W & L was, too, before it went co-ed. I don't know about Wabash.</p>
<p>I can't think of why you think gay men would lean towards single-sex colleges. The only advantage is that there are few if any female students--but what sort of "advantage" is that? I've never known a gay man who wanted to avoid women altogether. it can't be a matter of wanting twice as many prospects. Anyone who was choosing a college on that basis (having a number of available gay men to date) would be much smarter going to a large school where sheer numbers would guarantee a critical mass of other gays and bisexual students.</p>
<p>I feel stupid even typing this out, frankly.</p>
<p>yeah your right. this is a stupied topic, please delate</p>
<p>Most liberal arts college is the Northeast are good for gays. Columbia, Brown, Penn, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, University of Miami, Rice, Tulane, Univ. of Chicago, BU, Tufts, Northeastern, Clark, Univ. of San Francisco, USC, UCSD, UC- Santa Cruz & GW are also gay friendly.</p>
<p>Umm, US Army is mostly men...should we make some sort of wild assumption there....</p>
<p>I agree with Hoedown.</p>
<p>why is this not gone yet?</p>
<p>why do you care wabash? so what if it may seem like a dumb thread.</p>
<p>becuse i asked a stupied question and it needs to be gone</p>
<p>That's funny.</p>
<p>Wabash, maybe you're dealing with some issues that are difficult for you? Those of us in CA can easily forget that in most of the Country, being gay and coming out are huge issues. We're all anyonymous here so all discussion can only be good.</p>
<p>no question is stupid. don't feel ashamed.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but both of these threads are dumb. Have you ever stopped to consider that gay people might, I don't know, have the same criteria as everyone else when picking a college like, maybe, academic quality and extracurricular opportunities instead of "how many other gay guys there are to hook up with"?</p>
<p>Yes, that is probably true Xanatos, but think about it: Most (i say most..) straight guys won't pick an all-guys college for obvious reasons, despite academic quality and extra-curricular opportunities. So, isn't it only common sense that an all-guys college would contain more homosexual men? I'm not saying it is wrong for a straight guy to attend an all-guys college; I'm just answering the question.</p>
<p>I'm a gay male. I wanted to be in Boston in part because I know that Boston University has a good gay population, and if I meet my future husband there I'd be able to marry him in the same city! But that's not the only reason I'd look into a gay friendly school. Or another factor was being in a large city where I'd be able to meet guys off campus.</p>
<p>ummm, so what would you say about all boy's highschools...gays and straights go to school to go to school, and understandably, gays want an environment that is not oppresive, not sheltered from the other half of the population...to say that men would shy away from an all male school because it attracts gays says more about the straight men then anything else.</p>
<p>If your black on top of hampden sydney and wabash there's morehouse</p>

<p>Yeah, SOME guys will be turned off that they won't see women M-F. SOME. Not all. </p>
<p>Given that there are only three non-military 4-year male colleges left in this country, it doesn't matter that MANY straight guys aren't interested in that environment. In fact, hundreds of thousands of straight college-hopeful guys could so "no way!" and there would still be more than enough young men (yes, even heterosexual young men) interested in H-SC and Wabash and Morehouse to give them a good strong class every year. </p>
<p>It's utter hogwash to assert that there are so few willing straight guys to go around that these three small colleges are left with a shortage of straight applicants and thus are left with higher proportion of gays. Sorry, I'm not buying it. Not as someone who's done the math, not as someone whose dated at a men's college.</p>
