<p>^^^^ Correction- You will only date people who are socially awkward when around the other sex</p>
<p>Yeah, this disappointed me about Deep Springs College, which would otherwise be perfect for me.</p>
<p>It’s not really about dating, it’s more about the fact that I like girls and I like interacting with girls as much as guys. Girls can be a lot of fun and I think going to an all-male college would suck for this reason, not to mention a good chance of stifling your dating options. I like seeing girls and I like hanging out with girls. That’s all.</p>

<p>Do you honestly think that out of the 80 some years you’ll be alive, or of the 20 some you’ll have already lived when you graduate college, spending FOUR YEARS at a single sex college is REALLY going to damage your social skills that severely? It’s not like you’re moving to an all male PLANET, you still have to socialize with both sexes, and even if you didn’t it’s only 8 months of four years. What an overreaction! My mom went to an all girls catholic school for 15 years and she is the most socially skilled person in our entire extended family.</p>
<p>I went to a same sex high school and it was probably the best high school experience I could have had. Next year I’m going to a large public coed state university, and I mostly chose that because I wanted a HUGE environment, not because I wanted to meet boys and not go to an all girls college.</p>
<p>I don’t know about college but in high school I had no trouble meeting guys since I was very active in the community - tournaments for sports, clubs, church functions, as well as the occasional hang out with some classmates who brought guys.</p>
<p>I would hate it because I love women, and no I’m not gay, and no I don’t even mean in a romantic sense. Girls are fun and unique in their own way and really add flavor to life, going to an all male campus would suck. Girls are fun and I like being around them just as much as I like being around my guy friends, and that’s not even considering the stifling of hookups/dating (sure you can run over to an all-female campus, but it’s a lot easier if you’re both on the same campus).</p>
<p>Hell, my fiance went to an all boys high school and must have hundreds of friends, most of which are female. I have no idea how he knows so many people, everywhere we go he bumps into someone he knows-- and his graduating class only had like 100 people in it. He had a girlfriend all through high school and we started dating freshman year of college. And his social skills certainly aren’t stunted. He makes friends in the strangest situations. Earlier this summer we had to take cover in the basement of his dorm because of a tornado and he found himself a new best buddy. If you are such an introvert that the only time you will ever see people ever is in your classes then maybe a single sex school might pose a problem for your dating prospects, otherwise I don’t think it makes much difference unless the school is completely isolated.</p>
<p>Idk, I just like walking around and seeing girls, making friends and relationships without even having to go out of my way. I feel like HAVING to go to another campus to live a portion of your social life…might take something out of the experience.</p>
<p>Wabash College is an excellent school. Most single-sex schools have larger universities or colleges nearby that are co-ed. The Wabash Men told me that girls are not a problem at Wabash. :)</p>
<p>Well I don’t have any girls as friends or acquaintances (I’m shy) so going to an all-male college wouldn’t really change my social situation. And since I’ve decided to make myself immune to any sexual or romantic desire, it wouldn’t matter.</p>
