<p>I don’t understand why the concern. I had an uncountable number of dates while a traditional undergrad at a coed school and not one of those guys was a college student, [while I was dating them.] So, I don’t understand why the focus on dating, like it happens solely on campus.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr is on the Main Line, with tons of other schools, and it’s also very close access to Philly. While many Main-Liners are a bit cold and it may take a little while to learn how to break the ice with them, it’s definitely not impossible. There’s a good number of young professional men in the immediate vicinity; I used to work very close to Bryn Mawr and I’d go to Genuardi’s(Safeway if you’re from Slower Lower like me.) for lunch and if I sat there for 15-20 minutes eating my lunch, usually at least once a week, I’d have a guy strike up a conversation with me.</p>
<p>Barnard’s in NYC, if you enjoy the city, I can’t imagine not meeting people there.</p>
<p>Smith/Mt Holyoke are near Boston, which has a huge concentration of 20-somethings.</p>
<p>etc…</p>
<p>I guess I don’t understand why we’re locked into thinking in the box that the population at the school/nearby school’s is the only dating pool. </p>
<p>*I should enter a bit of a disclaimer though, I’ve always had a lax attitude about dating. I’ve never really pursued it - it happens when it happens. I just did what I wanted to be doing, and was not worrying about the audience that brought, but I also have a hobby that used to be very male-dominated, so that doesn’t hurt my odds.</p>
