The New Math on Campus.

Women on gender-imbalanced campuses are paying a social price for success and, to a degree, are being victimized by men precisely because they have outperformed them.

It's always men's fault when women aren't happy.

Jayne Dallas, a senior studying advertising who was seated across the table, grumbled that the population of male undergraduates was even smaller when you looked at it as a dating pool. “Out of that 40 percent, there are maybe 20 percent that we would consider, and out of those 20, 10 have girlfriends, so all the girls are fighting over that other 10 percent,” she said.

Hypergamy in action guys.

Poor women, it's hard getting everything you want

“Out of that 40 percent, there are maybe 20 percent that we would consider, and out of those 20, 10 have girlfriends, so all the girls are fighting over that other 10 percent,” she said.

So, your standards by your own admission shut out all but the cream of the crop which by standard supply and demand analysis are likely already taken. Cry some more.

They’ll text them and say: ‘I had a great time. Want to hang out next week?’ And they don’t respond.”

Weird, because that is my experience with dating in a nutshell. How's it feel?

The loneliness can be made all the more bitter by the knowledge that it wasn’t always this way.

Right, men should have to suffer and women should be princesses always.

This article is frankly, absolutely delicious.

These women, these women have had dating handed to them on a silver platter all their lives. They never had to compete or work at it, they just batted their eyelashes and got as much as they wanted. Now it's tough sledding for them and it's sooooo haaaard. Them being female isn't good enough anymore, they have to be exceptional to get exceptional guys. They are finally being shown they are just another dumpy girl from the suburbs with nothing all that special to offer, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. They can't reasonably expect the world from men with this kind of population skew but no, rather than accept the numbers and settle for a "lesser" man or stay single they just sit back and whine. Hopefully this experience will make them more empathetic towards men later, but I doubt it.

So we ought to feel bad about universities having many more women than men because women can't find dates?

Are you fucking kidding me?

When men were the largest group in colleges that was due to sexism.

When women are the largest group in colleges that's due to them naturally being better at school and the real problem is the few men left are taking advantage of them by not acting the way they want sexually.

Fucking feminists.

So more girls are enrolled in colleges now than guys, but what majors are they taking?

I'm guessing not STEM.

Honztastic · 2011-04-16T23:50:27+00:00

Yeah, it used to be the other way around. Except men had to spend money on a date instead of sleeping with them.

Get over it. If the system hadn't started overemphasizing female enrollment, this wouldn't be a problem at all.

And out of the "20% available, only 10% is acceptable". Way to go, that's exactly what you complain about men doing. I go to one of these 60-40 schools. That 60% of girls? The attractive ones are all dating or don't like you and we're left with fatties and ugos. It's how it works: get fucking complaining and get used to it.

Interesting. I remember when this article was posted a year ago here.

It discussed a lot more the issues of college enrollment rates and the hypocrisy of colleges. This time around there seems to be more focus on the hypocrisy/hypergamy of the women themselves.

No real point there, just an interesting observance.

As a man, I didn't go to college for several reason: The first being I simply couldn't afford it. Yeah, I could have tried to pull a full time job and college together, but I was already burned out since my father had a stroke 6 months before and quite a lot of things fell into my lap. Long story short, I feel I had a damned good excuse back then.
Right now? I spent the last few years with my current wife who I worked full time while she finished college. That sounds all well and good. I'd go to school after she is finished and gets a job. The problem? Her degree is practically useless. A BA in Psychology. It gets her part time work at jobs where those with with a high school degree (and almost exclusively with a vagina) are offered the jobs.
So now I find myself unable to go to school because I'm helping my wife pay off her loan as well as not getting a full time income on her side.

I kind of wonder how many other young men (I'm 25) have a situation where they also work full time to support a full time student through school? Or some other position where they're expected to work full time for some commitment they are handed (or forced) while the young women are not expected anything from.

I give this article a cringe factor of 7/10. Banding about off the cuff statistics is one thing, but actually not seeing the irony and bias in what they are writing is another.. I really would like to assume this to be a misrepresentation, but it is evidential that this is too commonplace.

One thing I am curious about is: If women feel that in this situation they are being pressured into doing something (as they claim) to "lock it down", then what about the following implications. Firstly, they may be mistaking their desires with what they themselves could admit are encrouched pressures by their female friends. Secondly, the idea of doing anything that is required in the face of competition may only lead to increased disillusionment when they are successful (the 'you only want what you can't have' problem). Thirdly, Without considering the problem as a potential error in the admissions criterion you leave further problems open. What remedy are these women actually seeking for the problem? Where is the critical thought in evaluating the situation?

2011-04-17T16:54:42+00:00

I have no sympathy for any of these women. They're all worthless and pathetic.

I bet that guy with the expos cap is not even from Montreal.
