University girl complains, too many women on campus. (And that they are ugly...)

Isn't this exactly what we predicted would happen after forcing men out of University. The complaints about unfairness would still continue.

For the girls that are looking to settle down, remember that you may be doing exactly that, settling for something at TCU that is less than what you deserve in the real world. Guys, on the other hand, should remember that a good-looking girl on TCU’s campus is probably an exceptionally attractive girl in the real world. You will never again be surrounded by so many beautiful women, so getting a pretty girl at TCU is like winning the lottery. Take advantage of these ridiculous odds, because after your four short years at TCU, most of you will be docked 3 points again, and for us girls, well—we will win an addition of 3 points for the rest of our lives.

I'm conflicted on how to respond to this. Part of me insists on making a sarcastic quip, another parts wants to rant about the level of fucking entitlement and arrogance it takes to say something like this. Then there's the part that just wants to point out how you could never say something like this as a man without getting fem-crucified, combined with the urge to jam a pencil up my nose in a desperate attempt to fish out the piece of my brain that died a screaming death the minute I read this.

You'd think that a big majority of women on campus would be difficult to spin into yet more oppression for women ... but ... No problem! They all get 3 knocked off their beauty marks. So we can all be reassured that it's business as usual.

However, I do detect a note of desperation as she addresses the men:

For the rest of your lives? Doubtful.

Date off campus or wait 4 years, it's what I had to do.

Never thought I'd see the day where a woman claimed to want more frat boys.

Again, the usual, no concern about boys and men dropping out of universities and living terrible lives and living unhappy lives. Nope. Just how this issue of peril for boys and men affect women. At the end of the day, that's the only people this society cares about; people with vaginas.

Caste 1: The most attractive men, for whom the college is a sexual buffet.

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.

Needless to say, this puts guys in a position to play the field, and tends to mean that even the ones willing to make a commitment come with storied romantic histories. Rachel Sasser, a senior history major at the table, said that before she and her boyfriend started dating, he had “hooked up with a least five of my friends in my sorority — that I know of.”

... W. Keith Campbell, a psychology professor at the University of Georgia, which is 57 percent female, put it this way: “When men have the social power, they create a man’s ideal of relationships,” he said. Translation: more partners, more sex. Commitment? A good first step would be his returning a woman’s Facebook message.

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, Professor Campbell said. In this way, some colleges mirror retirement communities, where women often find that the reward for outliving their husbands is competing with other widows for the attentions of the few surviving bachelors.

Caste 2: Middling men punching above their weight. These are the kinds of men who are being talked about in the TCU article.

... But it’s not as if the imbalance leads to ceaseless bed-hopping, said Austin Ivey, who graduated from North Carolina last year but was hanging out in a bar near campus last week. “Guys tend to overshoot themselves and find a really beautiful girlfriend they couldn’t date otherwise, but can, thanks to the ratio,” he said.

Mr. Ivey himself said that his own college relationship lasted three years. “She didn’t think she would meet another guy, I didn’t think I would meet another girl as attractive as her,” he said.

Several male students from female-heavy schools took pains to note that they were not thrilled with the status quo.

“It’s awesome being a guy,” admitted Garret Jones, another North Carolina senior, but he also lamented a culture that fostered hook-ups over relationships. This year, he said, he finally found a serious girlfriend.

Caste 3: Untouchables.

Indeed, there are a fair number of Mr. Lonelyhearts on campus. “Even though there’s this huge imbalance between the sexes, it still doesn’t change the fact of guys sitting around, bemoaning their single status,” said Patrick Hooper, a Georgia senior. “It’s the same as high school, but the women are even more enchanting and beautiful.”

And perhaps still elusive. Many women eagerly hit the library on Saturday night. And most would prefer to go out with friends, rather than date a campus brute.

I meant to put "and that the guys are ugly too..." in the title, that was an error.

Aaod · 2013-11-16T03:42:33+00:00

At some point in every TCU girl’s 4 years of college, she has have stopped, looked around a party or a bar, and thought to herself, “Where are all of the guys?” Though you TCU men are probably pleased that there are a significantly greater amount of girls than guys at your house parties on Friday night,

If I had to guess either studying due to being in the hard sciences or working unlike your privileged ass. Plus I don't hear you complaining about the better scholarships you get either.
