Vice on the "college man deficit": "There really aren't enough men." "millions of single women are eventually left with no options at all."

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,”

This just in: Women ruin their own dating pool by pissing in it and calling men undateable, then whine about it.

Meanwhile, don't ask why there is such an imbalance in the ration of females to males in colleges, or ask what should be done about it.

Inequality only matters when it damages women, you know.

Perhaps the woman with the C-grade average in her psychology degree should just come to terms with the fact that her college 'education' is actually not worth that much at all, and look for a nice man working a trade...like a plumber, electrician, mechanic, etc.

Terrible. Men aren't going to college -- let's look at how this hurts Women and their feelings.

Awful.

IvanDagomilov · 2015-09-27T02:18:10+00:00

This was hilarious. You really had a study to show that in a 60:40 educated world, women would not be able to find 'equal' mates. No shit Sherlock. On top of that, divorce being the killing floor it is, educated men are not putting themselves at risk.

When 80% if the women stop chasing 20% of the men, you can cry poor. Until then, just buy yourself a new diode and a gallon of ice cream.

The elements of this kind of article become clear by comparison with a similar article from 2010...

On college campuses, a shortage of men

Female triumphalism North Carolina, with a student body that is nearly 60 percent female, is just one of many large universities that at times feel eerily like women’s colleges. Women have represented about 57 percent of enrollments at American colleges since at least 2000, according to a recent report by the American Council on Education. Researchers there cite several reasons: women tend to have higher grades; men tend to drop out in disproportionate numbers; and female enrollment skews higher among older students, low-income students, and black and Hispanic students.In terms of academic advancement, this is hardly the worst news for women — hoist a mug for female achievement.

No undignified man-chasing, no Mrs degree And certainly, women are primarily in college not because they are looking for men, but because they want to earn a degree.

Hypergamy, apex fallacy 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.

Get the phrase in there Leaving aside complaints about “affirmative action for boys,” less attention has been focused on the social ramifications.

Authority figures twisting the facts to give women victim status 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

Envy for the dudebros, who are the winners in this whole game “If a guy is not getting what he wants, he can quickly and abruptly go to the next one, because there are so many of us,” said a senior at the University of Georgia, who said that it is common to see six provocatively clad women hovering around one or two guys at a party or a bar."

Contempt for the dweebs, who don't figure in any of this 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 a Georgia senior. “It’s the same as high school, but the women are even more enchanting and beautiful.”

This dude is such a moron...

That kind of explains how we got to 50/50 enrollment; it doesn't explain how we got to 58/42. And my argument is that the old discrimination [against women] obscured a fundamental biological truth: Girls' brains mature at a faster rate than boys' brains, girls mature [faster] socially and intellectually. They're about a year ahead of boys. When it comes to actual schoolwork, girls do their homework better, girls are more organized, they're less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, they don't get put in jail [at the same rates]. So I think girls have a developmental advantage when it comes to college preparation.

And... that's why they score lower on almost all standardized tests than boys?

throwaway427597 · 2015-09-27T05:27:06+00:00

The fact that even one woman could find a man stupid enough to get married in today's legal climate amazes me.

Tmomp · 2015-09-27T04:29:03+00:00

So, where are all the men? ... I mean they exist, they're just not going to college.

So Vice's headline is a lie. There are enough men.

Maybe the sexist distribution of scholarships, government aid, and other incentives favoring women that continue after they're the majority has something to do with them not going to college. And nothing is stopping the women from asking out the guys outside of college. Nothing besides the women themselves, which would seem to make their lack of taking responsibility the problem according to the article.

This article gets written every month, just rotating the media outlet copying it each time. Vice isn't even pretending it has any edge left.

TR6Cool · 2015-09-27T12:09:10+00:00

VICE is a feminist, misandric online magazine. I would not expect anything less. There is not a shortage of men. What they are saying is there is a shortage of men "women want to choose to marry"! Slightly different.

In the age group 16 to 50 there are actually more men than women in western society.

garbledcluster · 2015-09-27T14:16:04+00:00

This tripe again. It's amazing to see how women setting unrealistic standards for men somehow turns around and becomes men's fault for failing to meet these arbitrary standards.

HoundDogs · 2015-09-27T14:06:17+00:00

Sleep in the bed you make. Feminism has overreached and the natural result of that will be detrimental to women.

Anq · 2015-09-27T08:01:07+00:00

I guess I had better start working on my Gender Studies degree, then. Chicks fucking love Gender Studies degrees.

indi01 · 2015-09-27T13:04:15+00:00

AHAHAH I hope they are enjoying their feminist utopia at least!

But let's admit it, they are making some progress. They are at least recognising that the cause of the issue is the female drive to mate up (although they don't mention the word hypergamy). I thought they would have blamed men again for being immature peter pans who don't want to man up and give up their videogames...

Keiichi81 · 2015-09-27T14:05:14+00:00

So once again, men's problems aren't problems worth considering until they tangentially affect women in a negative way.

Men are being increasingly outnumbered by women in college and women are receiving a massively disproportionate number of degrees to men? Not a problem.

There aren't enough "eligible" men (eligible defined as being financially worthy of a woman's attention) because not enough men are attending or graduating from college anymore? Now we got a problem...

Wargame4life · 2015-09-27T11:34:53+00:00

it genuinely makes me laugh that somewhere there are many women with useless liberal arts degrees, laden with student debt and working in shitty jobs, thinking "they are too clever" to date some IT specialist who earns well over six figures and never went to college.

MRA-automatron-2kb · 2015-09-27T01:52:53+00:00

Where are all the kind uneducated women?

SweatDrinker · 2015-09-27T10:58:10+00:00

Thank you! Finally an archive article that I can read on mobile.

Netaro · 2015-09-28T08:28:29+00:00

Left with no options? Oh, cry me a fucking river while I play a small violin.

Wargame4life · 2015-09-27T11:32:37+00:00

lol cry me a river princesses, i have a good degree and a good job, and absolutely zero desire to date some entitled cunt who thinks someone must have a degree to be with them.

if a girl said i would never date a guy without a degree, i would next her despite having a degree (in physics no less)

OpenPacket · 2015-09-28T21:59:57+00:00

Who would want a coddled Western whore anyway? Once you actually see how girls in the rest of the world behaves, it seems bizarre to settle for a Western girl.
