I think you mean with luck everyone won't. If everyone got older the sex ratio would not improve.

The one downfall of college is that it is such a status game if you want the better looking girls. At schools like the University of Florida, Greek Life dominates the social scene meaning if you are not affiliated with them then the better looking girls won't want anything to do with you since they will usually be in sororities, a lot of the better looking girls are usually in sororities. Also, college athletes get their pick of the litter as well. Everyone else is practically fighting for the rest of the female population which I don't think is that different from the real world.

Absolutely depending how you approach it. I did well in college, but really hit my stride after. If I was single now in the right city I'm positive I could do better than most college kids. I don't think its until 30s it starts to slow. No reason a guy in his 20s can't do even better.

I go to college in Manhattan, and Greek Life is almost non-existent here for the most part.

That would explain a lot then. At your traditional colleges it dominates the scene though, frat boys in the right fraternity get their pick of hot girls and so do college athletes, everyone else is playing the game on hard mode in college regardless of looks or game.

Come on, college boy, use your brain. Don't you know anything about governing dynamics???

There are great-looking girls who aren't into the Greek scene. But they may be shy, or the more creative types, studying art or music. Some are studying international relations, or poli sci. Some are in nursing. It never ceases to amaze me as to how clueless men are about where to find the kind of women they're interested in. But I guess that's true of a lot of people at that age, women included.

How did you manage to sleep with 15-20 different women per year in college? Were you in a fraternity or a college athlete?

I would like to know because I am tall, good looking, and am having some issues at my university (University of Florida). Heading into my last year of college so joining greek life is not really an option, they are very strict about who they let into fraternities and they strongly prefer freshman and sophomores. Some outright reject upperclassmen for the most part and being that I only have 1 year left, I am going to have a hard time getting a bid.

Problem is, if you major in something that will get you a future in college, there is a lot of time spent in academics. I am a chemistry major and life is hard for me at times due to labs eating up so much time and hard classes as well.

I have to be honest though, a part of me has always wanted to sleep with the blonde bombshell type that loves to party and have fun. Can't have that in college without being in a fraternity though. Bleh, guess that's life.
