In Topics: University Female Stupidity
At the bottom of our post last week entitled University Bubble Housing, we foreshadowed this post, saying "Next time: What one can't help noticing around campus."
Since I'd looked at a whole bunch of stats on the University in question with the rapidly growing housing capacity yet questionable growth prospects, I wanted to discuss one of them in particular. That is the sex ratio, often mistakenly called gender ratio, which I must admit, is probably clearer in this context than sex ratio. (Sounds like "who's gettin' any?") Here is that pie chart:
Let me get a couple of things out of the way here. Firstly, I'm sure most Peak Stupidity readers are aware of societal trends enough to know that the numbers of University enrollees would be skewed toward woman at this point. Secondly, the reasons and the implications have probably been discussed by you all, likely in the comments section of the old iSteve blog, as that's well within Steve Sailer's wheelhouse. Therefore, I won't get into all that here.
This is one university, so to get more general data, I did my best with my sorry-assed search skills on the www. For the recent few years, I get the ratio for the whole US as anywhere from 57.4% women to right at the numbers for this school, approaching 60% women. Oh, so it's significant, but the number of women is only 20% more than the number of men. No, this is why some of us went to the university!... besides that there are so many women there - ;-} - that's 50% more women than men! Nice! (If you're horny.)
That means that if you sit there at the student union and wonder if you'll be able to get chicks, you can think "I'll write off 1/3 of these girls as too homely and we're still even." Does that work? Some say no. I was not in a fraternity, so your mileage (heh) may vary.
Is there anything that we can notice that has changed due to this now-heavily-female-skewed university attendance. Yeah, Noticing. I'm no Steve Sailer, but I still have that Y chromosome, so I can't HELP but notice some things at the university campus or within a mile radius.
Butt cheeks. You can see a lot more. Perhaps the girls were generally slimmer when I went to college, which is very important, but of the many who are now, I have noticed this trend. They wear shorts that show significant amounts of material that I don't recall were visible years ago. It's something else, I tells ya'.
I see a correlation, with the observational numbers - I mean, I can't go measuring parts of people - and the theory, which supposes that these young ladies, many, or probably most, there to start that MRS degree, have to "work" harder these days to attract attention, since they outnumber the men 3:2. There's more competition and that means that you've got to show off more skin than the next
Since I've brought up Steve Sailer throughout this post, let me take a cue from him and propose a law, somewhat (but not) akin to his Law of Female Journalism.*
Peak Stupidity's Law of Female University Student Hotness: The higher the female/male enrollment ratio at a university, the higher the average amount of ass cheek visible.
Sociological Observation. We have not even gotten our research grants approved yet. Still, it's what we thanklessly do here.
* You'll have to read the book, or, yeah, look it up on the www, for the exact wording.

PS: Hello Alarmist. Good ones, both. I'd never heard of that quote by Maha Rushie, nor even heard of Maha Rushie.
Your 3rd paragraph is like the interesting discussions on the subject under the Steve Sailer threads. This Feminism thing, especially at this stage, is not working out well for ANYONE,... except the few guys who get all those short shorts/ tennis short wearing chicks.

PS: M, good point about the major of Psychology. The departments are full of girls (possibly not the most stable ones either). Right, if they poll you in person (no pun intended whatsoever), yeah, how do you answer, and still possibly get a date out of it?

PS: SafeNow, interesting comment.
Yes, for a man who does appreciate modesty (which we generally do once we HAVE some young lady, the first goal for these women is getting men's eyes on them. On the campus with, 15,000 girls around and only 10,000 men, there's a lot of competition to stand out. Those short shorts, miniskirts (actually tennis skirts seem to be the thing) must be what's working.
That moment-of-truth-later deal may have worked in the old days - not so sure about that - or it might in Moslem societies, where who knows what's inside that pup tent. We're gonna find the truth out soon enough. Is that enough time to perhaps realize that "hey, she's no so hot, but a very good person"? Does that even work?
It's tough. Then there's the thing about going to college to, like, learn stuff. They can be a distraction, and then college is set up to cater to the women more which also means less serious learning.

Finally, a university bubble I can get behind.
As the Maha Rushie used to say, "I like the feminist movement, particularly when I'm walking behind it."
Seriously, though, the implications of the evolution of demographics of Universities is problematic due to hypergamy. Unless women start dating and mating more "lower statu" males, we're likely to end up with a generation of middle-aged, childless, wine-drinking cat ladies.
I guess the brown imports will pick up the mantle of Western Civilization ... I'll be dead, but won't somebody please think of the future White children?

Sorry, I will unpack a little.
Those studies are generally done by psychology students. On (mostly) other psychology students. Which is the most popular "science" major.
Also even more heavily female-weighted than the college average.
If you're a male who's been roped into one of these studies, what are you going to say to the (likely female) interviewer?

Revealed preferences. Who gets dates? Who gets married?

PS.
Men say in studies that they prefer women who dress modestly to women who dress provocatively. Do women know this? Women who dress in a skankilly eye-catching manner are hoping to trigger an approach, after which their screening skills will enable them to discern whether the guy is a just a lustful jerk, or good husband material. And their filtering skills might well be quite competent. But what they miss are the men who so strongly prefer modesty and detest meretriciousness, that they do not approach in the first place.
Men are wired to prefer a body type in which waist size is 60 to 70 percent of hip size. So what can a college gal do? - - she could try to change her ratio by doing a grueling butt workout every day. Or, the lazy way…she could wear padded underwear under her modest clothing… and deal with the moment of truth later.

I did talk with a couple of girls in psychology when I was in university (which was some time ago).
One said she thought most people went into psychology in an attempt to figure out what was wrong with their own psyches.
