<p>How hard is dating in New York City and Southern California? I’ve heard so many horror stories about the dating scene in New York, that there are 200,000 more single women than men, that people are too career focused so they don’t make time to commit to relationships. I’ve heard that it’s a more easier to date in Southern California. I ask this question because I’m homeschooled, never had a boyfriend before and I want to date in college. I’m looking to apply to colleges like USC, NYU, Pace, Fordham, UCLA, Pepperdine, SDSU, LMU.</p>
<p>This is bizarre. Even for CC.</p>
<p>well, I go to nyu and 63% of students are women, and I would guess half the men are gay. But you’re in a city where you’re surrounded by millions of guys, so that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I’ve been to pace and visited fordham and columbia several times, and there’s definitely more straight guys there, although i think girls are the majority in college now. As for being career-focused, sure there’s some people like that, but we’re college students, not middle-aged professionals…the dating scene isn’t bad at all, although I would guess soCal is better. Plus it attracts more fun-in-the-sun types.</p>
<p>Do check the male to female ratio carefully in the colleges’ stats. Ask enrolled students questions when you visit the schools if a “dating” culture exists as opposed to a hookup culture.</p>
<p>I go to Fordham at Lincoln Center, right in Manhattan. Heterosexual dating is hard, since we have something like a 60/40 women to men ratio, respectively, and of that 40% of guys, more than half are gay. But there are millions of people outside of school, right in the city available for you to date. There isn’t an issue…But there are plenty of other things to take into consideration before the dating scene, especially considering two schools like NYU and USC.</p>

<p>i agree. (10char)</p>
<p>Samsizzle and PlattsburghLoser if you think that my question was so bizarre then don’t post on my thread, you’re wasting your time. No one forced you to post in this thread and make stupid comments. Thank you collegebound91, alix2012 and fauve for having the maturity and the kindness to answer my question.</p>

<p>Thirded.</p>
<p>It sounds like you’re choosing the best college to find a date. Which is not only bizarre, but lame.</p>
<p>BTW, keep off the internet if you can’t handle opinions.</p>
<p>I’m NOT choosing the best college to find a date. I’m going to college to learn first and foremost. I can handle opinions but there’s no need to be rude about it.</p>
<p>I’m sorry. I should have been more understanding to your desperation of getting date and worry of never finding one in a city of 8.3 million people. Please forgive me.</p>
<p>I also agree that telling people to leave your thread, (how much did you pay for it, by the way?) is certainly a mature way to handle different opinions. Sarcasm is my, certainly mature, preferred method.</p>

<p>My six-word-post caused all of this? Who shat in the Frosted Flakes this morning?</p>
<p>this thread is full of lulz</p>
