Does dating life get better here than in high school

To actually try to answer the original question, yes I found the dating scene better at MIT than I did in HS. Though that was not simply because of parental absence, the lubricating effects of alcohol, or the overnerd need for human touch (whatever the heck that means).

I found it better because I grew up a lot there. I started to work out who I really was, and became much more comfortable with myself, which had a number of effects not least of which it made me simultaneously more relaxed and more attractive. For what it is worth, my longest relationship while at MIT was with a young woman who went to Boston University who I met at a party and just clicked with. She was quite smart but somehow, SAT scores never came up in conversation (grin).
