I chose A&M over UT and...

Sorry, I was probably responding to ResurgamBell and the entire thread more so than your individual post.



I don’t know when you were “at A&M” but I actually know few women at A&M that want any type of exclusive relationship.



I’m not quite sure what the “at A&M” with quotes is supposed to mean. Just because you don’t agree with me about something doesn’t negate the fact that I went to A&M. I walked from WCG to Blocker twice a week one semester (which was a pain in the ass), would skip out of a class over in the architecture building to walk over to the Chick-Fil-A at the Underground (which was a better walk), I usually parked in the golf parking lot at night when going to Evans because if I parked near the meteorology building or architecture, I’d get confused over which lot I parked in, and I always took the crossing walk next to the Corner bar instead of Loupot’s because it cycled faster.

Oh yeah, and I have this piece of paper that says that I went to A&M.

But getting back to your post, I did say a lot of girls. I never said every single girl I met at A&M was like that. Like you, I did know some girls who weren’t looking for anything or didn’t know what they wanted at all. But a lot of the girls I met and knew at A&M were pursuing serious relationships right off the bat. A&M is the only big university that I know of where it wasn’t unusual for kids to get married before they graduated college. Hell, last time I was at the rec, one of the student workers there had just recently gotten married.

Just from my personal experience, if you compare A&M to Tech, I think per capita, there are probably more girls at A&M (while enrolled) who are open to finding a guy who will lead into something more down the road. For me, this was a double-edged sword. I could meet a girl that I really liked but I didn’t want a pre-determined path. I just wanted whatever happens to happen. For me, it’s like I want to ride the roller coaster but I don’t want to know how the tracks are laid beforehand or how long the ride is going to last.

I actually had a friend of mine who transferred from A&M to Tech because he said he got tired of meeting girls that were already in serious relationships. Actually, I think the real reason he transferred to Tech was for personal reasons but I could see his point.



Most women (and men for that matter) want to “play the field” (again, no negative connotation here). Just because there are small town country girls at A&M whom seem to want to get married right after high school doesn’t defeat the fact that there are also many whom don’t want that.



And I never said that there weren’t. I said a lot, not every one. That doesn’t include all of them. I knew quite a few BIMS majors who, like you said, weren’t into anything serious.
