Odds of meeting your spouse at MBA

This is too funny! LOL

Hahahahahah ... Now I see the Trend , just curios '' How would a prospective HF Manager make your life even happier and make you feel more loved.

I thought marriages thrive more on things like - Understanding , Respect, Adjustments and Humor.

I hope you have found your man by now. Good Luck in case you have not.

Best.

It seems we're lacking a west coast perspective. As a female, I visited UCLA, Stanford and Cal and I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by the women, although ucla had a few standouts. Same for the guys, but there are definitely some attractive international (south american) students.

Full disclosure - i did however go to USC, which probably has skewed my expectations. Also, as a former female undergrad, I have to say that while I was in school, I found the Marshall MBA's incredibly creepy, as they would get really drunk at tailgates and collectively hit on undergrad girls walking through campus.

Among the top 10 programs, there seems to be a consensus that Kellogg has the hottest girls. Also, I was surprised at the number of hotties I saw when I visited Wharton. I was totally not expecting that. But they do have the highest percentage of women among the top schools.

hahaha

i am currently accepting applications

food is a close second for sure.

Has to be UCLA, USC (if you like busty blondes), NYU, CBS (if you like Jewish brunettes). My recommendations are based more off the school's location than the class itself.

If you're willing to look beyond the obvious, you may be sucessful. I TOTALLY unexpectedly met my spouse in my last graduate program. He was a professor.

Where's the gay and lesbian perspective?!?!?!?!?

my parents want me to find gf too and living where i am this place is really not a place to meet singles at all... It is a nice thought meeting singles in B school but what about post mba - wont it be really tough to stick together etc? one step at a time i guess.

This thread just ate into an hour of essaying.. and gosh, much needed this break. I'll post my reviews post getting in to a school for now, I'll just say Fuqua tops my list as a fella for options though Haas and UCLA are close seconds.

This thread is hilarious.. kept me sane for at least an hour or so while waiting for an admit call

to keep this thread going - a previous comment mentioned the 'friend zone' and it reminded me of the classic website/theory, laddertheory.com, which I read as an undergrad.. although I dont wholly agree with the theory, there is some truth to it.. a friend I know suffers greatly from being stuck in the 'friend' ladder and I am running out of things to say to him (besides man up).. suggestions?

Yes, yes, yes...I knew you are a guy! but that girl I met during campus visit convinced me to believe you are a girl. It's not necessary that guys like dogs only.

BTW...one doesn't think too much to fall in love. They simply fall in love and things fall in place. If you calculate to find someone during mba, post-mba, at job, after job, retirement, post-retirement then chances are you'll remain gf-less.

lolll

did anyone have any luck at any of the admit events?? mine was ~50% married lol.

To quote Tucker Max: "The best part of Duke is that UNC is 15 minutes away and it's 60% females"

This NY Times article below confirms UNC's men shortage. He didn't go to Duke just because they gave him a full ride....

The New Math on Campus

NOTHER ladies’ night, not by choice.

After midnight on a rainy night last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., a large group of sorority women at the University of North Carolina squeezed into the corner booth of a gritty basement bar. Bathed in a neon glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and belted out lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead. As a night out, it had everything — except guys.

“This is so typical, like all nights, 10 out of 10,” said Kate Andrew, a senior from Albemarle, N.C. The experience has grown tiresome: they slip on tight-fitting tops, hair sculpted, makeup just so, all for the benefit of one another, Ms. Andrew said, “because there are no guys.”

Jayne Dallas, a senior studying advertising who was seated across the table, grumbled that the population of male undergraduates was even smaller when you looked at it as a dating pool. “Out of that 40 percent, there are maybe 20 percent that we would consider, and out of those 20, 10 have girlfriends, so all the girls are fighting over that other 10 percent,” she said.

Needless to say, this puts guys in a position to play the field, and tends to mean that even the ones willing to make a commitment come with storied romantic histories. Rachel Sasser, a senior history major at the table, said that before she and her boyfriend started dating, he had “hooked up with a least five of my friends in my sorority — that I know of.”

“A lot of my friends will meet someone and go home for the night and just hope for the best the next morning,” Ms. Lynch said. “They’ll text them and say: ‘I had a great time. Want to hang out next week?’ And they don’t respond.”

Even worse, “Girls feel pressured to do more than they’re comfortable with, to lock it down,” Ms. Lynch said.

As for a man's cheating, "that's a thing that girls let slide, because you have to," said Emily Kennard, a junior at North Carolina. "If you don't let it slide, you don't have a boyfriend." (Ms. Kennard, however, said that she does not personally tolerate cheating).

“If a guy is not getting what he wants, he can quickly and abruptly go to the next one, because there are so many of us,” said Katie Deray, a senior at the University of Georgia, who said that it is common to see six provocatively clad women hovering around one or two guys at a party or a bar.

“A lot of guys know that they can go out and put minimal effort into their appearance and not treat girls to drinks or flatter them, and girls will still flirt with them,” said Felicite Fallon, a senior at Florida State University, which is 56 percent female.

Several male students acknowledged that the math skewed pleasantly in their favor. “You don’t have to work that hard,” said Matt Garofalo, a senior at North Carolina. “You meet a girl at a late-night restaurant, she’s texting you the next day.”

But it’s not as if the imbalance leads to ceaseless bed-hopping, said Austin Ivey, who graduated from North Carolina last year but was hanging out in a bar near campus last week. “Guys tend to overshoot themselves and find a really beautiful girlfriend they couldn’t date otherwise, but can, thanks to the ratio,” he said.

And when Tucker was too lazy to drive 15 minutes....Duke isn't that bad either

Mission: Our goal in creating this zine is to raise awareness on issues surrounding Duke’s hookup culture, encourage gender equality and eliminate social myths. We hope that this will foster action-oriented discussion and inspire readers like you to not only think, but act to create desired change through collaboration.

This thread was pretty funny to read through.

I actually justified online dating to my friends by telling them it was the best practice I got for b-school and job interviews. And I've found the "I'm moving in a few months for school" line to do wonders for easily turning guys down without feeling like a jerk or lying about having a bf lol

What do you say if you actually like them? You have 4 months to convince me how awesome you are
