Re: Odds of meeting your spouse at MBA

I have visited an ample amount of schools and visited many cities. As a single male who will never get married or have children (I don't like to be tied down and ruin my life), one of my biggest priorities are women. I will break down each school and cities women:
*Note: This is the opinion of me and me only. Everything was written for humor (although with a lot of truth) and to kill time during this intense application season.
1. CBS: By far the most beautiful women I have seen at all the MBA programs I have visited, even the info sessions had an abundant amount of beautiful ladies. It's also NYC, where the women outnumber the men by half a million. I told a friend that being in NYC was akin to being in a Psychology class, they outnumbered the men and 70% were beautiful.
2. Stern: A decent amount of beautiful women. It's hard to say if the school as a whole has good looking women because the campus is spread out the entire city, but from what I saw in class and the area in which it was located, it deserves the #2 rank. The info session was tiny compared to Columbia, so there were only 2 women who showed up, but one of them was pretty. The admission's rep who took us around looked and talked exactly like Jamie Lynn Discala
3. HBS: Born and raised in Boston where I spent 22 years, I can tell you regardless of what the movie -"Ted" says, the women here are very beautiful. They might be a little more picky as to the type of guys they look for, even downright racist, but they know what they want. The women at HBS were pretty, but I think it has to do with its diverse international student body. I was actually pretty amazed at how down to earth everyone was, including the women. I'm sure in their mind, they are set for life, which gives them a very approachable demeanor.
4. Wharton: Overall, everyone in the city of Philly, UPenn, and Wharton are more the cute "girl next door" types. People aren't too overly concerned with outwardly appearances but they are pretty in their own right.
5. Haas: A little bit biased here, but this was my undergrad and I lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 7 years. Although the women aren't as pretty as the others schools ranked above, it is California. Warmer weather leads to less clothing, and gives the appeal that they might be better looking. California in general, especially for the large cities (SF, LA, Man Jose, SD) have the men outnumbering the women by large quantities. It's the great sausage state, so the competition is rather stiff.
6. Kellogg: Not going to lie, Chicago and its surrounding area is lacking in the good looks department. I was very shocked to not find beautiful women, even when I was proactively hunting for them. My friend told me it's due to the midwest talent pool. But I found a decent amount of pretty women here, so it alleviated some concerns about moving to Illinois.
7. Johnson: Ithaca, what can I say? I think I saw about 4-5 women here, and 3 of them weren't bad. I guess that's a good percentage then?
8. Yale SOM: No, just no.
9. Booth: Read #6, this school exemplified it. The women here were not nice at all, especially since the environment felt very cut throat competitive, it made the women even more unattractive. The vibe I was getting from the women can be summed up to being miserable, depressing, suicidal, and irritable. I had a conversation with one of the students at Haas and she pretty much summed it up "Booth's facility is amazing. But it's a real bubble from Chicago, because the students have to be protected from the misery."
I still have UCLA and Marshall left to go, but I can tell you already it's going to end up high on the list. Opinions? haha
