#92Business Insider has run several articles of the urban college female "problem". With 30% more females obtaining college degrees currently than males plus that males generally dont marry up, there is a surplus of 20-something college females in all metropolitan areas except San Francisco and Washington DC. Good news for guys then. One silly article tried explain the success of hookup apps is that more desperate femal…
Funny you bring this up.
I was on a date last Thursday and this girl (29 yrs old) was constantly trying to figure out how she was better than me....IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE.
For example, she went on and on about how she is a badass since she went to the Amazon forests to a nice touristy shack with a guide and a bar. She told stories of hammocks, mosquito nets, snakes, insects and other wild stuff.
After a long time, she finally asked, "Tell me something about yourself...what adventures have you done? Or do you just do some programming stuff" (stereotyping of software engineers is rampant)
I simply smiled at her and said, "I backpacked through the forests in India without tour guides and ate wood-fried insects for lunch" (all true)
She was surprised....and all of a sudden, the average me piqued her interest. She couldn't believe that I had done better than her in pretty much everything.
Now she wanted me....but I didn't...not anymore.
I'm 27. I want practical, non-judgemental girls...not massive egos.

#93Most interesting connection I saw: "Eligibility Interviewers, Government Programs" "Unemployed, with no work experience in last 5 years"
Hah! They must marry their customers.
For some of the couples, yes. Some more might result from corruption or fraud (e.g. "I'll make sure my colleague processes your paperwork... he'll make sure you get accepted")
Or, less cynically, some could be because it's easier for spouses of someone who is in the bureaucratic system to navigate/utilize it.

#94I guess I should stop using Tinder/OkCupid, and start going to teacher meetings
Teachers and Nurses appear often simply because there are a lot of them compared to all other occupations. There are, say, 100times more female teachers than female X for all other X. Most common human Bayesian fallacy: forgetting the priors.
All the cute nurses I've met are married. They seem to get married at a young age (20-23).

#95This is absolutely brutal to use. I'd like to search for something specific but can't ctrl-f, and visually searching is useless. Very cool in concept
Type your search into the search box labeled "Select a job..."

Males generally dont marry up? Couple things come to mind. Throughout my time, I've seen that women have their fair share of not wanting to marry down either. You want to say generalizations generalizations. Sure, but I think the age old stereotypes do have a hint of truth to them and the Bloomberg page here also states, "High-earning women (doctors, lawyers) tend to pair up with their economic equals, while middle-…

#99Agricultural workers marry each other a lot. Also lawyers and judges marry each other. Software developers too. But apparently we also like to marry nurses, middle school teacher and accountants. But male and male marriages for software developers are somehow with recreation and fitness workers.
Meter readers don't marry other meter readers too much. Guess,once you define something so narrowly it would present a different picture.
Education related professions seem to marry other education-related professions but in administrative positions (or "other instructors") and somehow also marry various "managers"
And truckers apparently are fond of bartenders, just like dentists seems to like to dental hygienists.

#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
She means it's also good news for her...
The surplus is caused by a lack of suitable males, implying a surplus of heterosexual females. Unless a lot of these females are bi, it's not much of a boost.
And I think now you are touching on the other part of her comment...
1. Sexuality - particularly with women, in my experience - is variable: hetro women can and do consider other women as viable sexual partners, even if they don't consider them long term partners;
2. The implication of a "surplus of hetero females" is flawed given that bi and homo females do, in fact, exist and aren't properly accounted for. Not every single female in that surplus is available to you. In fact, some of them are available exclusively to "themselves" if you were.
