So I had several women that were pretty forward with me. Asked me to hang out, etc. I was too nice to say "no". But after that one time, they generally never asked again. |

Getting desperate for a mate as an unmarried senior at BYU sometimes leads to disasters. Just ask Farrah. |

What is shocking to me is that the figure for married grads is 60% and leaders are talking about a big problem. What is the problem??
You want to see the church divorce rate go up. Find a way to force that other 40% to get married before they get out of college. I wonder if anyone consults psychologists or sociologists. Wait, I forgot we don't need to do that because everything concerning BYU comes from God. |

Nerds are especially intimidated and BYU continues to narrow those who can come in favor of nerds. You can't have it both ways. |

I don't doubt a shift in the mean or median dating experience but nobody has presented systematic evidence of a significant shift. Elder Oaks speech is probably the best evidence of a shift but it doesn't really get at magnitudes.
In my personal experience at BYU in the 90s I observed that the dating distribution was very concentrated. Pretty yet approachable girls where asked out very frequently. On the other hand, girls that were beautiful but less approachable often only had a few dates a semester. Steelblue's example could easily fit within pattern. I don't doubt a shift but I would like to see a whole lot better evidence before we indict BYU males or females in general. |

Also true. Everyone knows that smart girls who are cute are "accomplished" and smart guys who don't play sports are nerds. Welcome to the new Y.
