Being a graduate student at a California State University means that I am surrounded by a lot assertive, driven women who know what they want out of life. Sadly, what they want out of life is rarely my dick. I have conversation skills and I reserve a portion of my budget for entertainment that does not include massive multiplayer video games. By mathematician standards I’m like the Dos Equis guy. While I may not be particularly handsome, when my competition has the combined social abilities of a bottle of Asperger’s medication you would think I’d be more popular.
Science has my back on this one, and they might have figured out why. According to research from the University of Texas in San Antonio, women tend to pursue high paying careers when there is a lack of suitable men in the area. They examined the ratio of males to females and compared it to the percentage of women in high paying careers.
According to that data:
“Sex ratios involving a scarcity of men led women to seek lucrative careers because of the difficulty women have in finding an investing, long-term mate under such circumstances. Accordingly, this low-male sex ratio produced the strongest desire for lucrative careers in women who are least able to secure a mate. These findings demonstrate that sex ratio has far-reaching effects in humans, including whether women choose briefcase over baby.”
First of all, whenever a study says “baby” we all know they mean sex. College age women don’t want babies, but a lot of older ones do want committed relationships. The same theories apply in this situation. If women have to become more independent for their emotional and financial needs, they’re going to work harder to compensate.
While the ratios strongly favor females in my department, we’re talking about a bunch of pointdexters who are too scared of women to talk to them. So while I may be a big old chubby bag of pure charm, the lack of competition has made women unwilling to play the game. That or I’m more obnoxious than I think. In that case, fuck you all.
So there you have it fellas! For the good of us all, step your game up. You might just get lucky yourself and the collective effort will only benefit everyone.
