I'm a woman who lives in a college town famous for its high quality Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science degrees. So the woman to man ratio in the 20-30 age group is like 1:4 at best.

So a lot of guys I'm friends with just don't get laid cause the math doesn't work out 🤷

Some of them tho... should probably do a bit of soul-searching first. Being dismissive about "female interests" like makeup and the gym while also being weirdly fetishistic about "gamer grill interests" like cosplay and video games just makes talking to them really hard. Like, they'll always look at everything you say through a lens of "how does that benefit ME?" - Talking to them is a literal minefield.

Another factor is also that they'll exclusively hang out in male spaces and just expect women to show up and talk to them somehow??? Like yeah, don't sign up to ballet just to creep on women, but expanding your horizon beyond Friday Night Magic won't kill you. I've heard Lorcana is great, and there are plenty of women playing it at my local game store.. just casually talking to them during a game would be a normal human interaction
