Disclaimer: This article is not meant to attack males at SUNY New Paltz. It is a light-hearted piece that tells the experience of some females at SUNY New Paltz.
1. Population of Females: 70%
Population of Males: 30%
Good luck.
This means for every seven girls, there are three guys available. While the pool of candidates is smaller in New Paltz than in the real world, this isn’t a valid reason to settle for less.
2. A lot of girls are feening for the three decent-looking guys on campus.
Since your options are limited, the “okay” looking guys are overrated and given too much attention. Remember he’s not hot, he’s “New Paltz Hot.”
3. You found out the guy you thought was cute is actually gay.
You thought the day finally came. Then he tells you he’s gay; but hey you can always be life long friends…right?
4. Your crush already has 2 exes on campus.
It could work out but then you may run into his exes at Oscar’s…and there’s always the possibility that you’ll become the third ex.
5. He’s trying to pursue you while also getting at three other girls– which may very well be your suitemate, classmate, or a first-year.
Love triangles make everything hawkward. Classes are hard enough, plus you’re not getting paid to be on reality TV.
6. The one guy you would go out with has a girlfriend.
Just when you thought there was nothing wrong with him, there’s one little problem: he’s cuffed. And she’s not even “that pretty”… according to your friends.
7. The new guy in your Intro class is cute…but he’s a first-year. #HesTooYoungForYouBro
You could give it a try but don’t be surprised when your mom says she told you so.
8. You’re tired of him serenading other women on the Quad.
The only one he should be singing to is you!
9. He would rather turn up on a Tuesday at Oasis than cuddle to Netflix.
Nothing like partying with 18-year-olds.
Moral of the story: consider looking elsewhere.
