> Seriously you just have to work on it - dating post college is much more work (for all genders and orientations) - like multiple dates a week for months to find someone you click with.

I agree with this (and the rest of what you said - MTV isn't feasible for young starving artists or baristas) but this is so much harder when you can barely get any dates.

That's actually my point: the real problem in SFBA isn't having a diverse romantic life (though that's also virtually impossible): it's finding a pool of candidates large enough to have a real shot at finding a compatible spouse, if you're a man.

Precisely because it can take dozens of dates to find one good spouse, one must realize that engineers who can't find dates for years (as someone commented below from his own experience) will have virtually no chance of finding a compatible partner.

And even if you are lucky enough to score several dates and find a woman who is compatible, you'll often quickly discover that she has her own wait-list of qualified candidates, and you are unfortunately not at its top.
