A Realistic Opinion of the ISU / Women Culture Scene.

[Go2Guy]

a) I lived in Ames from 1961-99, and traveled the country extensively and I can tell you for a fact that there were/are as many attractive, well-mannered, approachable woman on campus there as anywhere else.

b)Perhaps they weren't turning their noses up at men, but at you and your attitude.

c)We don't need you to care about our problems, it appears you have enough of your own.

Look dude, just because we had different experiences, doesn't mean you have to cop an attitude. I just agreed with the OP and I wasn't getting personal with you, yet you act as if I'm talking about your daughter.

[Go2Guy]

Seriously I don't care when you went, or where you are now. This is just one of the most stupid threads I have seen lately mainly because of timing and then your lack of caring...

If there was a way to vote on threads and posts like people were asking about today, this might be in the running.

I'm sorry the problems facing the U of I football team have this amount of affect on you.

I don't think you understand how much the "problems" make the rest of Iowa look bad. I, for one, don't want to make "Iowa" synonymous with "rape cover-up." You may have to give a few of us a little lee-way for being freaked out right now. I may pick on EIU but I seriously would never expect something as heinous as these allegations make it out to be.

Perhaps a student-only poll would be the way to go to determine if our female students are perceived as attractive as other universities.

Keep in mind a couple of things: a) I went to ISU in the late 70's, when the ratio was different, and didn't live in a frat. ( b) I'm living out of state and not swamped by the local news and I don't care about the problems at Iowa.

Wow, wait. So, you don't care about someone's life being ruined at the U of I, but you DO care about their ratio of "hot chicks" to ISU's? AND you haven't even been on campus in 30 years?

I care about the life that was ruined. I don't care about the saturation of news regarding the problems of the UI administrators to the point where I feel that's the only topic to participate on this message board.

And I was just on the ISU campus in June

I never had a problem finding good looking women in Ames. A hell of a lot more interesting than the spoiled girls from suburban Chicago that were to dumb to get into Illinois over in IC, I might add...

There have been several threads discussing the women of Iowa State before, specifically I remember people commenting on the lack of girls in the College of Engineering. I'm not sure why everyone is jumping on this guy all of a sudden. I realize his timing is bad, but he is also out of state, and, oh my god, probably doesn't know every single news story going on in Iowa.

I know I didn't care about the scandal in Colorado, or the Baylor one.

And spring semester lets out in early May... just sayin.

Our former babysitter is an ISU student, and she modelled for "Cosmopoliton".

Are ISU students, both men and women, attractive? Sure.

Am I worried about the "social scene" at ISU? Provided that both my teenaged daughters are going there, I am "worried", but for different reasons that you are think of, I think.
