Kind of a weirdly specific question, but bear with. I’m a woman, in the UK and just been reflecting on social opportunities for young men vs women. And if that influences their decision to attend university, after finishing school. It certainly did for me. The prospect of meeting countless people your own age just makes it so much easier to envision a community. Universities in the UK are around 55-60% female on average so that gives ample opportunities for young men to casually mix with women. But I’m aware many young men prefer to do a vocation after school, so may take on an apprenticeship. How is dating and romance like for those of you who’ve been through that/are going through that? I know some sectors like construction/skilled trades are very heavily dominated by men, often much older men too. So it’s interesting to hear from younger guys about what navigating dating is like? And what sort of organic social opportunities, beyond dating apps, should exist for people who chose not to go to university? Thanks for any feedback. There’s lots of questions around “why go to uni if you’re not guaranteed a job with your useless degree??” But that’s why I’m thinking about the non-professional reasons why people attend university. Edit: I’m not searching for specific details or stories, just a general sense of what it feels like navigating an environment where you don’t have built-in opportunities to meet young women. submitted by /u/coffeewalnut08
