A friend of mine (let's call him Bob to protect his anonymity) completed his MBA/JD at a nice school in Pittsburgh last year. This (edited) email exchange between us amused me, then it depressed me.

Hey Bob,

[incriminating portion deleted] But the male:female ratio is 3:1, which is no good. (I'm sure it was something similar for you.)

Scott, Scott, Scott . . . I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but most guys in grad school don't have active sex lives. Unless they come in already married/engaged or something like that. As the semester goes on, you will agonize more and more about this until eventually you just give up trying (because you will realize that time you are spending trying to get a women into bed is time not being spent on your studies). And so the vicious cycle begins.

Then, next semester you will lower your standards and expectations so low that you and your guy friends will actually talk about hooking up with that 45-yr-old woman in Career Services. Yup, I've seen it happen all before. You've got a tough couple years ahead of you, but you will not be the only guy going through it. I should write a book on this phenomenom.

I will say this about business school women - they are much more sexually liberated than law school women. But they only seemed to be willing to hook-up after those informal school functions (i.e., Friday happy hour, Company info sessions, etc.) The key is to take them out of the stressful school mode/environment and into a much more relaxed setting. After 4 years
of this, I guess I know this dynamic rather well.

Hope all else is well,
Bob
