According to ABS Australia
| Quote: | About 5% of the pop. aged 35-64 years in 2006-2007.
Men with lower levels of education were more likely never to have partnered (10.4% of men with no non-school quals. compared to 5% for those with non-school quals.).
Women with non-school quals. were more likely not to partner (about 5%).
Almost 15% of men not working in 2006-2007 were not with a partner.

So study up guys! Your chances of getting married or partnered will be incredibly high as you get a degree at uni or some college 
This is my last year of uni, and I am still a bachelor! Its getting better soon |

| I'm glad that's the case. Not sure if it will really help, but at least it'll improve my chance, statistically speaking. |

Aha! I'll wager it's not the qualifications, it's the money. Though as they correlate (I think), I guess it doesn't matter much.
I wonder what would happen to people who got a masters degree in sustainable relationship management? |

My plan: accumulate wealth. Get a nice, nice place, like a loft in a high rise, make it the most fashionable, beautiful place money can buy, build my name as a filmmaker, accumulate awards and recognition...
Then SURELY someone would be willing to love me. |

| I think part of it has to do with interacting with people you own age at college. So if you jus sit in your room the whole time it won't really help |

Easier way would be to go down-market when looking for a mate. Some of those are very frugal and cheap to run, and I get the impression they'd contribute money themselves if they could get anything like decent jobs. It's good if they have the extended vocabulary as well though, if you're into talking. There's still a few of those around I think.
In a few years this "man-gives-woman-money" thing might lose its edge, now that women's earnings are getting even with the guys. Might even find one who's too proud to let you work. Don't bank on it though. |

I think what it comes down to is women sure as hell don't seem interested in what's on the inside. I am capable of so much good, I only just need time to do it, and would love if someone would bother to give me a chance, to see what I am deep down. Instead, they all seem interested in appearance, money, upward mobility. It's just a slightly more evolved take on peacock feathers and shiny scales, only it's shiny diamonds and loft apartments.
So I'm going to make myself into someone a woman will love and want to be with, and accumulate as much as I can to win SOMEONE's love. |

I don't know why, but the topic title made me think of BA in Romance Studies, or a Bachelor of Romance (BRom) in Relationships  |

The other guy's right.........they're not all gold-diggers. If you want to improve your partner chances, forget the tail-feathers and focus on increasing the number of women you meet. If what you describe doesn't exist (someone to give you a chance and see what you are deepdown), then you may as well forget women. But I think some of them are OK. Like men, most are somewhat selfish and flawed, IMHO. So meet them and evaluate them, and decide.. |

To be honest, it's about making yourself marketable, people want what is desired and having a high social value or fame shows that. You can have a degree from Cambridge or Harvard yet if you lack the means to emotionally connect or bond with someone, you aren't going to get very far.
As for guys who complain that women aren't giving them chances, well of course it's more difficult to create a good first impression when you are on the spectrum. It doesn't mean you aren't attractive or a good partner, it just means that you don't have the best marketing skills which can hinder you in employment and relationships. |

No, they won't. It has to do with a lot more than just that. It may be true for NTs, maybe...

You should study because you want to improve your knowledge and develop your potential, not because you think that will allow you to hook up with someone...

I'd say this is an accurate description. |

Machf, remember its money right. Indeed I am always in my room because I am studying and that. Sometimes I go out and study as well like group sessions, library or computer lab etc. But still not much of social setting because people are studying as well. I know it could be a problem for me finding someone, at uni is a little down at the moment because lot of people want do fun stupid things involving alcohol and smoke weed. So they aren't the ones for me.
Wolfheart: Yes so true. I am a little scared about leaving uni because the dispersion of women becomes lesser and lesser (only at around my age etc) as I head to career and travelling. At uni its clustered, but leave uni it becomes uniform or whatever you can call for. That what makes me feel uneasy about the opportunity. |

you have said some very horrible things about former crushes. perhaps women are sensing a potential capability for extreme anger and/or hate.
