Colleges with the Highest Female-to-Male & Male-to-Female Ratios

When deciding on a college, you obviously want to look at academics. Which schools will give you the best education in your areas of study? But, let's face it. Some people like to have some other things factor into play, like where they are going to meet a significant other. If you're looking to find the colleges with the highest female-to-male and male-to-female ratios, then this is for you.

Citytowninfo.com has complied a list of colleges across the U.S. and ranked them by the schools with the highest female-to-male and male-to-female ratios. CityTownInfo.com is an "industry leader in higher education marketing," according to their official website.

Let's start with colleges with a high male-to-female ratio. First, one of their lists features colleges and institutions with 2,000 to 10,000 students, so these are smaller schools. They note that, "technical colleges, armed forces military academies and STEM focused schools rank highest on the list." No. 1 on the list is Citadel Military College of South Carolina, where the school is comprised 91% of men. They're followed by No. 2 with Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California (86%); No. 3 with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida (83%); the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York (83%); and the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts (82%). For medium to large colleges with students with 2,000 to 10,000 students, No. 1 is Citadel Military College of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina, which consists of 91% males. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, is No. 2, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, is No. 3.

Now, let's move onto colleges with a high female-to-male ratio. They note that "Schools in this list tend to be those that were originally colleges for women only or that have a large number of programs, such as allied health and nursing, that attract a disproportionate number of women. A notable number of colleges with high female-to-male ratios are affiliated with the Catholic faith." For medium-sized colleges, No. 1 is Notre Dame of Maryland University in Boston, with 95% women. No. 2 is The College of New Rochelle in New Rochelle, New York; and No. 3 is Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. For large colleges with more than 10,000 students, No. 1 is Texas Woman's University in Denton, with 89% women. No. 2 is Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and No. 3 is Davenport University in Grand Rapids. No. 4 is Wayne County Community College District in Detroit and No. 5 is CUNY Lehman College in the Bronx.

Dating is nothing like it was a few decades ago. Heck, dating isn't anything like it was even just a few years ago, with all the different dating apps and online ways to find love. But, one thing hasn't changed: People still want to be appealing. They want to put their best foot forward in the dating world. So, what are some ways to be more attractive and appealing when you're on a date?

Actually, this list works even if you're not looking to date or are already are in a long-term relationship. Why not be as attractive as possible just for yourself? I'm not just talking about the physical, either. There's so much more to being an appealing person than looks alone. Dictionary.com has some definitions of attractive that show the broadness of this term. They say the word means "providing pleasure or delight, especially in appearance or manner" and add that words such as "pleasing, charming and alluring" all apply. They also use the word in the context of having "an attractive personality" or "arousing interest or engaging one's thought" and "consideration."

Of course, not all definitions are so broad. Some do come down to appearance and vanity. Vocabulary.com defines it as, "Anybody or anything that's attractive is visually pleasing or draws you in." They add that it also has to deal with attracting others, of course, and that, "for people, being attractive usually means you're beautiful or handsome enough to pull in the attention of others."

That said, in this list, I'm really focusing on ways to be an all-around attractive person. This is largely not a list about how to be physically prettier or more handsome. Sure, some of these tips are physical. But, for the most part, these are ways to be instantly attractive in the dating game and a more appealing person overall.

This one might seem odd. If you're trying to attract someone, why would you try to focus on them? But, it works. People like to feeling like the person their with is actually interested in them. It helps you actually be an attractive person if it isn't always about you and if you focus on your partner, date or friend.

Sure, you want to look good on your date. But, if you're wearing heels that are too high or pants that look cool but just don't fit, you might be uncomfortable, and that will make the other person uncomfortable. "The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in your body language and your date will be able to tell," says Houseofcoco.net.

Everyone always talks about confidence being attractive, and they're not wrong. Being confident in yourself is a very attractive quality. You don't need to be an egomaniac or anything, though. No bragging fests on a first date. Just, be confident in who you are and in the spectacular, rock star of a person that God created you to be.

This goes along with confidence. Just be you, because nobody else can be you. "As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing you can do on a date is to look and act like your authentic self," notes Southerntide.com.

This is a tricky one. I'm not a big fan of perfume. But, it's good to smell nice on a date. That said, do not - I repeat, to not - overdue it. There's really no bigger turnoff than someone who smells like they just took a dive into a pool of really strong perfume or cologne. Less is more.

Show off those pearly whites! Something as simple as smiling can make you instantly appear attractive, because it implies that you're happy on both the outside and inside. No RBF, please. Smiling is contiguous, too, in the best possible way.

Your mom was right when she told you to sit up straight. "Slouching makes you look unconfident and bored, neither of which are attractive qualities," notes Houseofcoco.net. "Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are back. It will make you look more confident and alert, two qualities that are sure to impress your date."

Dating and socializing is supposed to be fun. Humans were meant to be together in a community, and that's a good thing. So, just have fun on your date. Be playful. Laugh. Flirt. Wink. Okay, maybe don't wink. That's creepy. But, you can send a wink emoji. Simply have fun.
