Colleges with not-so-dateable alumni - myth or truth?

This may sound a bit bizarre, but I'm a high school junior currently researching colleges and I came across a list that claimed certain colleges produce the 'least dateable alumni'. I'm not really sure what to make of this. Can anyone clarify? Does this really matter in the long run?

The idea of certain colleges producing "less dateable" alumni is highly subjective and not something to seriously consider in your college search process. These types of lists may be created for entertainment value and are based on limited or anecdotal data.

In the long run, the notion of "dateability" really depends on personal factors rather than the college one attends. They hinge on individual qualities, personal circumstances, shared interests, and your own values - not the name of the institution on a degree.

When researching colleges, it's more beneficial to focus on aspects like academic programs, cultural fit, location, financial affordability, student support services, and opportunities for internships or research. These aspects will have a direct impact on your college experience and future career.

Remember, college is about learning, personal growth, and preparing for your future career. While making social connections, including dating, is part of the college experience for many students, it shouldn't be a defining factor in your college choice.
