I actually never got the hype with college girls and the obsession that red pill circles have with them. When I graduated college, I saw way more sexy women in a big city than I ever did in my college days. Sure, my alma mater is no Arizona St or Florida St but it isn't exactly MIT either in terms of women. In every 200 person lecture, I might see 5 to 6 good looking women. Whenever I stepped out of my apartment in Manhattan, I ran into more good looking women than I would an entire semester in college.
Sure I will give you that these women have less baggage and are more cheerful for life, in that case you have a point. However, speaking strictly on appearance, your average big city destroys a college town when it comes to having good looking women.
Blackpill YouTube content creator states that female attractiveness is based upon the principles of being:
1. Hot
2. Young
3. Undamaged
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
College campus women, even at "Hot Girl U" schools like Arizona State and Florida State, are not on average much hotter than women 22-29 in bigger US cities (let's say the Top 20 most populated US metro areas). They won't necessarily win on hotness and women's looks aren't usually in decline until 30. Even in their 30s, a woman who cares for herself can look good, but even an elite 35 year old can't compete with an elite 21 year old college senior.
That's because college girls win on the "Young" variable. Also, there's not a better collection of young women in the same place. The median age of females even at a top tier bar on a Saturday night will be higher than the median age of an undergraduate. The median age at Central Park at any given time is also higher.
College women generally have less damage to them than big city women who are 25-34. It doesn't take much to accumulate damage though. There are even college freshmen who come into the dorm damaged by having taken multiple penises in high school. The typical notch count of a college sophomore or junior is lower than the typical notch count of a 25-34 year old in a big city. College women have the advantage there.
Most college girls/younger girls just rely on their age for their attraction. They eat like shvt, lack a developed personality, have young person bad habits, and etc. By the time they are 25, they look like dog shvt. Hot city girls have developed at least a nutrition/fitness routine, so you don't have to worry about them ballooning. I used to be brainwashed in to thinking the Alpha Phi girls were the hottest women ever, but after I lived in a city I won't even go near a girl like that lol.
I have seen women follow this path. For instance, one of my friends moved to Dallas with a 23 year old girlfriend. She was only one year out of college. When he moved in with his girlfriend, she was 27. There was a pool party a few weeks after they moved into together. I remember thinking at this pool party that her body was not as good looking as it was when she was 23. The years between 23 and 27 damaged her looks. This is because she hadn't developed a good fitness/nutrition routine as a post college woman. Even after that point, my friend later put a ring on her and then eventually got her pregnant. In her mid-30s, her looks have declined from when she was 27, let alone 23 or 20.
Big city women who have a good fitness and nutrition routine can at least stay competitive with college women until their early 30s and even be attractive into their 30s but won't be on the level of elite young women around 35-40.
The one thing that doesn't get mentioned though is outside of looks, just how nasty the personalities of these college girls are. I seriously do not get the hype from the Manosphere talking about how they have no baggage. Sure, that might be true, but you are dealing with a Grade A Narcissist who is obsessed with social status and has an inflated ego due to living in her run of the mill college town. If anything, I saw a lot of former sorority girls become real down to earth once NYC humbled them on their appearance. The same sorority girl who was an egomaniac in a small college town now turned a lot more feminine once the competition stepped itself up.
When I was on campus, I saw some pretentious and stuck up behaviors from the elite looking women on campus. Many Grade A narcissists. However, in the big cities where I've lived post college, I've seen college graduate women with the same nasty attitudes. I didn't see the humbling of attitudes in the big cities where I've lived.
I think that is a part of it but the other part of it is that most of these dudes were losers in their high school and college days so now they want to go back and get the same girls they couldn't get in their youth.
I will never for the life of me get the hype behind college girls but then again, I was in a fraternity just like you and saw their true colors. Some outcast who went to a small liberal arts school and never took part in that life will pedestalize them.
There's a lot of truth in this. Even men who went to "Hot Girl U" schools and didn't get as much action as they wanted still want to make up for that as adults. Also, as mentioned in the Page 1 posts of this thread, most men at party schools/"Hot Girl U" schools aren't getting that much action. Few can put up the notches they desire. Some men can get decent sex frequency when in college if they get and retain a girlfriend for an extended period, but that means that they don't get sexual variety.
We had older guys that tried to get with college girls in town and most of them were often weird. Needless to say, they had no luck when quality was involved.
That's not worth going out of your way to do but if a man can somehow naturally meet college aged women despite being 30-35, it is worth pursuing.
