My high school had something like a 6 to 1 guy to girl ratio.
Then was an engineering student in college. So, the ratio did not improve.
What kind of high school has a 6 to 1 guy to girl ratio?
You did get a STEM degree, which is useful. Engineering majors don't have access to a lot of women in classes. If you are an Engineering major who wants some vagina while on campus, you're going to have to do random campus day game, find off campus parties, or join a fraternity and hope you can get into one of the decent fraternities. My sense is that a lower tier fraternity isn't worth the effort.
I thought I'd share this as someone who went to a party school and was in a fraternity there as well. Not wanting to give too much about myself but I went to UGA and graduated a few years ago. While Athens has its hot girls, I do feel like the quality got worse every year due to the admission...

Let's put things in perspective here: meet Jane, 28yrs old, had a boyfriend in high-school, got together with another guy in college, they were together in total for 6 yrs, she is now a single mom with a 3yrs old child.
meet Sarah, 28yrs old, she too had a boyfriend in high-school, then 5 more guys she was in STRs/LTRs with. no kids.
So a guy who wants to enter a relationship with Jane is a sucker while the one who gets together with Sarah is to be congratulated? Why is that? Oh, because you'll always be no.2 after the child...yeah, well, do you really think that being the 7th dyck inside Sarah makes you no.1 in her mind? Oh, because the burden of the little child....yeah, what about the burden of dealing with Sarah's shyt? It must be stinking pretty bad that she couldn't hold on to any of those previous 6 guys.
Both options being 28 is on the younger side. Single moms are often 33-45.
Sarah is the better choice than Jane. Because Sarah is childless, it's going to be easier to schedule dates with her. Sarah may lack true bonding ability, which would not bode well for a marriage, but she would have the potential to be a decent medium term girlfriend for somewhere between 2-5 years in most cases.
A 28 year old with a notch count of 7 is not bad. Over the years, I have been on plenty of dates with 25-35 year olds who have definitely had notch counts higher than 7. Higher notch count women can make passable girlfriends but aren't worth the marital commitment with the downside risks.
The problem with Jane is that you already have an instant family when you're dating her, which is difficult for a childless man. Forming new relationships is already tough enough without the whole child thing as a part of the relationship equation. It's also unknown whether Jane's ex is a deadbeat or not. Jane might have had the child out of wedlock with a boyfriend or filed for divorce in a marriage. Neither looks good for her. Women who are widows are understandable as they did things the right way in most cases. Finding a female widow is semi-rare under age 45. I still wouldn't date a single mom from a widowing situation but it is the most preferred situation as compared to baby daddy drama.
As a bachelor I have to point also about something not mentioned; body transformation for the worse. I'm in vacation right now and I banged dozen chicks. Two of them had baby (none of them told me initially). But I could see those lifeless tits and some stretch marks in their stomachs. They had the kids when young so you couldn't tell with clothes. It was such a turn off that if it wasn't for Viagra and alcohol, I wouldn't know if I could do it. Call me vain but now that I'm older and I have more options, I would never get into a relationship with a single mom. It doesn't matter how beautiful and pleasant she is.
If you ever have kids with a woman and want to remain in a relationship with that woman, you're probably going to be dealing with lifeless tits and possibly stretch marks from the mother of your child/children.
I agree with you that it is worse to have sex with a mom when you didn't father her children.
Throughout my 30s, I have had sex with childless women. Even though I haven't achieved big age gaps, I have managed to have sex with childless 30 somethings.
