Note to the amorous undergraduate female reading this

A new term begins. 

As always, female students will outnumber male students in classes, reminding me of a quiet revolution.  Or, simply, whatever!

Anyway, while thinking about classes and syllabi and assignments, there I was reading a blog post (ht) on where the author ends with this postscript of a Note to the amorous undergraduate female reading this:
When you scan the campus and realize what your choices are, I know it is tempting to open a vein and slide into a warm bath. But here’s the thing: you may be an average undergraduate female, but there are above-average undergraduate males out there who are nearly your equal. They are out there. It’s just that you outnumber them about 100 to 1. Still, that’s no reason to open a vein and slide into a warm bath.
