~3:2
consider a typical RPI ratio:there are 18 guys and 6 girls that attend RPI in a room. of the 18 males, only around 6 will actually be good looking and personable enough interact with a mate succesfully. of the women, normally only half of them would be attractive and personable enough, but because of the laws of supply and demand as well as sociological theory, the low numbers and demand for dates with women have caused some of them, not previously dateable, to become dateable and thus 4 or 5 of them will be possible to date.
