The "New Paltz Not" phenomenon is when an attractive dudes will significantly lower their
dating standards to accommodate to the
female selection at SUNY New Paltz. This issue takes place the women who attend New Paltz think they have "all that" and that they believe that they are "a catch" and that men aint shit when in
reality the women of this area have essentially nothing to offer. Most would think that a 7:3 female to male ratio
may seem appealing at first, but let's
dig a little deeper into the real percentages. Looks can be deceiving in more ways than one. Of those 70% women, half of them are either gay,
bi, or confused. You're left with a cumulative 35%. Then factoring in those in relationships and others who cannot hold a 5 minute conversation, were looking at something closer to 10-15%. You soon begin to question whether girls you would never have found attractive prior to the New Paltz experience are actually attractive. This disillusionment will continue to grow with each progressive year you attend school. Soon, you find yourself
dating a coked-out, wanna-be
vegan with no sense of direction. Your only defense is to go back
home, or to other colleges, as often as possible.
