Fellas, Why are we not graduating college as well compare to women?

post #1 of 76
Thread Starter 
I'm doing an English paper and responding to an article call "The End of men" and there is a part where she says..

In 2005, King’s group conducted a survey of lower-income adults in college. Men, it turned out, had a harder time committing to school, even when they desperately needed to retool. They tended to start out behind academically, and many felt intimidated by the schoolwork. They reported feeling isolated and were much worse at seeking out fellow students, study groups, or counselors to help them adjust. Mothers going back to school described themselves as good role models for their children. Fathers worried that they were abrogating their responsibilities as breadwinner.
Now I have some question to all of NT.
1. Do you see a gap between the men and women that attend you college? And a gap between those who graduate and don't?
2. Why do you think women are graduating at an higher rate compare to men year to year?
3. Is it possible that men face different problems than women in college? And how big of an impact can those problems effect someone from not graduating?

as stated in the part you already posted boys are already behind women so when they do get to college the load may seem to be to much...

in my own observation i've noticed most guys are more focused on getting money now...legally or illegally...most of the guys i know who left school before graduating it was for money reasons...i dont know many girls who did the same...

that's ok. if it makes you feel better, less women are getting professional degrees because they keep getting knocked up.

I've noticed this as well. Girls will cut back the course load. Dudes will just keep the same course load and fail out or just stop with school all together.

I don't think it's a matter of facing different issues. Maturity and mentality are what do men in.

because financial burdens rest primarily on males. I know dudes that had to drop out to help with the bills at home. You think their sisters did that?

women are more disciplined. a woman can have a FT job, a kid, be in a sorority and make dean list...i know dudes who cant make a 3.0 and all they have to do is go to class.

Dudes too busy buying shoes and trying to impress the girls


LOL if its any consolation I know hella slack dudes that still gon end up wifing these professional chicks due to lack of options lol.... My cousin been with his chick 5 years (had a baby by a side chick and has been caught up 3 diff times in the last month, not to mention he is now a fifth year undergrad student and may not get out until 2013) His chick still won't leave him....

Sad what has happened to our Black women..... (no shade to the white chicks or other minorities either tho we all got our issues)

Exactly.

Blackngoldz, that's a cop out and completely false. I know plenty of women like this scum bag described. Somehow they managed to not drop out, but men needed to? It's a matter of mentality and maturity.

Women don't have hobbies/serious distractions. Only so much gossiping you can do & an education is the means to satisfy that shopping addiction...

I was listening to an Art of Maniliness Podcast and it spoke on why traditional education suits women more than it does men. If anyone is interested on the podcast, I will post a link. If not I won't waste my time looking for it.
