Don’t stereotype UCLA men

After reading Nicole Forde’s column “Looking for love in all these wrong places? You may not find it” (Viewpoint, Nov. 6), I was offended.

Forde stereotypes men in a form of reverse discrimination that I see becoming more prevalent in today’s society.

She quotes popular archaic stereotypes about men, assuming that because she has had bad luck with some gentlemen that most are terrible.

Take away the population of athletes, musicians, actors, artists and golden boys (which I took to mean well-off, happy, adjusted men), whom she mentions.

You have very little of the campus remaining.

The point of this response is simply to say that Forde may be jaded.

But I would prefer that she not accuse most men on the UCLA campus of being “the worst types of men to date.”

I’ve met many impressive men here already.
