It put me in an uncomfortable position, indeed.

Did you suggest a breast augmentation to cure that problem?

I read a BYU Studies article that put that same percentage at 63% in 2002. That's a small drop. Not sure it suggests the the median female will have a significantly different data experience but it may suggest a slight narrowing in the distribution.

Any idea of what it is for the U of U and nationally.

I would be interested in what it is at Bob Jones University too if you have that.

Tell her you can understand why he might do that and have lots of well-endowed ladies posted on the walls when she enters the room.

Sounds like we are getting close to the time where polygamy will be necessary.

Terrible that we have 22 year old girls, graduated from college, and still unmarried.

Holy crap. Of course BYU men graduate at an older age and that has something to do with the big difference.

However, with that big a difference you have church leaders complaining young men aren't getting married soon enough??

Since the HC is all about controlling the students. Why not make it a part of the honor code that young men will date once a week.

To have the Bishop haul you in and beat you up about not dating is pretty incredible.

I'm sure non-Mormons would find this perfectly normal. and not "peculiar".

I've had quite a bit of experience in the young adult program, and I'd say this isn't just a trend at BYU, though it's there as much as anywhere.

Yes, I agree, I think her experience is representative.
