So this article states that women want to enroll in classes where they might meet marriage-able men.
These women choose such classes as basketweaving for poets, New Age philosophy, pop psychology, etc. etc.
The author reports that men enroll in courses on business, finance, money management, and real estate investing.
Did I miss a clue card here?
Why don't these liberated, enlightened, spritually advanced, dateless females enroll in the freakin' BUSINESS classes?
Maybe there's a remedial course they could take called "Connecting the Dots!"

I'm taking night school classes to finish my bachelors degree. My summer course this year is 'Computer Protocols and Internet Architecture'. There are 17 men and 1 woman enrolled.
I've been taking classes in this program for four years now and only a few classes have been as much as 50/50 for a male to female ratio. This is an Arts program, so that includes history, medicine, writing, religion, programming, geology and foriegn language courses.
As for men not being interested in a course on Psychics, isn't exposing the tricks of psychics the basis of Penn & Tellers act? You can't tell me they don't have male fans. Change the name of the course to show a bit of skepticism, and maybe he'd see more guys.
I get the impression the author is talking about hobby-level courses, rather than degree or accredidation courses. A preponderance of women in such programs points more to who has the extra free time and who has more pressure to work than to a lack of intellectualism or curiosity in men.
