This one applies a lot to what I was saying on my post, yes there are a subset of female students who do come to college with the intent of finding a husband. And good for them if that's what they want. But to try to apply a stereotype to an individual is just stupid, so whoever said that to you, or your friend, is a moron and I would weight their words accordingly.
