That's probs why all the women drop out, as the RFM = heavy cuts early by the groups that have to make the most cuts.

I find that those groups that PNMs find most desirable (and are so "omg I HAVE to get invited back there or I'm quitting" about) have to cut the MOST women out of all the chapters.

PNMs get dropped by those "heavy cut maker" groups and refuse to consider other groups. Hence, the large number of dropouts.

I don't think it would hurt for PNMs to get just a LITTLE education on how RFM works just so that they don't unrealistically expect Top Group Who Makes Big Cuts to invite them back, or are at least braced for the cuts.

Then again, it probs wouldn't help because even if you TOLD a PNM about that, they would likely assume that they were going to be in that percentage of PNMs that Top Group DOESN'T cut and ignore you (like "yeah ok, XYZ probably has to cut heavy because they're the biggest but I'm awesome enough for an invite so this doesn't apply to me")

I find that many PNMs, even if they KNEW that certain groups cut heavy, would assume that they were going to be the exception to the heavy cuts because they were more awesome than everyone else. They overestimate their own awesomeness, if that makes sense.

Wow, that was a ramble and super off topic.
