College students prefer casual sex to long term relationships: No sh@T!
In this brilliant article by Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal she details the lives of several students that have focused on their careers instead of searching for a life long partner. This of course results in the fast and wild world of the "Hook-Up" culture!
I think it is a little naive to say that hook-up culture exists because students are focusing on their careers. Maybe she's just painting a rosy picture because she tells us that her own daughter is in college. I think it is far more likely that young people who have no idea what they want to do with their life and are scared to death of a real relationship are just screwing their brains out until the real world comes crashing in on their bacchanalian paradise.
I actually met my fiancé in college, but we didn't date until 5 years later and I know for sure that if we had dated in college the situation would have ended badly. She nor I were any where near the people we needed to be in order to get married.
So I say meet great people in college, build long term friends and if the "hook-up" culture is working for you, by all means have at it. You may never have a chance again!
Oh yeah and focus on your career. ... more -
