nothing new...(Shaking head.)
I can tell... she's a catch.
And this:
Keenly attuned to what might give them a competitive edge, especially in a time of unsure job prospects and a shaky economy, many of them approach college as a race to acquire credentials: top grades, leadership positions in student organizations, sought-after internships.
Aside from the sexual aspects of "hooking up", this is a culture of naked ambition and greed. It's narcissistic. To be so driven toward material success and personal power. This is a rot that runs very deep.
As the Founders noted, our system of government works, if society is composed of moral people. We've created a culture of "what's in it for me?"
No system of government can save us now. This has to collapse and burn out the rot.
Shows how nihilistic young people are these days - not surprising given the high divorce rate and huge number of out-of-wedlock births, meaning no father in the family.
My daughter (age 22) tells me WE, her parents are the ONLY intact family among all of her friends, the rest are either children of divorced parents or were raised by single mothers.
Sex in college? Say it ain’t so!
I think it is true that when I was a college-age guy, I’m not going to lie and say that I wouldn’t have wanted to meet a girl like that.
That said, what I find extremely sad about this is the overt repudiation of affection and romance. It would be one thing I think, to have a fling that is meaningless, but it completely different thing to come out and say “I think that meaningful relationships are childish, stupid and boring. I am going to eschew that intentionally, and focus on doing one night stands.”
I’ve always found it extremely sad to hear men say that (though I admit that it has been occasionally humorous as well) and there is something nearly obscene and unseemly seeing this type of thing advocated by a woman.
Many women do have a positive influence on men… We don’t always recognize it or appreciate it, but the truth of the matter is… They do. I find it depressing to think there are women who want to be like men in many ways… The bad ways.
nothing new...I saw a bit of this sort of thing when I was in college back in the mid-1990s. Not to the degree that it’s probably taking place now, but I did see it. It was not unheard of for a first date to end with a Lewinsky, and I knew or knew of several coeds who were as big a pickup artists as any guy. I will never forget one gal in particular who admitted that she “wasn’t sure” how many partners she had had, but that it was “at least forty.”
University of Pennsylvania, Laz. Write it down: University of Pennsylvania.
Another Fluke?
Aren’t they supposed to be there to study? No wonder degrees are meaningless.
and young people have been duped into believing this is the smart and cool way to do things with the opposite sex.
yowwww.
how can it go wrong? /s
“gee i have sex with a person i can’t stand if we’re sober”
fricking darwin award winners right there. they deserve the std’s they will ultimately wind up getting. good grief.
You need to thank pop culture for such upbringing.
Sex is supposed to be about the bonding of souls as well as bodies. This loveless, casual “hookup” behavior is very damaging in the spiritual sense (to say nothing of the physical consequences).
So the woman is thinking, “I am rebellious and doing this until a better guys comes around. Some day I will stop doing this and find a new man. And not tell him that I did this. Or tell him and he BETTER be ok with it because I am liberated and women are allowed to be big sluts just like men. This sucks but everyone does it and men do it so I can do it, too. It’s only fair.”
The man is thinking, “Sex.”
The ultimate outcome for each of them is likely to be a lot better for the man.
sluts
we need to bring back shame
Lol....ALL women have a “secret life”. Most men are really clueless about females & their private behavior. Women are careful about how they express themselves concerning their sexual history. In general they do an excellent job in keeping that aspect of their behavior to themselves. They do it much better than men.
Sad thing is I’m spending as much time educating my kids on disfunctional personalities and how to avoid them as how to be part of an actual relationship. Sometimes it feels like I’m training them to drive horse buggies.
This is why I seriously doubt I’ll be able to marry a Western woman.
And this is the reason for the contraception insurance laws.
These kind of people can not have a meaningful relationship because they are empty, after a few dates any one can see that they nave a big vacant spot in the head.
No one would want a real relationship with them and they do not want a relationship with some one like themselves.
