CNN: No hook-ups, sex for some co-eds

College Life

<p>I wonder why CNN seems to think only women feel this way. There are some male students who by choice also aren't into the casual hook-up culture.</p>

<p>"Kathleen Bogle, who wrote "Hooking Up: Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus" in 2008, says she's found there is a strong and growing desire to bring back traditional dating. Bogle points to the uptick in college students participating in online dating.</p>

<p>On Facebook.com, several groups are rooting for the traditional dates. The motto on the group Bring Dating Back reads, "This group is for all those girls who wish that once in a while a guy would take her out on a date before trying to get her into bed. At least invite us to dinner before expecting us to get down and dirty!"</p>

<p>Vanderbilt student Boyle says her decision she made at the end of her freshman year to quit hooking up came with criticism. She is still surrounded by friends and peers who do it."</p>

<p>I don’t get why you’d be criticized for wanting to get to know your sexual partners a little bit :/</p>

<p>Not to mention the fact that no contraceptive is 100% effective… I guess I’m paranoid, but I’d rather not risk getting some random chick pregnant when I’m 18 years old.</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with hooking up.</p>

<p>However sometimes half the fun is the chase, and half of the attraction is personality.</p>

<p>More of personal preference. I do either or depending on my moods/on the person.</p>

<p>I just can’t take this article seriously, because a) the girl they interviewed is a pretty strong right-wing conservative (she writes editorials in the paper), and she’s strongly against a lot of things of this nature, and b) for sentences like:

</p>

<p>What does our grass have to do with sex?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This reads more like they want a free meal before getting some than actually developing a connection with your partner.</p>

<p>Breaking news; some people prefer casual sex and some people don’t. </p>

<p>There should be another CNN article. Some people drink alcohol and some people don’t.</p>

</p>

<p>Obviously concerns about any of these issues are entirely alleviated by not hooking up at all (read: having sex).</p>

<p>

…? Why?</p>

<p>Buy a meal = bed already? Gotta try this one. LOL</p>

<p>Contrary to what you would think watching TV, college is not a 4 year series of hookups; if you want to have a more traditional dating experience, there are people who will give you that. You can’t reasonably complain because some other people don’t want to do that.</p>

For real! …</p>

<p>Thank you. That’s me.</p>

<p>CNN is a lame broadcast IMO.
Seriously, they always put up wrong information about other countries, other people and other issues.</p>

<p>Basically everything.
Like Fox, which is an extreme-left-wing political-speaker broadcast, CNN is also very very very bad for everything.</p>

</p>

<p>the problem with this statement is that girls want to get down and dirty just as much as guys do. Now that it’s no longer taboo for a chick to embrace her sexuality this has become obvious. You can’t have both chivalry and equality.</p>

<p>“Like Fox, which is an extreme-left-wing political-speaker broadcast”</p>

<p>…do you mean right-wing? I’m assuming you do, and you just got mixd up…if not, you’re officially the first person ever to think that Fox News is a liberal broadcast.</p>

<p>The problem with this statement is that the girls who want to get down and dirty are not the same girls who want you to take them out to dinner first. Your post is roughly equivalent to “Sports prove that guys like to work out all the time, so if you don’t personally work out a lot guys are hypocrites”.</p>
