<p>do you prefer random hookups at parties or real relationships, in college?</p>
<p>specify whether you are male or female (perhaps include the name of your school because the environment/social scene at your school may influence your opinion)</p>
<p>Male, VT, I like relationships better. Hookups usually turn things awkward if you have mutual friends and I don’t enjoy them that much anyway, so since freshman year I’ve mostly stuck with actual relationships.</p>
<p>I’m a girl, a sophomore, and am still dating my high school boyfriend. But if I wasn’t, I’m pretty sure I would totally just hook up with everyone and not be in a relationship.</p>
<p>Contradictory, I know, and hard to judge since I’m pretty sure I’ve already found the right person - but if I was still single, I seriously doubt I would be worried about finding that person right now.</p>
<p>Gf at the moment, and she isn’t annoying. Yet.
I enjoy being able to share very personal things, and I certainly enjoy the sex. </p>
<p>STDs scare me less than getting some random hookup pregnant - the statistics are not too reassuring and I don’t exactly trust contraception - especially in combination with alcohol, meds (antibiotics), crazy schedules… Also, sex with random girls makes me feel a bit empty… the emotional part is underrated and for me it’s way more spectacular if there’s trust involved… (though males seem to deal better with that - my roommate once got dumped by a girl who completely lost focus during the act ) </p>
<p>Friends with benefits sound pretty cool, though - never had that, but it would be fun. And I think it would be quite interesting, because you are really open with each other (and don’t need to impress your so.)</p>
<p>Hookups. Female, from a commuter state school. Relationships will probably have too much stupid drama.
Aren’t condoms 99% effective with the 1% error being someone using it carelessly?</p>
<p>Relationships, female. Hook-ups can get really weird, i just couldnt imagine randomly bumping into something and thinking "hey werent you that guy… " lol. (one time was enough for me.)</p>
<p>Also, i feel like friends with benefits can get really messy, one person can be more into the benefits and the other the friends part. i think it takes two very specific people to have it work out with no ones feelings getting hurt.</p>
<p>97% with perfect use. Birth control pills are 99%, along with surgeries (which maybe are 100%, but there’s always one who manages…)</p>
<p>Relationships, female. I’m with kelliebm - dating my high school BF. I agree that hookups seem too awkward, and while maybe it’s fun, I just don’t think I’m willing to give up the emotional side. Honestly, call me weird, but sex just isn’t THAT good to sleep with a new guy every night.</p>
<p>I agree with those who said that friends with benefits really sucks because it’s really easy to get really attached to one person. Feelings get hurt when the relationship means more to one person than the other.</p>
<p>Male. Relationships. If I go into the night thinking I might hook-up and I do, I don’t feel any better afterward. Idk, I only have eyes for my gf.</p>
