Ivy-League (elite college) hook-up culture.

Man, they have the worst dating manners! It is all hooking up, texting to say, hey want to meet me Nd my friends at a bar tonight? Etc. no thanks. How about asking me out to dinner a few times and then maybe ill go home with you? Glad that guys my age and older tend to have better, cleaner manners. The hook up culture is emotionally confusing for women. I think it is terrible. Women hook up with men, then are waiting around to see if he likes them enough to date them. It is far better to get to know a guy through dating and make him show he likes you better getting physically involved.

What are you talking about? I was born in 72 and hooking up was big when I was in college.

Also, as someone who was part of a group that did quite a bit of "hooking up", I don't think women were purposely doing it as a way of avoiding relationships. Most women were still very interested in having relationships, they would just get drunk and use bad judgement. Hook up culture is really just a synonym for party culture.

That is true. Hookup Culture=Party Culture. If college students were not drunk every weekend, they would not hookup. Women have started drinking as much as men and it is not liberating them.
