[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if dating culture is different at different colleges. Liberal arts vs. large state school? Ivy vs non Ivy? I know some are known for hook up culture more than others. Any thoughts? My kid tells me that nobody dates at their college. Everyone is too career focused.[/quote]

What is it with this generation of parents who are obsessed with their kid's dating life? Leave them alone and they'll figure it out. If your kid would rather focus on dating and not finding anyone there, tell her to go to a dating app. Lots of options these days. Good Lord.[/quote]

I wouldn't call myself obsessed but more "aware" of things because my kid hasn't dated and would very much like to so she talks about it. Her friends are similar and I'm friends with their moms so it's come up in conversation. We don't talk about it all the time or anything but it's foreign to all of us (the moms) as we dated throughout high school and college, never thought twice about dating, never talked to our parents about it, etc.  This is new territory.

I really think we let our kids figure it out. Our parents let us be and we turned out fine. Our generation has this need to always help sometimes to the detriment of our kids. [/quote]
