[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could parents or students at universities with 60/40 ratios comment on the dating scene? DD is straight (and white if that matters, but would be open to other races and ethnicities). Not looking for her to get an Mrs but I think she would like to be asked out on dates and have a boyfriend in college.[/quote]

I went to a SLAC like this.

Honestly, if she 1) isn't fat, or 2) is willing to ask guys out, she'll do just fine at hooking up with guys.[/quote]

There's a huge difference between hooking up vs being asked out and eventually being a girlfriend. Hooking up with randoms will almost always not lead to becoming a girlfriend (or boyfriend).[/quote]

That was in the past. Hooking up is like a first date now.

No it is not. I have a son who is at a large university. Good looking kid. I'm telling you, he and his friends refuse to ask girls out on a date who just hook up with them. They do want girlfriends, but the girls they hook up with are literally just there for that and not girlfriend material to them. [/quote]

So, is your son in the camp of complaining about not having a girlfriend?  Using the phrase "they do want girlfriends" implies he is having trouble finding a girlfriend.

Also, if your kid attends a large university, how do you know that a girl that refuses to just hook up with him (but goes on a date) on any given night, may in fact be more than happy to hook up with some other kid that night?  Maybe there is some small %age of girls who I suppose are known to hook up a ton...but doesn't the school have thousands of girls? [/quote]
