We found this recent New York Times' article about the "hook up" culture on college campuses today very interesting -- particularly how girls can play at the game too. Kate, a young woman interviewed for this piece, referred to hooking up at "low risk and low investment". These girls contend that they don't have time for relationships ... they are too busy building their resumes and focusing on their careers to be weighed down by a meaningful relationship. As such, they choose to just hook up when convenient. Or is it that they have just come to expect too little from men? Are they perhaps gravely disappointed with the behavior of men and their inability to give them what they need emotionally and as such, they are settling for the occasional sexual encounter? Should these girls be looking for their Mrs. degree given the pool of available men at college or should they just have fun and focus on themselves?
A lot of these issues transcend boundaries of age; many middle age women are asking themselves the same questions. Many now say they are self sufficient, successful and only really need men for sex occasionally. Others say they really want to find a quality guy to build a life with long term.
