NYTimes: Dating at College

This piece explores the imbalance of male and female populations on campus; higher female populations are rumored to cause more strain on dating culture.

I think some of this article is ridiculous, but there is one quote I appreciate.

"“Women do not want to get left out in the cold, so they are competing for men on men’s terms,” she wrote. “This results in more casual hook-up encounters that do not end up leading to more serious romantic relationships. Since college women say they generally want ‘something more’ than just a casual hook-up, women end up losing out.”"

This one is absurd:

"As for a man’s cheating, “that’s a thing that girls let slide, because you have to,” said Emily Kennard, a junior at North Carolina. “If you don’t let it slide, you don’t have a boyfriend.”"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Who are these girls?

Gawker posted about it too.
