Ethan's Top Five Reasons Why Cupid Still Has a Pulse on College Campuses:
1. Although recent surveys of college women have concluded that the dating climate has turned bleak, evidence suggests that the shift has been one of style more than substance. A whopping 88 percent reported being happy with the social scenes at their colleges. And nearly all women--96 percent--felt they had a clear sense of what they should and should not do in romantic interactions.
2. Although the term "hooking up," (i.e. a commitment-free sexual encounter) has become popular on campuses, few women report doing it on a regular basis. Sixty percent of those surveyed reported that they themselves had never hooked up. And while that left a substantial 40 percent who had, only 10 percent said they had done it more than six times. When it comes to the ubiquity of hooking up, there is a lot more talk than tango.
3. Boyfriend/girlfriend bonds are still common in college life. Almost half of the women surveyed reported having a boyfriend, and 24 percent of those said they had never had sex.
4. Marriage is in the minds of college women. Over half of all women surveyed reported that they would like to meet their future husbands in college. Nearly all said that being married someday was a "very important" goal.
5. Despite the "Coeds Gone Wild" videos, college women have not adopted as their rallying cry, "like, carpe diem!" When surveyed, nearly all understood that "the things I do in my relationship today will affect my future marriage."
