How is college any different from school, as far as being able to get a girl...

I always hear that college is the best place and best time in your life to pick up girls.

 

I never hear this about school though. Why?

 

When I was at school, no girls were interested in me. Would college be any different? And if so, why?

College is different because most of the students there have more freedom. No more mommy and daddy waiting for them when they get home, and no more curfew that they need to follow. Plus, with all the drinking and partying, there are more opportunities to be a social butterfly and find someone to go out with. Also, in classes, you're more independent, and you typically have to rely on yourself and your classmates to help you out.

Quoted for truth.

 

Just a year ago, I only socialized with my "group," people who I've known since middle school. Of course, there are people outside the "group," but they were no-no's for dating...just because.

 

Now, if I wanted to, I could just walk up to anyone and strike up a conversation. No one would be peering over my shoulder, ready to gossip. I can stay out late, I can sleep in, I can do whatever I want.

It can be. If you go to a commuter school like mine it's not so easy. Social life is totally different than "normal" colleges.

It depends on other factors as well. I just graduated college, spent 6 years there, only dated 3 women.

 

This could just be my collage, but the general thing was most girls were not interested in you unless you lived in the dorms. If you didn't live in the dorms, then they didn't care you existed because it was convient for them you were there.

 

Also, a lot of the dorms have weekly or monthly events, girls would notice you, you can talk to them and build a rapport, then they date you or become FWBs.

 

Also, its a great way to make friends, of both genders.

 

Sadly, for me, I couldn't afford the dorms, and there were virtually no places to live that were affordable even with roommates, so I was forced to live with my parents.

If not in a commuter school, college can open up a lot of dating opportunities based on the sheer volume of people of a similar age congregating to take classes and do extracurricular activities (among other things). But things don't just fall into your lap. My mother expects me to have a boyfriend by now, seeing as it's my third year in college, but I've only been on maybe 3 dates, if that. You have to seize the opportunity (which admittedly I haven't, too focused on studying).

I don't know. I got laid a ton in college. You just go out and meet people. Girls in college are looking for sex, too. Now you have an easy place to do it. This isn't complicated.

 

Also, a lot of high school students don't feel ready for sex (and they aren't). In college, most people feel like they're ready to try new things, which often includes drinking, sex, and other crazy ****.

 

If you aren't getting laid at least occasionally in college, you're doing it wrong.

College involves form rooms and easier access to booze. That's why it's easier than when in high school.

[Disillusioned]

It's a kind of hive mentality.

 

Just spout all the right stuff about GPAs, credits, exams, blah blah blah, and forget any street smarts you may have, and you'll do fine.
