Yes but there are major differences:
- In college you're not interacting only through the Internet
- Even though you might be popular, you're not going to have that many guys asking you out.
- But the main thing is at work, or when practicing your hobby, you're not expecting to be bugged very often by people probing for a relationship...
- carterschonwald 18y ago"But the main thing is at work, or when practicing your hobby, you're not expecting to be bugged very often by people probing for a relationship..." Thats silly, for many folks (for good or for ill), it is through work or their hobbies that they meet new people.
- TheBigRedDog 18y agoNot quite. You're socializing (including taking on new hobbies) to meet new people, yes. But you're not passioned by your hobby (say History or computers) because you want to socialize ... And if you're into say long distance running that's not to have all the guys -who otherwise might have run faster- start slowing down just to look at your butt ...
- yummyfajitas 18y agoAt both places I worked that had women (admittedly, both colleges), women were asked out. I'm told it's not uncommon at regular jobs either. What fraction of nurses (an 80-90% women profession) are asked out, do you think? As far as I know, women are asked out at many hobby activities as well. I know people who have gotten dates at critical mass, rowing, the gym and some sort of "Free Palestine" club. I'm told that even church is not an unreasonable place. This "men asking out women" problem seems quite pervasive.
