It makes me a little self-conscious to admit that yeah, I probably fell into that demographic and...well, probably still do.

Very few people I knew in college had boyfriends or girlfriends. I never had a boyfriend my entire time in high school or college. I still have a very hard time finding people to date. For me, hook-ups were/are better than nothing. I think both articles do have grains of truth to them. I haven't read the book, so it's tough to slam the first article too much. I think I'd just end up getting depressed or angry by reading the book though, by feeling that it was somehow judging me.
