<p>As far as college goes, I’m not kidding myself that drinking and hooking up aren’t going to happen eventually. And I think that if you’re always self-conscious about hooking up or partying, it kind of takes the fun away from it.</p>
<p>And there’s a huge difference between being comfortable with opposite sex and being a…well, as downindreams aptly put it, a skank.</p>
<p>LOL okay I’m bumping this thread due to its sheer awesomeness. Enjoy, Dartmouth Board newcomers :-D</p>
<p>Seriously, I was talking to kb earlier about how excellent the D board used to be, with its supportive web of all different types of people all glad for each other and always ready to help/comfort/joke around/talk about completely random things to get our minds off the admissions process. I’d love for that to happen again with a new group of people - so forget the stupid ‘CHANCES!?!??!’ forums, let’s get down to business!</p>
<p>People have sex all the time in college. If you want a hot college girl in bed with you, you’ve got to be an above average looking guy and vice versa. But if you just want to be friends with a very hot girl, you don’t have be on her exact level. Friendship in college isn’t like high school - people mingle with all sorts mingle. Nerds hang out with hot girls and you have studs hanging out with geeky girls. Unlike high school; people don’t base you on first sight using the basis of looks. In college, people respect each other greatly. New freshman who come in right out of high school are an exception because they are still learning. Things like intelligence and maturity are appreciated a lot more in college. That’s a simple fact. </p>
<p>Looks still do matter of course. I work out often and tone my body and this greatly increases my chances of getting together with beautiful and attractive women. You have to take care of your body. You have to watch your diet, stay in shape, exercise, etc… In college in general, the self-esteem factor becomes significantly higher.</p>
<p>Would a person who is rather sexually conservative have a bad time at Dartmouth? I am a male, and I am quite traditional in those areas. I am thinking about Dartmouth. In general, are the girls at Dartmouth promiscuous?</p>
<p>preppy: 1) don’t resurrect a 8.5 year old thread. Make a new post instead</p>
<p>2) your 2nd question hints at a perhaps lack of nuance at understanding large social circles? If you attended a public school, would you say “the girls are/are not promiscuous”?</p>
<p>Difficult to answer, probably, right?</p>
<p>Why would you then take some random stranger’s opinion about the general sexual trends of a large population such as the straight women at a college? Frankly, what do you mean by promiscuous? Multiple partners? Sexual not active at all? Sexual encounters occasionally? Do you believe “promiscuous” girls will lure you into behavior like they were sirens? Because they have nothing better to do than to chase down chaste men?</p>
<p>I’m curious to your curiosity b/c you’re only a HS freshman. Why the concern with the girls at Dartmouth? </p>
<p>In the end, the population at Dartmouth will likely be similar to the population at any non-parochial college. Among them will be the spectrum of sexual behavior – same with the guys. Relax.</p>
