So how did we end up with hook up culture?

One change from the 80s when I went to college is the randomness of the hook-ups. According to my son, smartphones and Tinder have allowed weekdays and daytime participation, while my generation it was generally relegated to bars and weekend parties. The couple chooses to meet up based on photos. Son deleted his Tinder account first semester last year.

I seem to remember a past post pointing to a study that found about 1/3 of students are serial monogamous, about 1/3 participate in the hook-up scene, and about 1/3 do not participate.
