With high school days behind you, moving onto college opens a whole new world of possibilities in the dating realm. You may think to yourself, forget these high school boys, and bring on the college men! But when will you actually find someone worthy of bringing home to mom?
College is a time when young adults begin to explore their options, whether it be socially, academically, or sexually. Exploration is a big part of college life. You are exposed to frat parties, house parties and different types of people who will expose you to other pastimes. You become the “social butterfly,” going out to parties every weekend, meeting new people, and having a few ho
okups here and there. Of course, most hookups often don’t lead to serious relationships. You may be the kind of girl who is only looking for a good time, but what about the girls who just want to find the one?
As a college freshman, you may become overwhelmed with the amount of eye candy roaming around campus. There’s the bad boy: aviators, leather jacket, tall, mysterious and most certainly handsome. There’s the frat boy: often wearing a hoodie or a t-shirt with his frat letters proudly displayed, outgoing, and confident. There’s the artsy or musical boy: plaid shirts, fitted jeans, converse, and reserved personalities. And then there’s everybody else: the tall lean boys, the short handsome boys, the nerdy boys and the well-dressed boys.
Girls tend to look at the physical aspect of a man: is their hair nice and trimmed, do they have excess facial hair, how do they dress? Studies have shown that women are naturally attracted to men with facial hair because it shows off their masculinity, their strength and their dominance. Typically, on a college campus, younger women tend to become more attracted to upper classmen. They have settled on their major, thus they know what they want to do in the future; they are more serious about their academic life, yet they know how to balance their social life. Plus they act more mature than the younger classmen.
“I tend to look at the man with a well-groomed face hair rather than the man with no facial hair because it shows maturity and experience,” says Elizabeth Morales, 19.
So do you think it’s possible to find true love during your freshman year?
“No,” Morales says. “Most likely, boys during their freshman year are not looking for a serious relationship. They just want to have fun.”
Tiffany Huynh, 20, however, disagrees.
“You’re meeting new people, going out to parties and having fun. Chances are that you may stumble upon an upper classman who is looking for something more than just a hookup.”
So which is it, yes or no? The answer lies within the girl herself. Are you the type of girl who wants to settle with a man during your first year of college? Or do you want to explore the different types of
men college has to offer? We differ in tastes and personalities, thus no two girls are really alike. If you’re the type of girl who truly wants to find someone special during your freshman year, what type of guy would you be into?
Remember girls, college is about having fun and finding yourself, but it is also about experiencing new things, including love. It’s just a matter of time before you find your true love. The question is, will it be during your freshman year? Find out!
