i love "journalism" where you get to just make blanket statements like "It is by now pretty well understood that traditional dating in college has mostly gone the way of the landline" with absolutely no evidence besides some anecdote about a randy ivy league coed

I'm sure it doesn't apply to Bob Jones University, but i am less certain about Brigham Young.
Not every women is emotionally built for just hooking up with guys. Alot of those women are fronting.
And when I say fronting I don't mean as in their lying about having casual sex. I mean alot are lying about that being what they truly want and being happy. Many just go along with it because in 13', that's what "your supposed to do"
I have noticed a pattern with women I know who have at some point in their lives regularly hooked up with guys they were not in relationships with. They typically have done it because they felt it might encourage a relationship to grow out of it. I have seen it as a pattern in women who have low confidence, low self esteem, and have not felt they could attract a quality guy on the merits of their personalities and interests alone.
Of course, I am not saying this is always the case either, or even a majority. Just that I find it hard to trust such blanket generalizations.
"Ask her why she hasn’t had a relationship at Penn, and she won’t complain about the death of courtship or men who won’t commit. Instead, she’ll talk about “cost-benefit” analyses and the “low risk and low investment costs” of hooking up."
I'm going to go cry with John Boehner and Glenn Beck.
"Their relationship, she noted, is not about the meeting of two souls."
Then why doesn't she just masturbate or use a fake penis.
I read the whole article. Does the author live in fantasy land at Disney World. College students having getting drunk and having sex. Its been a long time ago, but I vaguely remember the same thing in my youth. Some girls at college primarily to get their MRS degree. Some there to get professional training, but not really interested in a boyfriend. What is new here? I don't get it.

Coming from a college student, this article sounds like a dumb writer's attempt to sensationalize something that isn't all that interesting. Some people are into hooking up, and others aren't.
To try to run a blanket statement for all college students is ridiculous. Most people I know aren't going through a mental battle trying their hardest to take all emotion out of sex and they aren't going out having sex every night.
Reading things like this article really just gets under my skin.
