We live in a culture where hookups have yet to see the dating light at the end of this booze-y sleeze-fest tunnel.
Don’t get me wrong. A lot of people probably enjoy this tunnel, as have I once upon a time. But there’s a time and place when we meet the one and we start to see ourselves settling down. Or so we thought.
What you’re missing
So, you want to meet a hot piece of ass to take home with you from a bar without much effort? There’s an app for that. I’m sure you readers are all too familiar with the way Tinder works. Could so much sexiness exist in one place? How have I been so oblivious to all these men/women in my life? These thoughts are common among our generation. The constant exposure of beautiful men and women we see from social media can cause the detrimental FOMA.

FOMA?
Fear of missing ass. Although this has been an ongoing fear of most men in their 20s, we gals are starting to get the itch, too. How could we young people, with our perky tits and firm asses, be so eager to be tied down to one person? Social media allows us to view the personal lives of others and lets us see all the hot and exciting people we’re missing out on. FOMA may cause relationships to crumble and self-esteem to skyrocket or nose-dive.
Resist the temptation
It’s hard to tell what most people’s motives are on Tinder. Are they looking for a one-night stand or seeking out a new bae? [Bae= before anyone else, just in case you’re out of the loop.] But here’s all you need to know. Anyone with a Tinder account is talking to several people, not just you. So don’t feel special or feel like this could be a new relationship blossoming. If you’re in a good relationship now and are starting to feel like you’re young and need to experience several flings before you settle down, just know that it’s a ploy.
The age of dating for millenials
Social media will fuck up your chances of finding the right person. As lame as that sounds, college is the time in your life where you will have the most in common with a lot of people. It’s a great time to date around and figure out what you want. Don’t let FOMA cloud your vision. Sure, there are probably hotter and more exciting people out there than your significant other. However, if you’re in a great relationship and you’re happy, don’t fuck it up because you think you need to spread your legs a couple more times for some new people. More sexual partners won’t make you more worldly or wise. It might make you feel more desirable or more sexually experienced, but at the end of that tunnel there’s not going to be a reward much more pleasing than that.
