involved in casual sex had higher levels of depression and anxiety and lower levels of self-esteem, happiness and life satisfaction compared to the students who did not engage in a casual hook up in the past thirty days. There was then a study about 400 young adults that felt lonely and depressed and adults who had less feeling of loneliness and depression who were involved in sexual intercourse. They then researched what emotional affects being involved in sexual intercourse hookups had on them. They then came up with results that showed that penetrative sex hook ups made people with greater feelings of depression and loneliness have a decrease in those symptoms and feelings. Where as people who expressed less symptoms of loneliness and depression had an increase in those feelings after a penetrative sex hook up. Not only does it make people feel depressed but it makes them feel uncomfortable. For example, a study by Reiber and Garcia in 2010 show that a lot of people that engage in sexual hook ups feel uncomfortable. They also came to a conclusion that 78% of people in a hook up overestimate how comfortable their partner is doing certain things during their sexual engagement. Random hook ups also have shown to cause feelings of pressure and performance anxiety in a study by Paul et al.'s.

Personality, character, wit, sociability, etc count for little to nothing in reality. We all prejudge the book by its cover. It's practical, functional, effective and efficient. Why waste time and effort appraising a potential partner if they don't pass the eff-ability test? In essence, the only question people ask of themselves when assessing a potential sexual partner is whether they could enjoying eff-ing someone who looks as this person does. Or to paraphrase in the quaint language of yesteryear .. "will I be able to respect myself in the morning?" All the other considerations can, and do, wait until later. And why not? Why persevere if you don't enjoy a partner sexually? A rapid assessment is required. For the beautiful all doors open, for the ugly few do. And let's be frank, most human beings are NOT especially attractive. Puberty is cruel to most people. Softer physical features sharpen. Most are more attractive pre-adolescence, decidedly less so post-adolescence. We are mostly cygnets becoming ugly ducks; only rarely does an ugly duckling become a swan. None of us is likely to be more attractive tomorrow than today. Ipso facto, there is no time to waste.

being wanted by a cute guy is what they want and hook ups are how girls think they can get that attention. However, many boys and girls did report that they do hook up with random people in order to find someone they could possibly start something serious with. That being said not all young adults are hooking up with each other to fit the college norm, and gain sexual pleasure, but because they truly want to find someone they have a serious connection with. There was a study by
University of Louisville researchers Owen and Fincham, who asked 500 undergraduate students that have been involved in hook up culture how they felt about commitment, and about 45% of men and 65% of women said they wanted their hook ups to possibly end up in a serious relationship.

There have also been a number of studies that have studied the mental aspects of casual hookups. In a study down by psychologist Seth
Schwartz has shown results that say that people who had many random hook ups had more psychological issues. For instance, students in college that had stated they were

There are many ideas as to why people think young adults are involved in this hook up culture,such as that they feel like they have to do it to fit in. Some girls also reported that the main reason they are involved with random hook ups is because they think that is what boys want. The feeling of

Like all human behaviour it's strongly correlated with physical attractiveness; the more attractive are offered more, the less-attractive less. Whether employment-related opportunities, educational opportunities, or sexual or relationship opportunities, attractiveness is the key determinant.
