CMV: College isn’t the matchmaker people fantasize it as, it’s not better than dating apps
Title, the song “Oh Lonesome Me” by Don Gibson make me think of this. You can do all the “right” things to do well academically in college, but at the end of the day you’re still competing with X number of people for relationships. So instead of swiping digitally, you’re just seeing it unfold in person. And it’s the same results: The athletes, above average, and obnoxious dudes (I think the term some use is “funny”). These are the top picks while all the average to below average are left with no options because everyone goes for them.
