Anyone who’s had the misfortune of interacting with today’s 20-somethings knows the exasperation of dealing with the monosyllabic naval-gazers that pass for American young adults these days. And these aren’t hopeless burnouts in metal shop; they’re often the "best and brightest" from top schools.
But it’s even worse. The WSJ details American adults in top universities that are so socially retarded that they can’t even ask each other out for a date!
And THIS is the future of America? Better start learning Mandarin real fast.
"Mallory Johnson, 22, a senior at The College of William & Mary, saw a cute boy on campus, but she didn't prepare a good opening line and go introduce herself. Instead she logged onto GoodCrush.com, a college dating website and posted a message that said: "I see you on campus at a meeting every week, and I think you're a law student. Maybe I'll get the courage to talk to you someday."
Ahhh, how cute. And this is a SENIOR at William and Mary!
It gets better.
"As luck would have it, the young man that Ms. Johnson had been eyeing, who was indeed a law student, wrote back to her through GoodCrush's anonymous (no names, no photos) messaging system. They exchanged notes for a few days and then decided to take the plunge and meet in person. They have been dating for the past four months."
I’d love to see the depth of that "relationship."
These are adults. We’re fucked.
