Those fretting about the “dating apocalypse” are missing a lot, but it's true that dating in the digital age is full of complications for young consumers. While some truly believe that so-called hookup culture is the problem, there is another theory out there for the modern dating scene’s issues: math. The book DATE-ONOMICS: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game argues that hookup culture is actually a result of unequal numbers in the gender pool. In short, far more women are going to college, and “when gender ratios skew toward women, as they do today among college grads, the dating culture becomes more sexualized.” (Washington Post)
