I agree with Grimes that dating has gone by the way side and hooking up has taken its place. I agree that this is a shame but I think that in all of Grimes' analysis, he fails to see a crucial point. Dating is a skill, a difficult one at that.
Grimes' attempts to find a deeper reason to explain why a hook-up culture has taken over, replacing or hindering dating. It is not just horniness, but a deep desire to be intimate with a partner, Grimes reasons. I agree and severely disagree with this. Yes we desire physical fulfillment, but we also want to be desired. Being desired is exhilarating, but craving to be desired does not mean that the individual is wanting a committed intimacy.
