So the high school freshman who calls himself Bostonian42 is thinking ahead to college. And he’s got questions. Well, actually just one question, which he’s asking people about every college he’s interested in: is this college full of sluts? Because if it is, he wants none of it.
Here he is, inquiring about Dartmouth:
He’s posted similar comments for eight other colleges.
Sounds like he may want to avoid whatever college it is that Amanda here is going to. (See here for more from this inadvertantly hilarious comic book.)
(Thanks to @MaraWritesStuff on Twitter for alerting the world to Boston42’s noble quest.)
(Oh, and I guess I’m back to posting again, though my posts may be a little light for awhile.)

That’s true, I suppose I can’t really complain about my lot, I don’t really hate the people who have sex, it just kind of bothers me when they talk about it because it kind of reminds me of what I could be doing if I weren’t cripplingly socially awkward, being an aspie sucks sometimes.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten into a relationship due to flirting — either someone I’m friends with / me going “so, you wanna hook up sometime?” or “so…are you interested in being more than friends…because that could work for me”.
Or kind of drunk, but that’s kinda its own thing.
So yeah, when you’re interested in someone, make friends, ask if they want to be more than friends, if not, hey, you just made a new friend!
Seriously though, the media/TV/movies make this more complex than it needs to be, because “ask someone you know if they want to get coffee, or go on a date, or something” makes for less interesting plot than “flirting! More flirting! Girl falls for boy! Boy pines for girl! Etc”
In this one regard, PUAs are right, talk to people, lots of people, sooner or later you’ll find one who you like, ask them if they like you back, go on dates and stuff!
I’ve flirted, but it’s always been really nerdy flirting. Like this one time I high-fived a guy I liked and said “That was an elastic collision! Now let’s demonstrate an inelastic collision!” (This is a great way to hold hands with another nerd.) I really don’t think there’s a special set of skills you need to make it clear to someone else that you’d be interested in dating them.
(At the Canadian University of Canada, Pierre is the Dean of admissions)
Pierre: Hello, what can I help you with?
Bostonian: I was thinking of applying here and I had a question about student life.
Pierre: Certainly! We are a medium-sized diverse student body, 60% female, 40% male, with approximately 20 international students. Our students enjoy an almost family-like, safe community. We have almost no crime, although there was one recent incident involving box cutters, but the testimony of the person who reported it is very contradictory and dubious at best. Any more questions?
Bostonian: You said 60% female?
Pierre: Yes, but we are welcoming regardless of sex.
Bostonian: I don’t doubt that, but I wanted to know one thing: How promiscuous are the girls?
Pierre: Excuse me?
Bostonian: How slutty are they? I am sexually conservative and need to know if the girls are that as well.
Pierre: Uh, the sex lives of our students is not really my business…
Bostonian: So that means the majority are?
Pierre: I didn’t say that.
Bostonian: Well, I’m leaving then. Good day.
Pierre: Um, good day? Next!
*Tom Martin enters*
Tom Martin: I have a question about student life.
Pierre (muttering): Sluts?
Tom Martin: No! WHORES! I need to know how many girls are whores!
So anyways, you don’t want to go anywhere NEAR Philadelphia. It is THE most promiscuous city in the United States. We are such deviants, when we call it the “City of Brotherly Love,” we mean it in more ways than one. Just look at what Rick Santorum has to say about us.
Um, kittehs, I don’t think there are any chairs on the space station…
But I do think the University of Reddit Island is relatively slut-free.

quantumscale – but, but, there must be! There must be something to cause pain to the manly man buttocks! Even in weightlessness!
Space is the only escape from misandric chairs. That’s the whole reason we went there, doncha know.
*giggles* I also liked the way you ended it with tom martin 😀
Oh Cthulhu’s Intern, how I love you.
Chthulhu, I’ve added it to the queue. (Damn, I really need to get cracking on that.)
Dammit, I can’t spell cthulhu.
quantumscale – LOL!
Someone really needs to do a new soundtrack for footage of the first Moon landing.

Canadian University of Canada
Mascot: giant beaver
School motto: oh, I’m so very sorry, was my foot in your way when you stepped on it just now? My deepest apologies.
Most illustrious undergraduate program: B.Sc., Maple Studies
The campus famous for its vast wild spaces covered in evergreens that you will never see, as you will never want to step outside into the cold.
Also renowned as the only University to have replaced every vendor in their food court with a Tim Horton’s stall.*
*This last one I’m basing on my own University, which has 3 Timmie’s, 2 of which are directly beside one another in the main cafeteria. They still have longer lines than any of the other choices.
*mops drink from computer screen*
Aaaand bedtime. Good night everyone!
Good night!
Putting multiple places that serve coffee and snacks on a college campus actually sounds like a great idea. My college cafeteria had no coffee. I was not pleased.
Arranged marriage? I’m still not quite sure why fundies don’t just do that, like the FLDS.
Some of them do. A lot of fundamentalist Christian churches are big into “courtship,” which is basically arranged marriage as it works in most cultures that practice it. The Christian fundies just give it a whiter-sounding name.
G’night!
I find it disturbing when I meet guys who are fixated on virgins.
I think there are so many double standards in life too. One of my friends talked to me about my “problem” once. Apparently, making out with 7 *gasps* different boys in the course of a year was too slutty. This from a guy who had many sexual partners. He was worried that I was “leading the boys on”. Anyhow, I bet if I had slept with those 7 guys it wouldn’t have been a problem.
So the real problem was that you weren’t making out with him, right?
Ha, I bet if you had slept with those seven boys and not him, you’ve have been a Slutty McSlutsker all right.
With guys like that my question for them is always, OK, if it’s wrong for women to sleep around but you want to sleep around yourself, and you’re straight, where do you think your sexual partners are going to come from? If women followed the “don’t be a slut” advice there would be nobody for those guys to have sex with.
Sadly, the guy who called me out on it was gay……..
So, no he didn’t want to sleep with me. Though he may have wanted some of my makeout partners?
