I have never used a dating app either. Hearing about the phoniness and avatar-like presence of people is all too common. I don't know what people mean by "putting themselves out there" these days.

Like after a break up, how do people meet one another?
Church, produce section at supermarket, library, etc?

Cyber-**** sound bad about 95% of the time.

Honestly, that's what college is for.  For young adults who have some ambition in life to meet each other and upon graduating get married.  Except, that's all gone to ****. Not happening. What a waste.

Certainly college is (or can be) a significant maturing stage for young adults.
Networking, friends-for-life, potential mate, etc. may be all the good secondary parts of a college experience.

Education and skills shouldn't be basically ignored: that's what college is for. Honestly.

Today, I could learn just about anything from youtube. Things I might not be able to learn from youtube:

• Advanced accounting principals and techniques / tax and entity accounting
• Surgery
• Advanced concepts in microbiology
• Math necessary for theorems and proofs of concepts used in Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, Special Relativity and Field Theory, etc.
• Use of Algorithms, modeling and charting for Finance. 
• Advanced Creative writing for people who actually know how to write (or just read King's book "On Writing").
• How to teach K-12 without beating idiots (like jerrab) into a coma.
