Tulane Men the Least Romantic on the Planet?

I post this only because this article is getting a lot of buzz on social media and not just at Tulane. Just as many people making fun of it as anything. So there's no meaning behind it being posted other than its out there, about Tulane, and I've seen people discussing it.

Sounds like bros being bros. Most of the young women I know would not put up with any of it.

Honestly, and I'm not referring to this article, but the current culture at TU can tend to be pretty bro-ish. I'm sure that will change. Everything is a cycle.

Tulane was very bro-ish when I was there too, way before bro behavior was a classified thing. I just had nothing to compare it to, so I assumed every college was like that, I guess.

That said, now having read the article, what childish drivel. She calls Tulane men "boys" but stands behind that story as mature?

I'm curious what kind of dancing she does if, every time she dances "the way she wants to," guys start grinding on her.

Hence why I was distancing myself from the article even as I mocked bro culture.

Creapy old 'bro here looked her up on facebook. She's a Chi Omega which if memory serves me correctly is like 3 houses down from the boot. Maybe she should push her boundaries (like more than a block) and maybe she'd meet a better class of men (boys). :lol:

It takes two to Tango. I don't know her, but I agree; maybe she is "looking for love in all the wrong places!"
