...men may be more likely than women to hookup hoping that it will be a one-time encounter, with no further contact with the partner. And, men may more often hope the hookup leads to continued sexual involvement only (i.e., repeated hookups, but no emotional ties, with the partner). In contrast, women may be more likely than men to hookup with the hopes that it will eventually lead to a romantic relationship with the partner.

In the results, many of the predicted gender differences held true. Thirty-eight percent of young men indicated that continued sexual involvement was the ideal outcome of their hookups in general, compared to only 16 percent of young women. This difference was even more striking when asked about the ideal outcome of their most recent hookup: 63 percent of men but only 11 percent of women said they hoped that hookup would lead to continued sexual encounters only. More young men (19 percent) than young women (10 percent) also ideally wanted their hookups to lead to no further contact with the partner.

In contrast, a much higher proportion of women (64.5 percent) than men (35 percent) ideally wanted their hook ups in general to lead to romantic involvement. Again, the gender difference was even more pronounced when they were asked about their most recent hookup: 60 percent of women versus 13 percent of men said a romantic relationship was the ideal outcome of that sexual encounter.

Together, these findings suggest that there are strong gender differences in what young adults want from their hookups. Those differences are in line with evolutionary and socialization-based theories, as well as many laypeople’s expectations that men generally just want sex while women want to form a relationship. As such, they highlight how young women as a whole may be disadvantaged by the current culture surrounding hookups on college campuses.

We talk about how men are disadvantaged in the hookup culture a lot and solutions to that, but little discussion on female disadvantages and how, if possible, to correct them. If men desire continued non-committal sex after a hookup while less women do, then there is certainly a disconnect between the genders that will ultimately negatively impact women. An unintended consequence of sexual liberation is the expectation of women to put out, even if that is not what they ultimately desire. However, I don't think we can nor should shove that cat back in the bag.

Q4All: What do you think explains these results in how the genders differ in what they want from hookups (evolutionary vs socialization)?

Q4All: Can you propose a solution to reduce the disadvantage women have in hookups?
