On apps like snapchat I am more comfortable initiating hookups because the apps give me the feeling of having somewhat of a protective barrier or shield. As someone with horrible social anxiety, it is hard meeting people and initiating a hookup with them in person. This week’s topic of the social communicative aspects of hookup culture really resonated with me. It doesn’t matter what race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation you identify as, the definition of hooking is relatable to some degree. When it comes to hooking up, I don’t think it’s any different. I think often because we live in such a diverse world we tend to forget that we have a lot of shared experiences. Our class’ definition of hookup culture connects to my personal definition because it includes everyone.
