Two people hanging out at a party, bar, or place of residence will begin talking, flirting and dancing. Battle of the sexes if women could simply extract commitment from men rather than participating in hookups, gender inequalities in college sexuality would be alleviated: women, losers in both hookups and relationships. Physical battery, emotional abuse, sexual assault and stalking occur at high rates in youthful heterosexual relationships.
