Asking on behalf of guys who do not have girlfriends because the senior guys took away all the girls in their class, and so are:
a) looking forward to emulating them and dating girls from the new batches.
b) looking forward to remaining single and watching campus PDA for entertainment (when bandwidth is too slow to watch Netflix and the volleyball court is occupied by seniors who won't let you play, leaving you jobless)
@R: don't mark this trollish, it's more relevant for students than you think.

You sound as though consent matters only while dating NLU girls. Nothing like consent or no consent when it comes to traditional girls because they are...well traditional and stupid?
I'm speaking from my experience in a T-1 NLU, where seniors have hit on so many girls in my batch and made them uncomfortable. Of course, sometimes the attraction is mutual and they become couples, but that's the exception and not the norm. The norm is that it is predatory behaviour, and senior guys think that it's easier to hit on juniors since it's tougher for them to say no. There was in fact a group of boys in my NLU, who had a chat where they used to discuss and rate the bodies of junior girls. Not only did this group use their position as mentors to get closer to junior girls, but they actually hit on them regularly too despite their advances not being reciprocated. They even used blackmailing, guilting and other pressure tactics to get the girls to date them.
Rather than normalising it, it's time we end this culture.
