Men Think Insecure Chicks Want To Do The Nasty

David Grazian, the professor of Penn's not-as-cool-as-it-sounds Sociology of Media and Pop Culture course once called out a certain Street editor in front of a 300-person lecture for surfing the net during class. The problem with this accusation was that Grazian indeed saw said ed online...five minutes before class was scheduled to start. Said ed, a wee frosh, cried in front of the other 299 students and never quite forgave the Gladwell-worshipping prof.

Today Grazian popped in a Men's Health article about meeting women. He is quoted as saying, "Men are possessed by the myth of the pickup...[They think bars and clubs are] teeming with anonymous females who are dying to have sex with any guy who is confident enough to talk to them."

And thus endeth today's too-good-not-to-post professorial musing.
