This generation will die alone: Trying to meet girls in college fails

This meme opens with an anonymous 4chan-style post giving the common dating advice 'Just meet girls at college bro', followed by a photograph of a crowded university lecture hall filled with primarily female students sitting at desks using laptops while a professor lectures at the front of the room. Below the photo is a classic 4chan greentext list where an anonymous user shares his frustrating experience trying to meet women in his college class: he states his class is 70% women, but no students ever interact with each other, everyone leaves immediately after the lecture in complete silence, any attempt he makes to start a conversation is met with annoyed reactions, and when he tried talking to a nerdy female classmate with anime stickers on her laptop, she reacted negatively, put on headphones, and left class right away. The meme jokes about the widespread modern sentiment that young people are increasingly socially withdrawn, making traditional casual dating and peer connection in settings like college far more difficult than older generations claim, supporting the core idea that this generation may struggle to find romantic partners and end up alone.

Text content

go to college
class is 70% women
no one talks to each other like ever
when the lecture is over they get up and leave in silence
whenever I try to start a convo with anyone they look annoyed
try talking to that nerdy looking chick with anime stickers on laptop
she immediately looks at me weird puts her headphones on an leaves class

Origin notes

This meme was posted to 9Gag under the original title 'This generation will die alone'. It combines a generic stock photo of a university lecture hall with an anonymous greentext story that was originally shared on 4chan's discussion boards, repurposed as a relatable meme commenting on modern social and dating struggles for young adults.
