BYU Dating

A survey of BYU students analyzing the dating scene.

they found the weirdest people on campus to interview

For anyone wondering... this was created and submitted for a Writing 150 assignment (a general course taken by a lot of BYU students). I only uploaded this to KZbin for the convenience of pulling it up for a presentation in class. I'm loving all of this feedback years later, not sure why so many people have taken interest in it recently lol

BYU students invented the term “non-committal make-out session” (NCMO, or “nick-mo”), which is like the Mormon version of hooking up. Legend has it that some BYU couples would drive to Vegas, get married at a cheap wedding chapel, do the dirty all weekend, file for an annulment on Monday, and then pretend it never happened. I spent three years as a student at BYU (before and after my church mission), and I hardly dated there. The thought of being a married BYU student was terrifying to me.

This just got suggested to me by KZbin in 2021 and...I'M IN IT!

[@noxmtg7017]

Idk why I'm watching this, I go to a completely different college, and I'm not mormon

[@slamdunk406]

I didn't go to BYU, but a lot of the pressures felt at BYU are felt in the church in general. I had a bishop in my YSA ward pull me in for a meeting one time just to lecture me on why I wasn't married yet. It was super awkward and weird. So yeah, I believe those who've had that kinda crap happen to them. It's unfortunate. Just live your life y'all and go with the current!

The girl at

[@scottbrandon9390]

My friend had just returned from his mission. He was back at BYU. There was a bishop who told my friend to go through the ward and stake lists and then date every woman until he found "the one" to marry.

[@patrick9440]

wow,these students are more like 9th or10th graders then college students.

[@Jacks.Outback]

The inside of BYU honestly looks like a high school

[@rokentom3926]

[@GreeninNature.]

There would be lot of distractions then, I would have hard time focusing on studies if am a BYU student.

[@bryanrickard7712]

The guy in the blue and white wide stripes gives off Judge Reinhold energy

[@scottbrandon9390]

They used to tell RMs that in order to avoid breaking the law of chastity, to marry within one year after return. So the pressure was on. I knew someone who proposed after the first date. He told her the spirit told him she was the one to marry. She bought it and they were married the next week in the SLC temple. Another guy came home and started going to the temple. Met someone there. They dated a month and got engaged.

[@scottbrandon9390]

I knew someone at BYU back in 2006 who was dating a RM fellow student. After four months he wanted to get married. His father told him to dump the girlfriend after the four months. She just wanted to finish her education first.

[@breezycovergirl]

I went to BYU. Why pressure ?

[@scottbrandon9390]

Priesthood class at BYU in the early 2000s was all about eternal marriage. Like every Sunday. Problem was many women wouldn't date you seriously unless you were a RM. I hear now there's not as much pressure to marry young.

[@dentonet2]

Meeting a quota? That's ridiculous.
