People:
Mackenzie
Age: 21
Place of Interview: Del Monte Shopping Center
I think of a one night stand when I hear the word hookup. Hookups are more of people just being sex
buddies while a relationship is where you are committed to each other and having sex. I would prefer to be a
committed relationship because its more meaningful. If I had to say a good thing about a hookup it would be
that there is no commitment.
Kade
Age: 21
Place of Interview: Del Monte Shopping Center
When I think of the word hookup I think of sex. The differences is youre committed in a relationship. I
would prefer to be in a relationship instead of hookup because you are faithful to each other. I wouldnt know
the good things about hookups because I havent hooked up before.
Bailie
Age: 18
Place of interview: Starbucks
I think hooking up is basically just having sex. Hookup means just doing things and a relationship has
feelings involved and meaning to it. I would prefer to have a relationship because it makes you feel good. A
good and bad thing about hookups is you have the freedom to do what you want.

Lexi
Age: 19
Place of interview: CSUMB

I think of someone having sex when I hear the word hookup. A relationship takes time and has feelings
involved. A hookup is basically a one night stand with no feelings involved. It depends on the day for me if I
want a hookup or be in a relationship. Sometimes I dont want the complications of a relationship but other
times I would like to have that bond with someone. The bad thing about hooking up is you can get and STD and
things can get complicated.
Sekai
Age: 20
Place of Interview: CSUMB
I think of tinder when I hear the word hookup. There is longevity in relationship but not in a hookup. I would
prefer a relationship because you have that close bond with someone so the intimate part is more meaningful. A
good thing about a hookup is your self-esteem could go up for a little while.
Jess
Age: 19
Place of Interview: CSUMB
I think of sex when I hear the word hookup. A hookup is just physical while a relationship is physical and
emotional. I would prefer a relationship because you dont feel gross. One thing that could be good about a
hookup is you dont have to worry.
Trenton
Age: 22
Place of interview: CSUMB
Sex is what I think of when I hear the word hookup. A relationship has feelings involved and you have that
special bond. A hookup can be with just a random person. I would prefer a relationship because you have more
a connection with that person. A bad thing about hooking up is it can be awkward.

Emmy
Age: 19
Place of Interview: CSUMB
Sex is what goes along with hooking up. Hooking up is just sexual and a relationship is emotional and sexual.
I would prefer a relationship because you get a best friend and someone you can trust. One bad thing about
hooking up is your self-esteem could go down.
Shauna
Age: 45
Place of Interview: Del Monte Shopping Center
When I think of hookups I think of someone being irresponsible and having no self-esteem. A hookup is where
you know very little or nothing about the person youre having sex with. A relationship is when you take time to
know them and have other interests than just having sex with them. Some bad things about hookups is they can
be dangerous because you dont know if they have any diseases and it can ruin your reputation.
Iman
Age: 19
Place of Interview: CSUMB
I think of people who have casual make-out sessions and sex when I hear the word hookup. A hookup may
be something like a one night stand. Whereas in a relationship both individuals are committed to one another. I

would prefer to be committed for a long time with hopes for marriage. One good thing about hookups is there
are no strings attached. One bad thing is there not long lasting.
Jason
Age: 37
Place of Interview: Starbucks
When I hear the word hookup I think of some raunchy kids having sex. The differences is you are committed
in a relationship. I would prefer to be in a relationship because you are comfortable and trust the person you are
with. A bad thing about hookups is if you dont know the person that well they could have an STD.
