The Watering Hole

I just moved into a new apartment complex.  Within this complex, there is a swimming pool.  It appears that among this habitation of single students, the swimming pool is a builder of social interaction.  I have come to the conclusion that apartment complexes hire swimming pool builders in order to encourage inhabitants to mingle and seek out potential mates.  Males position themselves in the hot tub and wait to the females to wander over in packs.  These swimming pool builders know that they need to place the hot tub in clear sight of the pool so that inhabitants can see a full panoramic view of all the singles that have come down to enjoy the cool, refreshing water.  The swimming pool builders also know to supply a large amount of beach chairs that females can use to lay out on, supposedly making them more attractive and boosting their ability to attract a surplus of potential mates.  Often times, these pool builders will put lights in bottom of the pool, drawing the singles out at night and making them look more attractive than they actually are.  These swimming pool builders really know what to do to increase the ritual of flirtation that seems to be a tendency among these very lonely young adults.
