Orange County Goggles 

Share definition Flag
The phenomenon whereby a young male professional routinely checks out, pursues and dates women well over 30 years of age, instead of pursuing women in their 20s.

High housing prices in Orange County, California lead to a demographic situation whereby there is scarcity of women ages 22-30, so most female inhabitants are either too young (high school age) or too old (cougars, MILFs, divorcees, Persian medical professionals, etc).

Over time, his taste in women completely changes to the point where he considers his love of 30+ women as normal and standard, even to the point of forgetting about the existence of young hot women.

A male with Orange County Goggles may travel outside of OC and accidentally find himself around hot 20-something women. At this point he will feel a strong sense of disillusionment and urgency, and an awareness of his Stockholm Syndrome.
Roberto, who lived in an Irvine Company apartment complex in sunny Orange County, California, had to attend a business meeting in Los Angeles. After his work was done he visited a bar in Santa Monica, where he was shocked to see a plethora of beautiful 25-year old women dancing and socializing with high-energy. He sighed to himself as he realized he had Orange County Goggles for many years, spending so much time back home text messaging 35-year old professional women, trying to take them out to expensive dinners at Javier's.

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
