That best case scenario but that is not reality right?
I know what equality is. For true gender equality you think that will ever happen in this world? How about our life time will this happen? Next generation? Utopia?
Gender equality does not and will no exist. It will not exist as long as women keep pulling out "but I'm a girl!" card when it involves doing things that gets your hands dirty. Happens all the time.
Note: I realize not all women do this. Kudos to you for that.
MRA FTW!! What in the actual *kitten*?!0 -

I think it's what's been "sold" to women: to be equal to a man, one should be like a man. It's total crap, and both genders miss out. Unmarried women should not be putting out at such a rate that single men think if they spend money they should get sex.
That's not dating, it's something else, and the entire culture suffers for it, not just women. I had a friend complain, sorrowfully, about the meaninglessness of his hookups (good news - he finally found a wife!) Men need real relationships too, and benefit greatly from marriage.
Hook-up culture is a terrible lie that says you can get your needs met without the effort of a relationship. The problem with that is that people's deeper needs are being neglected. We are not animals evolved from other animals that need to behave in animalistic ways. When we behave in this way, (which most of us do from time to time), unhappiness results, because deep down we know we are better, we are made for better things.0 -

But we did evolve from other animals.
I'm so confused!

Only problem with "hook-up culture" is when both adults don't consent. Something tells me that your view on open marriages and swingers would be interesting.0 -

Apparently half of the BDSM community is doing it wrong.0 -

BDSM has nothing to do with this.0 -
I was going to join this thread as a late comer and say I literally don't know how to meet people anymore. But clearly s**t's going down here.0

I don't understand how this is possible? I've been married/engaged for about 15 years now. We still do date nights, spontaneous lunch or coffee hook ups. It takes work and effort, even more so than when dating!! Hoping things change around for you!!I can't even get my own husband to date me. We've been on one date since 2002. To a lunch buffet.

Silly. Just talk to people. You look like you have a cute sense of humor. Always say hi to people and start up a little friendly chat here and there with no expectations. You'll find you'll love it and it'll become a habit.
Key words.

I've found self-deprecating humor and non sequiturs make for great icebreakers.

I met a guy online and we hit it off immediately, after a few dates and chivalry and romance he mentions he is married!! Jaw drop! Anyway he went to Spain and thought he'd share that he couldn't concentrate with the prostitute he was with night before because I was on his mind!!
Even weirder, the guys I showed the text to kind of shrugged and went, well it's a compliment really,
WHU WHU WHAT???
I also spent DAYS texting with the funniest guy ever, and he turned out to be a different person and ethnic background and name from his picture. So now I just have a few little texts and try to meet them quickly to avoid that kind of disappointment.
Lots of 'married' guy experiences!
But I've also has great experiences too, and am currently dating an absolute diamond, that I nearly didn't go on a second date with because he wasn't exciting enough. Thank god he pursued me!0
