People in their 70's and 80's grew up in a time of rigid gender roles as well as strong ideas about the purpose and value of relationships, and the responsibilities of each person to their partner. Much has changed. People are now primarily interested in finding partners with compatible lifestyle interests. They're less willing to settle and have limited patience for making troubled relationships work, as there is no longer less value in the relationship itself versus what both people get out of it.

Very well put, I have to agree with this.

The weaker relationship responsibility and gender role become, the more human nature steps in; and human nature is fickle. It wants new things when old things become familiar.

I think lasting relationships happen between people who are sensible enough to know the difference between what they need and what they want.

The truth is that women wants MEN not weak romantic morons. They don't want just romance, they want it all, in every hole.

Thing which I think is good.

Hahaha... wow. Bit extreme.

And bit too true. Believe me when I say that nothing beats a shaved dick and a well licked pussy. Women are not unreacheable. They are just like us, but dick bactwards.

Most people still want intimate, lasting relationships. I think society is just trying to feel things out right now and will ultimately settle upon a new norm.

Maybe the modern ideas that men and women are identical, and that doing what the hell you want is best, are flawed.

Whether you take a religious view or a darwinistic one, humans seem 'designed' to function in certain ways. The Christian can point to the bible's description of marriage, the atheist can point to animal societies which tend to have well-defined roles and gender-based differences.

True.. When a girl knows you can sexually please them, they turn into microwaved butter and from there you can act like an asshole and it'll probably make them like you more. Being a a nice gentleman is something they are taught to want by their parents, but not actually what they want. (of course, this doesn't apply to all girls, just my exp)

Just compare the looks you get from them after sex compared to doing something nice for them (opening doors, buying flowers, being a gentleman). One look is the "batting eyed obsessive crazy psycho chick love" look, the other is just a programmed response.

The worst think a gf has done (or any woman can do) to me, is trying to manipulate me through my feelings particulary if they know I'm passing through a moment of weakness. That's something I don't forget, and I certainly don't forgive.

Sadly, that's what most women do. Thus one has to be an garde most of the time and pick very wisely when one is going to let one's feeling flow and how to do it without giving them the impression they can control you.

In this day and age you wont find many "honest" relationships.

In this day and age? Why is that?

Because people these days are twisted and morally corrupt. Any person in their 70s or 80s will tell you this, and how things have changed.

Hell, I was born in 1987 at the height of the UK's yuppie era and even I think society has gone downhill noticeably in the past few years.

Haha. I have seen this dictum pronounced in some form or another. For the past 5,000 years.

Quote: Original post by Hesiod, Eighth Century B.C.

I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless
beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and
impatient of restraint.

Quote: "The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of
today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for
parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as
if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is
foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest
and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."

-Peter the Hermit (yes is real) a.d. 1274
