georgym Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 No, and i think just the opposite.The way i look at it, society has changed greatly in the last 20 years. It used to be that you would go on a date, take time to get to know one another, and then decide in which direction, based on chemistry, interests, etc... if you stay together or not.But now, everything is grey area. Some people hook up, women are in the workforce much more, and things just have taken a more casual sense. I believe in relationships, but true relationships only happen in piecemeal steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest00901 Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I don't think on relationships at allOn how WE are yes but I don't think I have heard anything bout relationships:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 No, I don't think so. There's also a huge emphasis placed on being single, sowing your wild oats, getting laid, etcetc.Maybe it balances out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tastyt Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Well, in this day and age, no one really *needs* to be in a relationship unless they really want to. Women don't need to look to men for financial support, and we certainly don't need to wait for marriage in order to fulfill our sexual curiosity.I do believe in dating around, etc, before settling down... if we're going to make a (hopefully) life long commitment like that, we need to have a good idea what we really want in a life partner.

georgym Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 I hope that our generation is smart enough to take notice at the 50% divorce rate issue we deal with, and not get married until they are definitely sure about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuturephunk Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Originally posted by fliptoniaaa its rwally much worse than thattheres alot more factors they dont even tell u about ..You really need to work on that spelling and grammar before you write anything for a masters thesis..Hate to criticize, but I'm a stickler for writing style....Oh and, answering the question, society is doomed, so it really doesn't matter what it advocates per se.. In 'the now', its all about getting ass and stuff like that..being pretty and whatnot..Bonds of love really take a back seat to instant gratification and superficial projection.. Take that as you may.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that as you may.. damnit... and i was gonna crawl outa my cave to say the same thing... oh well... you put it better than i would have... and i guess to expand a little:sex is everywhere... you can't turn on your tv, play a video game, listen to the radio, look at webpages, drive down the street, or pretty much anything else without seeing some sort of sexual fantasy for sale... literally, short of being ted kazinski, its pretty fuckin hard to avoid the overwhelming influence of sex on EVERYTHING...but on a lighter note... atleast ted's shack in montana is going for a low rate now that the economy is in the shitter, and hes locked in a cell...

I know way too many party girls that want nothing to do with a steady relationship, and I know men who are desperately searching for "the one" (emphasis on "desperate"). It's not a gender thing; it's more about the stage of life you're at, how you've been raised, things of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a gender thing; it's more about the stage of life you're at, how you've been raised, things of that nature. I still stand by what I said. I guess I think that way from where I grew up. Every girl has always wanted/needed to have a boyfriend at all times. When girls in my neighborhood are actually single they seem to always be longing for a boyfriend or mr. right to come alongbut then again who isn't looking for mr. right / mrs. right to come along?except those i want to be single for life people who dont care what great of a thing comes there way.anyway what the hell is this thread doing on the sex board its gotten way to philosphical .
