It's a #### show out there. Wear a helmet.
And our society is a reflection of our continually eroding systems of values. Being self-absorbed is the biggest thing that has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 30 years. It isn't the kids' fault, it is the parents who raised them and allowed for technology and fear of what ifs to replace the social development of their precious babies. Dating is all of those self-absorbed, isolated, sheltered kids now trying to interact with the opposite sex simply to fulfill their own desires. Hard to be in a serious relationship when you've barely even had a casual one.PIK95 said:It's just a reflection on society as a whole imo.

Don't feel like working. You replied for what reason? Good day, sir.And you started this thread for what?
You are as bad or worse than the women you are trashing on this "blog".Check out the blog I started to chronicle some of the LOLs.

I met a couple new dopes in real life over the weekend & would have been better off staying home
what systems of values you are referring to that are eroding?And our society is a reflection of our continually eroding systems of values.
Sorry, wrong.You are as bad or worse than the women you are trashing on this "blog".
Look in the mirror, kid. Time to start treating women with respect, even if they don't act like they deserve it.
It has definitely gotten worse in the last few years. The sense of entitlement that most people have now is off the charts.what systems of values you are referring to that are eroding?
I say that dating has always been a ####show for people once they are out of college and getting a little older on the spectrum
umm, you don't come off looking very good here............and that might be an understatement.Check out the blog I started to chronicle some of the LOLs.

Treating people with respect and general decency. Not thinking of yourself as better than others. These traits are continually decreasing in the US as time goes on.what systems of values you are referring to that are eroding?

I agree with Jayrod here, you're a real piece of work.Sorry, wrong.
but here's the thing, we have never treated people with respect and general decency. people have always thought they were better than others. Can you give me an era you're referring to? are you talking the 80s-90s or going back to the 50s-60s? even further?Treating people with respect and general decency. Not thinking of yourself as better than others. These traits are continually decreasing in the US as time goes on.
Actually what these "values" are is simply character traits that used to be taught. When these values are not properly taught, people end up defaulting to the immature stances that they are born with and viola, you got some d-bag making fun of girls on dating sites with his own "blog" and posting about it on an internet forum.
Of course there are instances of this in every era. These are very generalized statements of non-quantifiable traits. I am guessing as to the how/why things have changed, but times, they are a changin'.but here's the thing, we have never treated people with respect and general decency. people have always thought they were better than others.

of course, we treated SOME people with respect and decency, but others weren't treated that way and it was just acceptable
Yes, and it was a disaster then tooDidn't we already do this same thread topic with the OP?
oh I think this has always been happening to women since they starting standing up for themselves a little and got out of the kitchen and 'barefoot and pregnant' mindset. the thing is nowadays that these things are broadcast around the world on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or blogs. same things for treatment of other groups. It wasn't respectful and decent back then and it isn't now, only now we have to read about it on a daily basisOf course there are instances of this in every era.

Maybe it is all just a bunch of anecdotes and I'm way off base. That's just how our society seems to me. I try not to be "get off my lawn/the good ole days" guy, but I can't fathom me or any of my friends treating women the way even Magic Man has in this thread in the 90's, much less the even worse exchanges you read/hear about. Seems like the numbers do bear out that people in their late teens and twenties are finding a stable, serious relationship more difficult to attain than in prior generations. There is something going on, and I'm really just guessing as to why from my personal observations.
You my be right. I know the general rapeyness has been exposed and may even be on the decline. Maybe it is mainly the result of people being able to hide behind usernames and post anonymously that has led to more exposure of something that has always been there.oh I think this has always been happening to women since they starting standing up for themselves a little and got out of the kitchen and 'barefoot and pregnant' mindset. the thing is nowadays that these things are broadcast around the world on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or blogs. same things for treatment of other groups.

A) You first need to have a sense of humorumm, you don't come off looking very good here............and that might be an understatement.
You don't have to be a "tough perfect example" of a man to not go out of our way to call women "dumb c***s", "idiots" and berate them for trying to date with children.A) You first need to have a sense of humor
B) You must know what sarcasm is
C) If you think the highlighted profiles and gems, you should definitely get your head checked.
D) This is the internet, you're all tough perfect examples of men, right?
E) LOL
Is that actually what you got from those? If so, LOL. I don't understand how that is what you took from it. Talk about couldn't be more wrong & obviously fail @ reading comprehension.You don't have to be a "tough perfect example" of a man to not go out of our way to call women "dumb c***s", "idiots" and berate them for trying to date with children.
What exactly are you getting out of doing that other than trying to make yourself feel superior (you're not)?
A - my sense of humor is great, just less ****-ishA) You first need to have a sense of humor

So you aren't going to answer my question then?Is that actually what you got from those? If so, LOL. I don't understand how that is what you took from it. Talk about couldn't be more wrong & obviously fail @ reading comprehension.
You're just superior to me, though, right? Come on, hypocrite.
This. All of this.A - my sense of humor is great, just less ****-ish
B - I am fully aware of sarcasm, yet your blog doesn't seem to contain any
C - I assume you mean "are gems". Not saying that. People that are down or struggling don't need to be mocked for it, especially women putting themselves out there.
D - I've failed in life several times over, some of which has been documented in this forum. But I have been happily married for 18 years to a beautiful, amazing woman who loves me and I love her. We treat each other with a great deal of respect and grace. Maybe it is your understanding of what is a man that is the problem.
E - I don't really think you are as funny as you think you are.
I don't know about how big of a problem this is as I've been in a decent, serious relationship for almost 17 years.What then do you think is the problem with people being able to find a decent, serious relationship?
Yeah, he has tried spamming his site before here with similar responses.You guys giving the OP some more hits on his website I see.
Look, truth hurts. This day and age, we need less of the snowflake mentality & more of the facts. People need a kick in the ### to get it together.A - my sense of humor is great, just less ****-ish

& you're not as right as you think you are, but thanks for the tip, stranger!Advice to the op: you are not as great as you think you are. and you're not as terrible as you fear you are.
LMFAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAlike Magic Man, entitled men who now act like all women are stuck up #####es because they refuse to go out with them or have sex with them.
confirmed doosh.A) You first need to have a sense of humor

You're probably right. But i am righter than you. Right? Right on.& you're not as right as you think you are, but thanks for the tip, stranger!
The fit is elusive because too many have unrealistic expectations. Also, a big problem today is too many folks would rather just roll out & start over vs work on the relationship they're in. Why? Because the easy road.Its funny - I have been divorced for a few years and am now dating in my early 40's - and I definitely have some stories from doing so that I wouldn't have believed were possible. My friends enjoy my play by play.
But most of my dating experience has been the realization we are all trying to figure out what it is we want and need and all that good jazz and finding the elusive fit is hard. Ive been on a lot of dates. Some have been horrible. But that's no one's fault.
And I say this with humility - Magic Man - every single one of your crappy dates has had one thing in common. You were on it. And I don't say that to mock you, I say the same about myself. Ultimately we do what we can do and let the cards flop as they will.
