Not only is there no romance; there isn't any high standard relationship going on either.

These people eventually marry into superficial and suffocating marriages. They divorce within 4 years. I've seen it happen all the time. Plus look at the divorce rate. That should be a huge obvious clue as to where romance and relationships are headed.

They just use each other for sex whenever the urge arises and they can't stand being celibate any longer. My own experience with dating was no matter who I dated I was never good looking enough, never made enough money or had a prestigious job though I did have a good job so I was never good enough and nobody wanted to be romantic and even kiss or be snuggly its all quick sex is all anyone male or female wants.

Wembley...The term "pretty lady" seems pretty common out here. (In AZ and in Nevada and in the adjoining CA desert city areas.)...Every now and then my husband and son encountered older "motherly" (or "grandmotherly") type of women who called them "honey." (In stores or restaurants etc.) It never bothered them. It seemed "sweet."...If an older "motherly" type of woman calls me "honey" it doesn't usually bother me either unless it's "framed" as a "put-down." How about you?...Most of the time my Mom was a pretty "tough" woman. But every so often she let herself get a little "softer" and called me "darlin' dear" in a cute and sweet way. This was nice!...Come to think of it she called me "sweetie pie" at times too. I loved it when she let her "guard down" versus acting "tough" and "macho" all the time!...I probably have a lot of my Mother "inside" of me. I don't use terms of endearment all the time. But when I do they come straight from my heart!
