Feminism is mostly about getting better sex for everyone, after all.
- birth control
- STI awareness and prevention
- women with education and jobs, who don't lean on men financially
- oral sex, anal sex, sex toys, porn, lots of different positions -- all these are now mainstream
- women who know and love their bodies, and know and love the bodies of their partners
I think what makes for the best sex, and what scares the more easily-firightened sort of man the most, is that women now have sex by choice most of the time, rather than out of a sense of obligation. She doesn't have to put up with bad sex just to land a man. She can support herself, and is with a man because she wants him, not because she and his kids will starve without him.
Sure. That's why average guys never get laid, never get married, and never reproduce to pass on their genes to create another generation of average guys.

Oh wait, yes they do. Never mind.
You mean like a family mrmber of mine? Married for almost 20 years and they hate each other. Two kids as well. As much as i would like a girlfriend, relationship, kids, etc. I want no part of what they have. Fear of that is part of what keeps me away. Silly as it sounds. I don't blame women or feminism or whatever for my problems only my own messed up thinking.
That's about the only thing i agree with from the post.
Though I believe I would have been much better off in the dating world if I were born in the 50s. But that's my opinion.
I think a lot of people of BOTH genders have arbitrarily high standards. For every woman who is looking for a tall, dark, rich, handsome man there's a guy looking for a slender, dumb, nympho supermodel. The women I know don't have crazy high standards...though there seems to be many guys who think 'no criminal record, no illegitimate children and doesn't do drugs/isn't an alcoholic' are having super high standards.

And my parents just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last month. They've been together since Jr. High and are still happy as clams. I'm as cynical as they come regarding relationships, but having my parents as role models does give me a small glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately my parents are not good role models. I can't understand why they didn't divorce years ago. They have been married 44 years.
I think that the problem now is that most people think that they are WAY better than they actually are. I mean, they come across as worshiping themselves because we live in the age of "self" above all else. They are self obsessed. That's cool and all, but good luck forming good relationships like that! A little bit of humility goes a LONG way!
All of this has made the dating world into a very hardened place with too many divas and macho players.

I don't know if I'd say most people think they're better than they are. I do think that those people are more likely to be frustrated with their dating lives, though, and more likely to whine about it on the internet, which can make them seem like they are most people.
