What, specifically, is unnatural about the "situation" we're in now?

And can you elaborate on this unpleasant "correction" that you predict?

There has always been "war of the sexes" to some varying degree. I think perhaps maybe things are worse now, IDK... maybe, I'm not out there shopping, so I can't say with certainty.

I know that CD-R isn't a good metric to gage off of. If it were true what you read here the population would probably end.....

If your hot have have guys hitting on you and your horny your going to bite sooner rather than later, so long as the guy is hot.
Not true. Some hot women don't get approached, because guys think they're taken or that they're not in the same "league". Others get approached, but only by sleazes. Those turn down the sleazes and guys who only want them for arm candy, and they look for the shy, decent guys, and they marry them when they find them.

You haven't read the posts saying that when society was structured that way, it was NOT for the better, for a variety of reasons. And society being structured that way didn't at all eliminate the problem the OP brings up, of relationships gone bad.

There were bad relationships then, and bad relationships now. The difference is that now people can free themselves up and look for a good relationship. Back then, they couldn't.

Sure, it happens, but as highlife said, it's not the norm. So it IS true.

I completely agree. It seems that romantic relationships between people are getting worse. I have fallen for just wanting sex before, but I prefer to be romantic and get to know a girl first. It just seems that dating is replacing romantic relationships in college and its unfortunate.

I don't want to speak for highlife2, but the correction is going to be when the government/society/culture runs out of other people's money to paper over the bad choices of "strong, independent, empowered" (lol)women.

And I disagree that our current situation is unnatural, we're actually returning to what is natural...i.e. the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. But he's correct, it's still bad.

Dating is how romantic relationships start. You must have a very different definition of "dating". Dating's been around for at least 100 years.

I think your definition of the word "dating" is quite outdated, TBH.

On that note, I think what is considered a date these days has done more to confuse people than anything.

Not everywhere mind you, but definitely around some of the metropolitan areas I have lived in or around.

Career dictates life and not the other way around and priorities have shifted in all respects of life as a result.

That and the fact that there are a disproportionate number of men who have become a sort of social out cast as far as good jobs and desirable women. As the currancy crumbles who do you think is going to be recruited by the unknown future power to be their muscle. In germany it was the SS and the SA who were hitlers thugs.

What do you think guys with nothing to loose are going to do when they are granted access to the "party" and only members of that party will be getting good jobs and thus the only ones that can provide any security for a woman. Oh and by the way the hot douch who was landing all the women before just may have his door kicked in and be sent off some where and womens rights will disappear over night (divorce protection, etc, etc).

The other possibility is we will just slowly seep into second world status and the smart people will simply leave to which ever nation fills that power vacuum.
