Wait...

...the 50s WERE a time before Civil Rights.

So yes, some here definitely are pining for a time before Civil Rights.

Hot times!
My grandma used to tell me how couples would have to keep a balloon between them while they danced, lol.

Oh my God!! Oh dear goodness, LOLOLOL....

Getting a visual here.

Oh boy. The good ol' days.

Of course, depending upon WHERE they were required to keep the balloon between them, things might eventually get interesting.

I think things are very superficial nowadays with the internet and all. Multiple choices for women looking for the man that doesn't exist promulgated by some Notebook fantasy. Let's watch a Hallmark series or two to see this man in action. I could practically write the script myself.


Back in the 50s they didn't have the internet so they met more in person. I think things probably were better back then in that sense. People were opportunistic and took what they got lol.

That's the one thing I think (or have heard rather since I wasn't alive then) was A LOT better in those days.

Nowadays, we have TOO MANY choices with the internet, social media, dating websites, dating apps, etc. People may not settle down because they may think someone better is around the corner.

Yes I am able to get all of the sex that I want and my house is routinely clean.

It would still be better if women did it.

Huh?

Are you saying it isn't women who do the cleaning for you?

Or it isn't women who have sex with you?

Maybe you can get your housecleaning dude to wear a skirt so you can imagine it's some chick cleaning your place. As for suggestions on that second part, well...dude, you're on your own there, am backing away from that one. But GL, anyway. Hope it all works out.

Not really. But I have heard well-informed and well-meaning people say that it was easier for people of average looks and average ability to find someone. Today, both men and women seem to have standards so high that I'm amazed anyone finds a mate.

And the latest trend, to stay home and surf for dates on the Internet, seems counterproductive, even if the ability of computers to sort large databases makes it easier to find someone with a lot of common interests. Sometimes you just have to get out of the house and meet people face to face.

You sound exceedingly happy with your life! Not at all bitter. Any woman would be lucky to have you. What with the cooking, cleaning & popping out a baby every now & then, it sure sounds like a dream. And to be denied companionship as well, OMG, where do I sign up?
