In a few ways I'm an old fashioned guy, and one of those ways is how I date. I focus of one girl at a time.
I dont believe is dating many people and choosing from the bunch, to me this causes un needed stress.
unfortunately these days I'm in the minority on this. most people seem to want to "weight their options" while stringing along several people.
Now why do I hold to this standard?
Because I feel that only through giving one person 100% of your romantic attention can you get to know that person on their own merits free of comparing them to others or as close as you can get to that.
My post wasn't about standards, or dating styles. It was about the reality that you'd be mobbed constantly, and would have to decide on a mate from the clamoring hordes. You seem to think that under those circumstances, choosing someone to date would be a sedate affair, as it is now. You don't seem to understand the implications of the situation.
But no I would not want to be the last human alive, last male? hell ya, last human? nope, I would be jumping off the highest structure I could find. well unless realistic androids were invented by then.
Dude! '64? That'd be like BLACK N WHITE. I can't even hang with 240p youtube vids. I'd rather read the book.

Nope, because I would not have a problem with humanity ceasing to exist in that situation. If all the rest of the men on Earth are gone, it is clearly for the reason that our time to exist as humans has ended.
There was a graphic novel I read called "Y-the last man" where one day every mammal with a Y chromosome dropped dead with the exception of the main character and his pet monkey. basically the human population was 3.5 billion women and him.
personally I would love it, to be judged on my own merits and not have to compete with other guys in finding the one I will grow old with.
Having passed through towns where the male/female ratio leans drastically in one direction I notice a definite advantage for the minority sex. I had a friend who was unlucky in love since highschool, couldn't get a date in a brothel with a fist full of hundreds. his grandfather passed away and left him a house in west texas in a town where women outnumber men 23 - 1, and he is living the dream(funny he no longer wants a wife). But anyway, would you want to be the last of your sex?
There is nothing about being the only man on earth that would result in you being judged on your own merits. More along the lines of "all we have left." Yeah, no thanks. I hold myself to a much higher standard than that!
And you see - I'd RATHER you have the option of having that bimbo instead of turning your sights on me simply because the bimbo died along with all the other women.

So is any person who lives in a town where the male / female ratio leans heavy in one direction, is the sex in the minority not being judged on their own merits? or is it a "well there's not much to choose from" situation.
