Did someone post on the Retirement or Grandparents forum, telling all the old people who think the "old days" were so much better to post on this thread?
It is quite a shame that you make fun of older posters and their input . Not everything that is happening today is great and remember one day you will be that old poster . Sad that some people of today have the mentally of knowing it all .

He was making fun of the young guys who tend to post, wishing they could turn the clock back to the 50's, so they could boss women around at home, and it would be easier (they imagine) to get a wife.

From what my momma tells me, the 50s were a pretty ty time if you wasn't a white male. That era wasn't so good either. Just because older posters have tenure doesn't mean they know what they are doing.

Actually, I make fun of anyone who thinks it was some how better in the "good old days". People have been saying that it was better in the "good old days" since the time of Aristotle. It has rarely been better in the "good old days".

Actually I was not from that era but I hate when people make fun of others. No but they can remark without the insults .

Anyway, getting back to the topic, I was/is pretty reserved and quite guy. When I was dating, I never expected women to have sex for me on the third - fourth date. It would've been even too soon for me. But what I definitely expected by date 3-5 is at least some modest physical contact. Hand holding, hugging, maybe some light French kissing, etc. But if we did not have that and a woman drew back from my respectful light touch then I assumed that she is not into me at all and would end things...


And while I didn't expect sex on the third date I would expect it within a reasonable time frame. Maybe one to two months or so.

I'm attractive, but I can't keep a man to save my life once he knows I take my time.

If it happens over and over then perhaps you are sending the wrong signals. You might want to examine the types of men you are attracted to (or attracting).
