Even worse I find that young men detest the young women who are so loose and who have no natural grace or shame. Everything about young men says to women give me your body but keep away from me in any other aspect of life. The lack of respect that is earned from being easy lets men treat women like hoes and bitches rather than precious gifts from God and women see men as providers of their shopping desires and lifestyles. Men must have great bodies and big wallets or they are tossed to one side. There seems to be no requirement to be a decent person - one you can respect and admire!
I just finished up with English class for the summer. A young girl was in my class. I would say less than 21 years old. I didn’t really talk to her a whole lot for the semester, but we started talking more the last few classes. From our few conversations, I found out she is a young, single mom who lives with her mom. Her daughter is a baby. A boyfriend unceremoniously just left her to go back with his ex. Baby’s daddy is a “whole different story.” She told me she’s never going to get married...she wants to be a cat lady. I knew what she was saying was from a broken heart. Even everyday, average modern girls still desire and crave romance and to be treated right.
Anyway, she said she wanted to stay in touch with me. Her little sister is the same age as my daughter and she talked about getting together sometime. So I read this article, then went to Facebook. I looked her up and “friended” her just now. I found this on her Facebook page, posted at the end of July:
“Maybe a cute relationship where we post cute pictures, stay up all night talking on the phone, tell each other our biggest fears, our dreams and our future together.....maybe someday.....”
It really can be a sad, lonely place out there.

Ping!
I don’t understand the connotation(s) of “innocence” if something other than “innocence” can be perceived as guilt unless you’re talking about criminal sexual conduct, rape, etc. or child molestation, etc., especially the latter.
“...Anger, resentment, self-promotion, immodesty, cruelty, callousness, perversion...”
This is all one sees on US TV, movies, commercials, US entertainment of music videos and game shows...I just finished watching a South Korean show - Roommates - it’s amazing how complete strangers in the Pop Entertainment culture over there treat one another and their fans...completely opposite of the US side...
When 1 series promotes Christian values and family (Duck Dynasty) - Hollywood goes through the roof! Just 1, not many...
Kinda like the Israeli conflict — the Middle East is owned by Moslems - but that little piece of land is causing so much turmoil...as if the Jews are responsible for this...confusing isn’t it?
When and IF my daughter dates before 18 but definitely after 16 - the boy will meet me - and there will be guidance - and if he doesn’t like it - then to hell with him and his pathetic parents for not raising him honorably!
The whole concept of dating gets absolutely no help from explicit sex ed classes.
I work with many 20 somethings. The idea of dating, of actually courting someone, is viewed with fear.
See, it is much easier to hook up (as in intercourse) with “no strings attached” than to become open to rejection from a relationship.
Men don’t want to risk running into the “crazy one”, and have seen to many of their friends destroyed by such relationships. Women believe that they can have it all, and getting settled down on one guy would be “boring” and bad for their career.
I am so glad to be married and out of the dating pool. If for some reason my wife passed away, I would never date again.
Excellent points. (The monsignor forgot to proofread, however.)
**The loss of innocence and the rise of cynicism have rendered the relationships between men and women hostile, fearful, and fraught with negotiations and posturing. **
This makes me wonder what is happening in public schools? What are these youngsters learning?
