Dating itself is not the problem, the expectations of what dating has become might be though. As a 20-something male I can speak to this. Too many minds out there say "It's dinner, something fun and then sex.", and that's not just the idea in mens minds either. Often it is the male who is made out to be the sexual predator, but more and more I am getting to the end of *dates* and finding the women pushing it. Anyone else seeing this trend? The thought is, as I have been told, if I don't get him in bed the first night he's not going to be/stay interested. I understand that reasoning towards many in my generation, but it just doesn't work for me. The social norm appears to be that *dates* don't finish anywhere but in the bedroom anymore. How sad.

On the other hand, it does create a pretty good screening process. If you are that willing to get THAT intimate after just a few hours you're hisotry in my mind.

Fausto-- I'm right there with you. i'm a 24 year old women. our female contemporaries are whores! i knew of more girls into one-night stands in college than men! those dumbass "girls gone wild" videos that make me want to hurl each time i'm subjected to its commercial-- those epitomize how bad girls are today.

Oh, yea. Women are way more aggressive then men, nowdays.

Totally agree. I too am in my 20's, I date a little, and sex, or the option of it, is normally how the evening ends. Now all of the "hollyer then thou" people might want to stop reading this post, but sex is ok. It's fun, it's can be great for the mind and body, and its natural.

Its a different world then what some of you people grew up in. If you want to your kids prepared for life you better teach them more then tying their shoes and table manners. Instead of just the once a week Sunday school class's, you better teach them morals and and how to act responsibly.

Man or women must be prepared for the actions they take and the consiquences that come from them.
