I sure wish I knew what the answer to this problem is. Certainly, part of the problem is that there are too many women who don't exercise the supreme power they have in any relationship, the power to say, "No."
Yet that isn't the problem we both citing. It's my contention that there are still lots of fine and decent young folks of both genders. The problem is how to get them together. Who knows. Maybe there's something to the old adage that you have to take a chance to have a chance.
I know a young man that took a chance (not that long ago) with a lass I'm sure he considered at first to be "out of reach." The hand hasn't yet played out, but if it continues in the direction it seems to be, I think he may have hit the jackpot.
I refuse to accept that too few exist. I just think if people stay active, and make themselves available, eventually they must stumble into the right place at the right time. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I think you're probably right...however, I think it's harder than it used to be. Not very many ways to just meet people casually. I have plenty of friends through church and music activities, but not many are my age. The ones my age all seem to be out drinking and acting up...not something that interests me. Maybe that's not true of every area, but it IS frustrating.
