That sense of entitlement is also very widespread among American women - many, many flawed women have been raised not only to look beyond realistic expectations, but to DEMAND it.
They want the perfect guy, the perfect house, the perfect lifestyle, the bottomless bank account...meanwhile bringing very little to the table themselves.
Look at our media, and our culture. We created these women.
"That sense of entitlement is also very widespread among American women"
I think the popularity of "The Rules" books has something to do with it. Before, it was expected that equal rights meant women equally shouldered responsibility in relationships. Now, young women are going back to the old ways of making the guy do all the pursuing, pay for everything, go through all the hoops to court her because she's a "creature unlike any other."
