. When you go on dates and the man leaves you to walk 6 blocks to your car at night while they pass you in their car, when they don't show any side of being protective of your safety or welfare, it's hard to want to go out with someone a second time. If men actually stepped up to the plate and acted like they cared for and wanted to protect the woman, you would have a lot more women trusting them to make decisions...

It feeds on itself. The underlying culture is broken.

You actually had guys say bye to you at the end of the date, and not offer to walk you to your car? (Then again, a female friend of a business associate, if she's decided the date is not right for her, tends to just excuse herself to go to the ladies room, then bail out the door)

This happens a lot. You can't think about even dating someone twice because the basic human considerations are missing from many men in the Los Angeles area. If I was with a girl friend or a guy friend, I would give them a ride to their car...but I have countless stories of men not having manners or human considerations at all..

Yes, on this occasion, the man asked me to coffee...when I arrived there, I had to buy my own coffee. We talked until about 11 pm. I asked if he parked close and he said, "Yeah, I got lucky. I parked right outside the door." I said, "Oh, I parked 6 blocks away." He said, "Well, see ya later"...and he drove off and I walked to my car in Los Angeles in the dark at 11 pm. Everytime this happens I think, "Well, the guy doesn't like me so he's trying to turn me off by doing something rude."...but everytime they call back and ask me out again. When a woman constantly comes across men like this, it's no wonder they have had to be the one to protect themselves and step up to the plate. Women would love to trust the man making the decision if they knew that they had the woman's best interest in mind...but we are constantly reminded that they are lately only interested in their needs. It's sad and don't know what to do about it.
