I never could figure it out. All three boys are conservative, Christian and Eagle Scouts. Miraculously, the eldest (founder of a dry fratnerity on his college campus) found the right girl (another "True Love Waits" prototype) and is getting married July 4. They will both be 22.
Boys #2 and #3 pine for girls who reject them, turn out to be lesbians, hate Republicans, etc.
The secret, I have found, is that alot of these girls are coming from homes with no parental supervision or core set of values. They are "sl*t" material, though I would never point that out directly to the boys.
Amazingly, as my parents would have predicted 40 years ago, "nice" girls do crop up and somehow G-d will find the right girl for someone at the right time.
Girls who have standards, one whom a parent would want a son to date, come from families who do not tolerate such behavior. They are still out there, probably wondering what's wrong with them, too.

I'll figure it out for you. What is taking place today is sex, not personal involvement. Many, probably most, woment today can screw the football team with bravado, but can not engage in personal intimacy or involvement. If your sons are worth a damn it will scare the hell out of these women.
An idiot they can shack up with for a night won't require anything from them and won't scare them.
Sexually active women are required to adopt the self-protective measure of engaging in emotional distance from men in order to preclude getting hurt in their serial disposable relationships. Any man attractive enough to threaten that defense creates fear.
Men sense that emotional distance and toughness on to part of today's sexually liberated women and don't want them for more than a night. Involvement with them is emotional suicide.
