Is this specific to you? Are other young women struggling to find boyfriends?

 

If some of your friends have boyfriends, perhaps ask them how they went about it.

 

In my day (before OLD or hook up culture was a thing), people usually formed relationships when they had another reason to see each other on a regular basis. We all hung out at the same cafe on campus, attended the same events, etc. Does that still happen? We also usually hung out in mixed groups. Are your friends mostly women? If so, could you start including men in the activities that you do?

I don't understand how things got to be this way in society, but I've always wished I lived in a different time. A time when people didn't just throw things away after they broken like you said... I'd even settle for a time with before all this technology. I'm only 23 and use social media daily, but it brings a whole other dimension to relationships for people my age, and I could live without it.

 

You do realize you have to take the bad with the good right? Sure back in those days men courted women and were chivalrous, but women also didn't work and didn't have anywhere near the same level of rights and opportunities as men. Are you sure you really want to live in that past? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

why it become like this?

 

women wanted this. third wave feminism provide the "intellectual" framework, sex and the city the inspiration, low-fare airlines, big anonymous cities, schools away from family homes, the internet all provide what the woman believes is a way to live out her sexuality in a way that carries minimum to her sexual reputation.

 

what the feminists never discounted as that men's brain has very different value system on female chastity. a male brain dont give the benefit of the doubt to a woman, the woman is quilty until proven innocent. and lets face it, in todays world you cant find a woman who hasnt been ****ed by more men that she care to disclose.

 

it leaves a situation, where, as a man, you open a dating site, and there is a matrix of female faces coming up, and you can pretty much see the sperm in their faces before you write them. and if the girl write dont answer you on a tuesday evening, more likely than not, this is a true picture.

 

the very little chance that a man will invest in that. men's attitude will be to get the woman naked on all four in front of him at the absolute minimum investment possible. not dating, just texting the woman to your apartment if possible.

 

the feminists problem was that they assumed a chessgame where they could move three times and make make checkmate, forgetting that when you move the opponent moves.

 

when women changed, men changed.

 

 

 

LOL - this is absurd.

 

 

The bottom line is, women do not NEEEEEEEEEED men in 2016 as they did in the 1950's and 1940's.

 

That is what altered the whole dynamic. Women are now free to live life as they see fit, without having to depend on men to keep a roof over their heads.

 

 

I'm guessing the author above came from a culture in which women still depend on men for just about everything. And now he's here, in the western world, and unhappy that things aren't the same as they are/were back home.

 

 

Though I'm ready to blame "low-fare airlines" for most of the world's problems too. :lmao:

Yes I have been educated on world history and the history of feminism. I don't know what "days" you think I'm referring to, but my mother had plenty of rights in the 60's is happily married, and didn't have to grow up in this technology age. Sure there were other struggles, but every generation is going to have them. I was just stating that I have always wished I lived in a different time. Personally, I feel I do not fit in with my generation.

Nordic does have a point.

 

Feminism changed the game in many ways. One of these was making no-strings sex easier; another was to weaken the security of marriage for men.

 

Can't then blame these guys for not being interested in commitment. Especially when the person doing the complaining (the OP) is participating in no-strings hook up culture.

Feminism isn't about 'rights'. It's about female supremacy.

 

The culture was completely different in the 60's. Feminism was still a fringe thing.

 

Now it's the mainstream. Has been for something like 20 years at least.
