    Tough going for the guys dating today & the most popular music(lyrics) isn't helping the situation for any age group's music.

    I wouldn't want to be a young person in today's society.
    You have a group of women who claim "assault" and "hostile environment"
    if a guy looks at them the wrong way. (And it seems "the wrong way" changes everyday.
    In nature wildly coloured animals (feathers, markings, etc) mean they are dangerous and stay away. Like some groups of people today. At least some
    of them give warnings.

    To ALL: What;'s been your experience with changing mores relating to dating & relationships?

    I've been out of the dating scene for years and no intention to start
    again. So other than the above, I have no comment at this tie. :)

    Yup; true story: s guy was charged with assault, because he, as a form of flirting, whistled at a girl & she called the cops.

    The facts were laod out: it was the first & only time hje had one so (if she'd requested he stop, yet he continued, she might feel threatened then, by his unwilingness rto respect her clearly communicated boundaries) & I have no beef with that, should a court find it to be such.

    People(Loony lefties, as opposed to normal ones) sya it's unfair to snap-judge a concern for young people dressed a certain way, with tattoos & piercings.

    I don't act on it, but I certainly do have a bit more concern for them than for the Mormons walking towards me in their shiny shirts & pants!

    The guys who asre all about putting ntches on their bed post should be aware that some women might just change their mind after the seduction has been agreed to & begun, & have him charged with rape.

    My advice is to get to know a lady first, so you can have a certain amount of trust in her not to be a jackass game-player.

    One comic's answer to women who complain about guys judging their skimpy/wanton clothing was to ask if it'd be reasonable to expect help from someone in a cop uniform? What if he was not a copy,. but jusdt wearing the uniform of one?

    "Okay, I'll stipulate you're not necessarily a slut, but you are certainly wearing the uniform of one!" (the audience, men & women alike, roared!)

    Same, but I remember enough. If U were to be vback in it'd be as a widow, & I'm given tyo understand things are easier for such than for the younguns coming out of college, or still in.

    Seriously, I signed up for a dating site a ways back & I entered my info & was directed straight to the Seniors' Page! (for 40+); I was 39!
