Dating in the Modern World Has anyone else seen all the T. Toks and vloggers out there doing excerpts on dating or dates? I mean wow. They remind me a little of why I stopped "dating". A woman was taken to a nice place (granted not high dollar), but quite nice. She had a meal that was about a third of the average weekly income and was angry. She made a video ranting about how mistreated she was, not because the man wasn't a gentleman, but because he did not go broke to date her. I was honestly very impressed by the young man, who while flustered by her attitude, maintained complete composure. Where I live, in the vast wilderness, grown-ups really don't date. We hunt, we fish, we hike, we explore, we visit historical sites and sometimes go for coffee or ice cream after. Not expensive dates and often free, all great ways to get to know each other and spend time together. We also have Casino dates, where you pay your own way, hang out and have fun. Not really a great way to get to know each other, but they can be fun. If you make it to a point where you would like to take your date to a super nice place, it is a one to three hour drive. At the dinner hour in my town there is pizza, take a way Chinese, and burgers. So for a sit down, slow dining experience, its one hour to Escanaba, with Four decent choices or three hours to Green Bay with endless fabulous choices. This is most likely a contributing factor into really knowing where the relationship may head before "dating". I think this may be what has collapsed the long-distance trend as well. I did the whole long distance dating trend when it was the new hot thing to do. I also attended a lot of weddings that began that way. So, it did have its successes. Anyway, How do you feel? Has "dating" gotten out of hand? Should there be a handbook? Also what are your feelings on dating? |

Isn't it strange how society has worked so hard to emasculate men, and then women whine because they don't live up to whatever image they have of who they think the man should be and shower them with expensive attention. They can't have it both ways. It seems to me, as adults, if an expensive place is wanted, then go dutch. Women want that extreme independence, then let they pay their own way. And stop the whiny constant videos about life being so unfair. I better stop before I get up on my soap box! LOL. Personally, if I ever enjoy a man's company again, I would be happy to pay my own way, or split the cost, or even at times, pay the bill. A quiet, pleasant time of conversation would be more of a pleasure than an elaborate dining experience for me. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

One or even two videos, etc. showing women in a bad light do not represent women in general. The same can be said about generalized comments about any group. Sooo many of those videos/pictures/memes are purposely posted to elicit a negative response.
