moral values?

[ukpepper]

OK, maybe I am old fashion. I need to know if I am out of tune with today’s rules of etiquette. I remember when the male would do the pursuing, and the female was the pursued.

Females would act like ladies, and men would act like gentlemen.

It seems to me the dignity is gone. The roles are reversed, and the females are not just doing the pursuing, there is a desperation attached to how they are ‘working it’. The females I have seen will manipulate, and she can’t spread her legs fast enough - all in the name of love of course. What happened to self-respect? What happened to dignity? What happened to moral values? Has dating changed that much?

Many men use their little brain instead of the big one. My husband's favorite express (when talking to our sons).
Many women concentrate on outer beauty instead of inner beauty. I am hopelessly stuck in the Victorian age. I believe in chastity belts, marriage contract, dowry and marriage brokers. Oh well. Of course, my sons tell me nothing.

Sharon, I have a beef with you! Weren't you going to call me and come over for dinner? Did you loose my number? Eaglemom, Abby, Denise, AlwaysReady and Mama mary, you are welcome to come over too. LOL. I am off the the meet and greet in Fremont.

Woah, lady you need a reality check. Generation Y (18-26 yr olds) were raised on MTV, BET, the denigration of men, the raise of women are better than men thinking. In most cultures the act of modestly and morals is not a priority rather having fun getting laid and having no strings attached relations are praised. A lady is rather hard to find in this day and age and most young men are not looking for that. Rather they look for some who temporary satisfies their needs (aka sex , clean their home, make dinner, companionship). Its quite common for men and women to have high number of sexual partners at an early age. I would say its more likely the parents responsibility to raise a child in such away that they would treat women with respect and only want to date women who deserve respect and honor. It is not respectable to only date only for monetary security, nor is it respectful to date some one for sexual compensation. If you son is seeing skanky women maybe you should take a closer look at how you raised him. Because if he is used to dating only girl of high standards then why would it change because of joining the service?

Now why shouldn't women be the aggressor in a relationship? Old fashioned? Yeah. Double standard, anyone?

JaLeDu, what you say is very true. Many pay lots of money to be trained in how to get what one wants. When it doesn't involve sex - it's called a Master in Business Administration. All hedge fund guys know how to do it with their eyes closed.
