Just read this whole thread- Gotta say - I am a lucky man. Married 25 years - and the old saying "my better half" holds very true for me. Don't get me wrong- we have our up and downs - but we both know the other would jump on a grenade for the other one in a heartbeat. I do feel sorry for you "kids" out there. Neither of my sons (20 and 18 years old) have ever been on a single date. They have the same attitude as I am seeing on this thread - women are not worth it and they are all "bat crazy" and they have this attitude : I don't want to spend the time or money for a GF that wont be interested in any actual future together and kick me to the curb as soon as they think something better has come along. They see their friends spending money and getting their hearts broken and don't want any part of it. Its tragic- but I can understand it. So, have females changed that much since I grew up , or what?
