I think you misread the date, this thread is from 2017 not 2007, it's just a year old. Besides that I disagree, not much has changed in 12 years. Technology has changed, but dating hasn't changed that much.
I for sure think it existed, but it's more exposed now because much more of it happens online. Before most of it happened offline, leaving little evidence of the existence of this culture. Hookups has probably happened for thousands of years...
Feminism such as what we have today has been around for several decades. Only difference is that we have the internet which enables them an easy way to effectively spread their ideas and grow their numbers, the ideas are nothing new.
It always has been, prostitution is one of the oldest jobs that exist.
Making this the one and only parameter that makes or breaks a relationship is dumb. It seems guys on here only evaluates sex, we learn how to get it and few progress from that. Nowhere on here do I find guys discussing how to evaluate a woman besides sex. It's just NEXT, we start over and pull out when we reach the same point instead of exploring it further. Like the only thing of value is sex, I find that depressing as fvck.
I waited far longer than both you and
@Pandora suggests, but my patience sure has paid off. Why didn't I just next? I didn't because I was very sure she would come around after a while, I could see beyond the narrow thought of "it's been 3 dates and no sex, everything else is irrelevant". I learned how to evaluate with more than just 1 parameter and I was right in my predictions because of it. I have fvcked her any time I wanted for almost 4 years now, many times she's initiating and there's no sign of that ever dying down. But this is only a fraction of what I love about her, there's so much more that made her worth the wait.
You'll likely not have that because you don't have the patience. You will risk wasting some time, but how much time are you already wasting on going from one slvt to the next? Wasting in what sense? What do you consider not a waste of time? What are you looking for in women besides sex?
