IN the 70's and early 80's most young women were excited and grateful to be asked out and they went out of their way to behave ..IF a new woman f**ked up, she was willing to apologize and make amends like AS said above.
The last thing she wanted back then was to lose you.
THe good 'ole days, eh ?
Technology now:
Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Text Messaging, etc, etc, etc...
Back then, women were confined to whatever they met in their social circle or by going out.
Nowadays, women can get dates just by SITTING AT HOME. It's such a turnaround from 20 years ago. Their supply for dates has increased exponentially while they can absolutely do NO work for it.
I'm pretty sure that limited their options by far which is why they tried to stick it out, specially if there was "time invested" in that particular relationship. Now, all they have to do is breakup and just post an ad online... Voila... "instant relationship".
It's being used to their advantage. Hell, I've seen women Facebook/Twitter DURING dates. So now, even if you hold a woman accountable, the general attitude of "I can get another man at the drop of a Tweet" seems to have mired the dating playing field.
For me, it's affected the age group I date. Unfortunately, I am more prone to go out with the women hovering around 30 than those hovering around 21. Granted, I don't take either seriously in the long run, but it gets annoying to see a woman constantly looking at her phone while she is trying to have a conversation with me.
As soon as caller ID came to fruition, chances of flaking started spiking. Remember the days when someone would call your phone and you had no clue who it was? Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it?
