I had the most interesting conversation after about the men asking women on dates. I had been thinking in my own personal life, it had been a minute since a man asked me out on a date. Now I know that it is the recession, men don't have enough extra cheddar to be taking these women out. But do you think that is it?
Do you think it is possible that men aren't taking women out because not all women require it anymore? Sure, there are "traditional"* girls who still want a man to be respectful, ask them out, get to know them, but then there are others, who don't mind just hanging out at his house until hanging out at his house turns into hanging out in his bedroom.
FIRST and FOREMOST, no judgment. I'm not saying that sometimes that doesn't happen to the traditional girl as well, but all the time....uh, no.
So I went to my leading guy in doing everything he can to avoid being in a relationship/avoid having someone who can call him "hers"...Boo! Yes, I still talk to Boo. Yes, he still talks to me freely about everything and patiently answers all my questions. Yes, sometimes I get on his last nerve with my need for a fairy tale love and relationship, and he gets on my nerves talking about if you don't have to try, then why try stories. But deep somewhere, it works (or maybe it doesn't and I ignore it....(sings Nobody's perfect....))
Naturally Beautiful Me (as Reporter): Boo, when is the last time that you have taken a girl on a date to get to know her?
Boo: Uhhh, you, 2009.
Me: What are you serious? I was your last date? But I'm assuming this hasn't affected you meeting women...
Boo: Not at all.
Men are still getting exactly what they want...Date or no date. And where are women? Well, the ones who stand up for what is right, are out of luck.... [of course in the fairy tale, they wait patiently and then "the one" asks them out and it works happily ever after] The ones who go to their house and hangout...well they get something, too.... just not a date.
Can we change men's behavior? LOL my only advice, is in the words of Tracey Jordan from 30 Rock, "Stop eating french fries out of the trash, have some respect pigeon, don't you know you can fly?"
LOL, let me paraphase, Have some respect women, don't you know that we deserve better and if we all demand it, we will get it. (lets form a union).
