[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The culture has definitely changed! I’m 53 and when I was in my early 20’s there was no hook up culture that I was aware of so generally you dated someone for awhile before you slept with them. I’ve now been single for two years and the world has changed. The women I’ve dated are in their 40’s and if you meet them for coffee and there is a connection, the second time you get together sex is almost always available usually initiated by them. I don’t believe they were like this when they were in their 20’s (or I just never met them!) so something has changed. [/quote]

I'm your age and, yes, college age kids met up at bars, frat parties, house parties all the time.  Sometimes the guy would just walk the girl home, get her number and they would go out on a date but sometimes there was some heavy making out (or more) going on before phone numbers were even exchanged.

The 80's/90's were all about going to Georgetown, dancing, drinking, listening to music.  Yep, hookups were happening even back in the day.[/quote]

LOL  :roll: please I am 52. People “hooked” up all the time. I seriously doubt anything has changed but the way in which people meet(phones).[/quote]

eh, I think that "meeting" someone on your phone is a whole lot different than meeting them in person.  I'm sure there are pros and cons to both approaches - when you meet a guy at a party there is likely physical chemistry between you and you get to know each other when you talk with each other.  When you see a picture of a guy along with his profile "application" you have a rundown of his stated occupation, likes, height, weight, eye color, marital status (single never married, single divorced, single widower, single separated).  If all the boxes checked look promising then you can meet up and see if their is chemistry between you.

The whole online approach (let me review your portfolio, sir, and I will text you to schedule a meeting) seems very....forced and not too fun.  [/quote]

Exactly. Actual attraction has more to do with checking boxes. Yes, I typically find tall, blondish guys attractive, but have certainly met other kinds of men IRL that also caught my attention. And, of course, have met tall, blondish men that I’m *not* attracted to. Interaction is the best indicator of actual attraction. [/quote]
