I’m not big in the dating scene, but that’s actually how a lot of young people role in this day and age.

That’s because most young people don’t go on dates anymore. They just hook up.

The couple doesn’t start dating until after they have been hooking up for a while.

It’s totally messed up.

What does that have to do with dating or interaction with women your not related too?

You talked about treating other women like they were your mothers, sisters, and daughters.

I’m saying a lot of mothers and sisters and daughters don’t like being treated differently than if they were men either.

Exactly. Just treat people like you should treat people.

I mean, it’s almost like there’s a Golden Rule for that or something.

Have you personally witnessed this, or are you just flinging ad hominems?
 
It’s not really an ad hominem and it is something that the media portrays a lot.

The media is a really terrible example of what young people are actually doing.

And? A lot of shows also portray Millennials as having four-bedroom apartments and rarely going to work. TV doesn’t always reflect reality, believe it or not.

Your point was that it’s not an ad hominem because “it’s on TV, so it must be so.”

Hmm. I was the oldest of 5. Sure there were somethings that my sisters wanted to do that we boys did. But there were plenty of other things that I did with my brothers that would have been WRONG to do with my sisters.
  1. my brothers and I got in many fights (sometimes with each other and sometimes to defend each other against other boys) should I have hit my sisters just so they could feel I treated them the same way as my brothers?
  2. when playing sports, should we have slapped the girls on their butts has hard as we could, like guys did to other guys?
  3. should the boys do “cup checks” to girls like lots of guys often did to oneother on the baseball field?
  4. should we give the girls wet willies?
  5. should we have had peeing races with our sisters to see who could pee the longest?
These are just a fraction of what boys do, esp when unchaperoned.

If mothers actually knew 1/2 of what boys do, they wouldn’t allow their daughters to date until they were 35.

I second the fact that it’s long overdue. I wish a few organizations that I worked with had their own equivalent of “MeToo” because there are many, many incidents that took place in several organizations that I was working at.

Of course I witnessed it. I experienced it.

It started when I was in college. 5 years of college, I went on just one real date (besides fraternity & sorority date parties & formals, which are the furthest thing from a real date). And that was the 1995 to 2000.

Then, I had 4 younger siblings. I saw everything with them too. My brothers both married girls that they had casual hook ups with first.

I was the tail end of Generation X. My sisters are older millennials (esp my 29 year old sister, who’s the youngest).

Cellphones made dating more “obsolete” due to texting. Then, social media & smartphones made dating even more “obsolete.”

There is a documentary called “The Dating Project” that has received rave reviews in Secular, Catholic and Protestant circles. It was actually co produced by Catholic and Protestant film ministries. I havent seen the whole thing yet, but I’ve heard it’s very accurate https://www.thedatingprojectmovie.com
 
It doesn’t hurt when a man opens the door,lets you walk on the inside of the street,pulls your chair.,or offers to carry that heavy bag…at all.
It doesn’t take or add to who we are,nor do we need to prove we can open a door.
It is a gesture of coutesy_

No,I do not think so…It is a time many of us lived,and will keep living…it is how we were brought up and smoothly men and women.
It wasn t any sort of a danger zone,and it probably isn’t for very many .
Thanks for caring,Osculetur. That was kind of you
