Dating in 2010
Today’s dating scene in the is totally different from how it was decades ago. Back then, signs of courtship and chivalry were very visual and existent. Nowadays, it seems like finding a man with those beneficial traits is few and far in between.With the steady rise of the “independent woman” and the “pimp-tight man,” more and more relationships are strained. With close to half of marriages ending in divorce, many people wonder, “What’s the point of getting into a serious relationship?” Boys vs. girls. Men vs. Women. Mars vs. Venus. This tug-of-war among the opposite sexes will never go away, but instead of trying to destroy the battle, how about trying to win the war?
I know a lot of males are confused as to what females want. Likewise, women are torn as to why males act the way they act. We’re going to enlighten our readers on the current logic and thinking of a few males to let some of the women know how some young men feel about certain things related to relationships as of 2010.
Keep in mind that these are just the thoughts of a few males, so don’t judge all males based on the perceptions of our participants. Ladies, just be weary of getting yourself into a predicament that causes you to have unnecessary stress. Vice-versa to the males as well!
Question: What do you believe dating is now in 2010?
Garry Maddox
“Dating is suppose to be when you go out with a person because of you're interest in them, to see if they’re right for your life, and to see if they’re meant to be your soulmate. You’re suppose to date to find out who is best for you. A lot of people these days go on dates just to get a piece of ass. That is not how it’s suppose to be, but now most people just go on a date and treat it as a one night stand. That is what it is now. It’s more of a one night stand. It’s not about trying to get to know a person now and seeing if they’re meant to be in your life, but more like a one night stand. Dating now is based on the three F’s: Find them, fuck them, and forget them!” Brandon Harden
"Dating is some bullshit these days. It’s not how it use to be. Back in the day, a date was dinner and a movie or walking downtown. That rarely happens now because males don’t want to be seen creeping and females only want you for how much money you got or they think it’s too good to be true.” John Awokoya
“Dating to me is a social appointment, activity, engagement, or occasion arranged beforehand with another person! That includes stuff like going out to eat at a restaurant, bowling, movies, etc. It’s what we do when we are trying to get to know someone and possibly pursue a relationship with that person.”Dallas Joseph, III
“Dating in 2010 is straight to the point at first. It’s a “we smashing or not” introduction and whether the people enjoy the sex determines if the next step of actually having real progress towards a relationship happens. It is all in reverse of the "old" days where the order was dating then marriage then sex and then kids. Now, it is sex then kids then date and maybe marriage. Many females keep looking for the dudes that they watch on TV because they believe that those men are how a man is suppose to look like and act. Females wonder where the good dudes at but they keep looking in the same places and same type of environments. If you want different results then do something different. We got an identity crisis going down now.” Mark Franklin
“Dating today is simple but complicated. Today’s generation has turned dating into a hobby-like extracurricular activity and has forgotten about the meaning and outcome. DATING IS AMONST DEAD! This generation has substituted dating with words such as “kickin’ it,” “coolin,” or “I fuck wit her or him the long way,” making room for more sex and less getting to know a person. In my opinion, dating is on the endangered list. Back in the day when our parents and grandparents dated, it was referred to as courting that turned into a relationship then marriage and then sex. Today, sex is first, dating is second or third then you BREAK UP. To put the question into two parts, dating is the interaction between two people who are looking to get to know one another better. Without commitments or promises, either or both parties can be casually dating others. The purpose is to determine what kind, if any, relationship will blossom now. Dating in 2010 is hooking up for the purpose of sex, ego, to “kick it,” and to have a “friend” on your By: Eddie “Dr. Philosophy” Yancey, III
