To say that men have changed in the 21st century is an understatement. I love spending time with my 86 year old grandmother. I listen with envy as she tells stories of her single days; they sound nothing like mine! Her memories are colored with remnants of men paying the milk man in order to impress her, buying her grocceries and leaving them on her doorstep, and even giving her complete access to their bank accounts to use at her pleasure.
But really though, there is much conversation about how women have changed. But what about the way in which men have reduced their efforts in order to gain the approval or admiration of a woman? A few examples of modern day courting sound a little like this: "Hey what's up, why don't you meet me at the spot?" or "Can we go Dutch?" or my favorite, "I mean I was just sayin' why can't we just chill at your house?"
What happend to courting? What happend to showing a woman why you should become a part of her life? Where has the idea of impressing women gone? How did we loose you fellas? What did we loose you to? Money? Other men? Too much access to sex? The internet? What is it?
I really want to know...you have our complete attention...we are listening.
