I decided at age 16 to opt out of "dating." To my mind, "dating" is about men spending money on women in hopes of getting laid. It isn't a great courtship model (courtship is the correct term for the lengthy process of establishing a serious, committed, long term relationship). Our dating practices are rooted in a culture where men make money, women are primarily wives and moms. This is no longer true, so it should be no surprise that dating is having a crisis. Though it is sad to read about how victimized the women in the article feel. |

Real romance does happen, I have experienced it. Not everything revolves around money, especially when you are younger. In terms of getting laid, women actually dont really care about money, unless they are using sex to get a relationship. They want to sleep with a hot guy that they emotionally connect with for short term sex. The emotional and personal connection is actually sometimes the most important, confidence matters.

Generally its actually the opposite, women are not the victims. A large proportion of average men are not able to sleep with or date women of their same ranking until those women hit their late twenties. 80% of women are chasing the top 20% of men, with the rest of men occasionally "getting lucky".
