I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

[c=#7700B2]feminists will hate me for this but I wish relationships were kinda like the old days.. you get married, have a faithful hard working husband who provides while the wife stays at home looking after the kids and cooking and whatever..

lol I say that but I would never allow myself to rely on someone financially like that but its a nice thought.
I love playing with kids and enjoy cooking.. It all seems so much less stressful compared to these days..

ahh the thought is nice at least[/c]

Everything is good when things are just as pure and simple.

@Marshmallow: It was never "pure and simple." There was no "golden age."

True, complications exist at every age. But in this age, we gave solved problems only added to the complications, thus things were simpler in an earlier age.@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA:

@JoanieNewHampshire: Things were not "simpler" in the past, just different.

@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA: and that different was relatively simpler. Ignorance is bliss. Not bright but simply bliss. What things we know want desire fear have expanded exponentially. Yes different were the things we dealt with. But also simpler. You thought you knew your threat. You thought you knew what you needed. You thought everything was going to be the same and you thought if you followed the right path it would be best. We even thought the path was simple.
I think people don't see the relitivity between simple then and diffecult today.

@JoanieNewHampshire: That has more to do with childhood than any fundamental changes in society. Things are simpler when you're a child no matter what era you grow up in. Many people consider the "golden age" to be when they were teenagers - old enough to have fun on their own, but not old enough to have much of an idea of how complicated the world really is.

Not going to disagree! Each of us interprets our word in the innocence of our childhood. Doesn't make it wrong. In fact I would argue the eyes of a child sees the world as it could be.@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA:
