Love was a lot different in my day. People took it more seriously. A person’s word, meant something, too.

Or they just didnt have all these ways of getting caught.
@Loco8912 People had more integrity and morals.

@LadyGrace so you think. I know plenty of older people who admit to cheating and never being caught.
@Loco8912 No doubt. And there were plenty who didn’t, as well. I’m strictly conveying my experience and the world as I knew it, growing up.

@LadyGrace yes the world as you knew it. Im just clarifing that it still did happen like it does today, just people then werent so obvious about it and they didn't have all of the ways to get caught like we have now.
@Loco8912 I’m not naive. I’d like to just reminisce for a moment on the positive experiences. The negative is obvious. At least they weren’t so brazen as to brag about it, flaunt it, and outright throw themselves at people. There’s no shame or respect in this day and age.
@Loco8912 I disagree. I was there. There wasn’t near the promiscuity as there is today. Girls didn’t come right out and let men know they were up for anything. There were only a couple what were labeled “bad girls” in our school. Those things were a great disgrace in my day, and that’s not being old-fashioned. Being and acting like a real lady was highly sought and respected. People had high morals. As it should be. Hardly anyone has respect about them these days. It has brought America down.

@LadyGrace and i know plenty of people who were there as well and they paint all paint a different picture than you. Just because you didn't experience it doesn't mean it wasn't there. And as i've said they weren't as obvious about it. And also there weren't camera phones and all of these social media sites so if you weren't around it of course you wouldn't see it.
@Loco8912 I didn’t say that. I know it was out there. No, they weren’t as obvious about it. It was really looked down on.

@LadyGrace than i apologize, that is how it came off. It really just comes down to what you choose to focus on. I see so many loving relationships all the time. So many people who aren't throwing themselves at each other or dressing slutty. These people are every where. I see them more than i do the slutty people. But i am also selective about what i watch on tv or the environments i put myself in. T.v. glorifies it because they want to do the next shocking thing for views. People still do look down on it. The people who do that stuff just don't care how they are viewed.
No apology necessary. You said nothing wrong. It was the truth. I love what you’ve said here, and your observations. I wholeheartedly agree. It’s all in how people want to look at things. I do the same as you. I’m very selective. TV glorifies sex in commercials, because they know sex sells the product. Pretty disgusting, if you ask me. This is what America has come to. And why it has fallen. @Loco8912

@LadyGrace it just happens slowly with each generation. All we can do is try our best to make sure the kids in our families don't go down that path.
@Loco8912 Well spoken. I couldn’t agree more.
