Nah, I disagree.
Call me cynical but the sole reason why you have this perception that relationships are less stable now is because people are no longer either legally or socially obligated to commit into relationships they're unhappy with.
It's always been like this, it's just that a significant amount of "happy, long-lasting" relationships from the past were pure and simple façades.

@Elessar From a relationship angle you are right. But her question was more about is womens lib killing the desire for men to open a door for a lady....pull out a chair...pay a dinner tab for both. And in that regard the answer to that question is absolutely YES. I know girls so lib that they look like you like ur a freak if you show them simple courtesy. After a bit....the attititude hits most guys if you want to act like ur the man here.....then open the door for me.

@daisymay Gosh i bet you think that was witty. But as far as sexual failures goes......you dont even know what sex you are? But you think you're the expert on sexual winners and losers? 😆 🤣 😂 Thats funny.

@anythingoes477 actually , the post was really about 'traditional relationshipal role play'. Not so much about feminism.
And resorting to insulting someone based on gender, is the same as insulting someone based on age or ethnicity.
Opening a door for someone is a courtesy reguardless of gender.
You do it becoz its considerate.
If i hated every man who made me feel stupid for opening the door for them, id stop doing it.
But i don't .
Because its in my personality to be considerate .
Others feminist views shouldn't define your own character .

Honestly I couldn't care less about any of that, and "paying for both" is one of those stupid gender-role stereotypes that I couldn't be happier if it's really dying off.
Tell me where you read anything about courtesy / gender roles
the desire for men to open a door for a lady
You open a door for them as a gesture of courtesy, I do because I don't want their greasy fingerprints on the body (or even worse, the window) of my car. We're not the same 😜Honestly I couldn't care less about any of that, and "paying for both" is one of those stupid gender-role stereotypes that I couldn't be happier if it's really dying off.
girls so lib
