Now, going around looking unapproachable will certainly reduce male attention by that amount… 86Anacaona April 16, 2013 at 1:00 am @Richard Different times. You guys had less time to be single and engage on easy 5s. Now a guy doesn’t need to commit because there is no social pressure and there are a lot of easy ones telegraphing around. Men only make the effort they have to. If the easy ones are so easy to stop there is not incentive to look further except their nature, YMMV. 87Stickwick April 16, 2013 at 1:37 am @ Richard: At a fraternity reunion about ten years ago of the classes of that era, I found about eighty percent of the guys married to the women they’d gone with in college. Well, there you have it. I met my husband my last year of university. The lonely years of chastity were worth it. We’ll be together ’til death do us part. 88Richard Aubrey April 16, 2013 at 7:38 am Marellus, Used to be the Brit guys looked like the men in the old Gibson Girl illustrations. Now…Mick Jagger and Ringo Starr, as somebody said. Well, if you have a million young men dead and a goodly fraction of that number mutilated or crippled into social and economic uselessness, some of the steam goes out of things. There’s a youtube video with the boys’ choir Libera doing “Be Still My Soul” with pix of the Brits in WW II. Look like good guys. Half a million gone. 89VJ April 16, 2013 at 8:40 am Well while monitoring the horrific news from Boston, I did what evidently no one else did and actually read all the comments. Especially on David L’s article, cited above. On the SWUG’s and David L’s yes Beta like inquiries? This is how one fellow female student replied (it’s just the end bit): “”The simple algorithm is this: we hook up with the guys we are attracted to but who are not nice/good guys, and we are friends with the guys who are nice/good guys whom we are not attracted to. When there is a man who is a nice/good guy AND we are attracted to him, then we want a boyfriend”. [dbe222]
