well, there's so many cynics because of bad experiences. there are less and less good people in the world it seems like, or at least marriage material persons. it isn't the 1950's anymore when most every girl you would meet would be a sweet virgin who wanted nothing more than to cook for you and make babies...that is when she wasn't at church. i have a friend that complains constantly about guys not taking her seriously, and there is no good guys, and guys are assholes that don't respect girls. i'm like, uh, dude, you've been with over 50 guys. what makes you think you DESERVE respect? respect is not just given, it has to be earned. everybody wants to be treated like a princess...but i'm sorry darlin' you aren't a princess
