Hasn't it always?
I mean, it used to be like this (we may be going back to it)

I hear that Craigslist is very popular dating site. ;-)
I refuse to internet date. So I guess it’s hopeless for me.
Internet dating is a no-go for me. It’s the live interaction that gets me interested, the computer is too sterile.
After the last one decided after her tiny lateral promotion that she was a higher social status now and needed a guy with a big bank account, real dating doesn’t even have much interest, much less computer dating.
If you happen to meet a single gal who seems really kind-hearted, down to earth, mellow, and polite, it means that she probably has a trainload of baggage to include destroyed credit, no money, a dead end job, and some a-hole's kids that she wants a sucker (you) to raise. It's usually safe to assume that she has a past that would make Paris Hilton blush.
In other words, if she's being really cool to you, it's probably because she has to be and is trying to rope you in. In our modern crap society's singles scene, true kindness and decency are relatively rare. Choose wisely.
Maybe I’m jaded or weird but these alleged changes seem mostly superficial to me.
You know someone writes an article about how dating has changed forever, about every ten years or so. The more it changes, the more it stays the same.
There were RULES? Who knew???
But nearly 38 years out of the dating market IS a long time...

I joined a dating sight three years ago for a year.
They contacted me about paying up again at the end of the first year and I said “no thanks”, they asked if it was OK to still set me up on dates and I said “absolutely”. Two years later and they cannot WAIT for me to break up with whatever gal I am going out with so they can “use me”.
For the first time in history, women outnumber men in the workforce. They outnumber men in college and have for over a decade. Thus employed educated women find themselves hunting for a shrinking pool of educated and employed men - and find they are getting less commitment for sex than ‘the market’ used to enjoy.
At Universities where men outnumber women - there are almost no out of wedlock births, women get married more often, dating is up, commitment is up; etc.
At Universities where women outnumber men - there are out of wedlock births, marriage is rare, dating is uncommon (hooking up instead), commitment is down; etc.
For myself I find that after a couple years of this free dating - I will ONLY date a gal who, after meeting me- was interested enough to contact the coordinators and say she wanted me. I mean why not start out with that?
But I am getting a bit jaded. If things are not going well I KNOW that if I dump her I will be dating another good looking professional interesting woman within the week!
And I have a great job, a good education, am 6'2” tall - but sheesh - I am a long winded nerd who tells the same tired jokes - and laughs at them! I shouldn't have it THIS easy!
