The hook-up culture
I knew things changed a lot since I was in the dating scene but I had no idea how much. This is surely the headline of the day. "Market for Romance Goes From Bullish to Sheepish".
Romance is truly dead.

"It's been incredibly stressful for me," said Neil Welsh, 27, the guy in the suit, who until last year was marketing director for a booming real estate company. "I was so used to using my financial situation to leverage my dating."Leverage his dating? It sounds more like a hedge fund transaction than a relationship. As Phila explained, "What he means is that he used best practices to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of his strategic plan to offer world-class, customer-centric interactions with female stakeholders."

Female "stakeholders"? You mean, like Buffy?

LOL. Something like that. If you read the article, some of those women sure sound like social vampires to me.

Yeah. If romance is dead, it was women like this that killed it. Why not just become call-girls and make an actual career of it?
The guys are pathetic dweebs, too. Without their parasitic jobs, they really are nothing.
This is what happens when you dress little kids in designer jeans, and they go to the mall instead of the park to play.

I find it sad. Small wonder young people are so jaded at such an early age. My youthful idealism was one of the happiest stages of my life.

WHAT? People should have their tongues cut out for talking like that. Next thing you know, the teachers will be calling it "standard English."
Maybe Rolex Ronald and Beemer Bob and all the other Zima drinking MBA-holes will have to rely on substance now that they can't afford tawdry tokens and life-style coaches -- and of course they have no other way to interest the ladies than with cheesy, singles bar semiotics.
Do we need such people and their wretched offspring anyway? Let them drink Budweiser and resort to "hey baby, what's your sign?"
LOL Fogg. You and Phila are kindred souls. His command of the language is as good as yours. You, of course, are much more poetic though.
