We’ve considered before the dangers of dating here, here, and here. Thanks to Sigmund, Carl & Alfred Jan 19 (and Mamacita) for pointing to this clip on the awfulness of dating: (be patient – it loads slowly).

There is so much packed into that little honesty vignette. “You’re going to fall in love with me, because I want nothing to do with you.” brilliant

How funny! How sad!
See if you think this was the pattern:
Woman: was most concerned about what others would think
Man: was most concerned about being exploited by the woman
Also — this loaded really quickly for me –
swivelchair – Interesting; I can see that. Does this capture gender dynamics in your view?
Sheesh, DrS -
For middle class suburbia, where people are mobile, and status is apparent by what is visible, there is a real problem. If no one knows how great you are, you need to probably treat people like that — because your “significant” other is “significant” in part for the status they impart to you.
Where society is more stable — say your family lives in one place for generations, and families know other families — all the superficial fluff probably doesn’t matter.
So maybe you should marry a relative.
