It’s a new environment for gender relations but I care less (if at all) about dating aspects than cultural or humanist aspects.

@rainmanjr I understand and respect that, but the dating game is central to my focus, as I miss having a partner and overall have had way more positive experiences with women, both in friendships and my one long term relationship, than most men have had with relationships, both with partners and female friends.

@TomMcGiverin it’s not central to mine so doesn’t address my comment.

@rainmanjr I care about both aspects, while you only care about cultural and humanist aspects, not the dating game. There, does that satisfy you? Why be so argumentative? Jessh, how demanding....

I think men had become conditioned to relate poorly since WWII, at least, but it's been improving since women pointed out some less than attractive features. In the 1990's many of us attended Men's Groups and became much more aware of ourselves, our responsibilities, and our roles as men. I see a great deal of growth but I think humans, of both genders, are their own worst enemy. I believe we both still operate from the primitive, instinctual, brain and there's no more time for doing better. We're done because everyone was so damned smart.

I like what I learn from Chris (video) and appreciate that he's brave enough to explore men's issues but likely close to ending my part in making people aware of them. There are many other areas, including legal and financial, where men have credible issues but I'm tired of carrying torches. Especially for a society I might care nothing about after next month.

@rainmanjr Yep, next month is a pivot point for the United States.
