Dating: No ladies, it's not our job to shoot shots!

It's a dynamic world and things keep changing. What used to be a vibe no longer vibes. What made us tick stopped at that and the world, read women, became too 'woke' they no longer wait to be shot at. They are the shooters. Openly doing the hunting because? Si the dynamics of dating and finding a soul mate changed, and this is 2023? We don't do things the traditional way anymore and maybe, just maybe, this is the reason heartbreaks are the order of the day. We are so used to short-term situationship that we even want to celebrate one-week relationship anniversaries! Women have decided to hunt. Sigh.

Growing up, we wouldn't even be the first ones to greet boys. We would wait to be greeted. You know, there was the beauty of being noticed and greeted by a boy. I believe the male gender is genetically programmed to be initiators of relationships. It is masculine when Benjamin prowls around looking for the finest of the girls for himself. This whole awesome process has been around since the beginning of time. It's history. It's nature. It is, just the acceptable way of doing things. I am old school, you would say? Maybe, maybe not. But this whole thing sounds just like it - cool. To be wanted.
