Women do you think society unconsciously is transforming men and women into lives of loneliness ?

Question

What i mean by this is women can not ask guys out cause fools put her down as a w***e, and guys can sometimes not approach women cause similar people say 'ohh my hes a guy hes only after one thing'. And then low and behold beautiful women and handsome men end up lonely, through fear of being labelled by morons, who seem to be think they are more educated and qualified to state what a human being should be. Ive seen this situation so many times its untrue, all this liberation that modern society talks about i think in this particular area is a myth if you ask me, i know so many singles both male and female good people to, that its a joke!

Whats your views people id like to hear what you think. Thanks.

Answer 1

Society cannot be unconscious.

Good people, too.

Why do you care what 'People' think?

Of course a woman can ask out a man.

Handsome is as handsome does and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The desire to meet members of the opposite s*x is natural. The motive is indeed to mate. Some want to mate for life.

Answer 2

Our culture is shaped by the media, and the media does promote isolation, selfishness, materialism, greed, and so on. The media is expert at selling products and services that don't fill a real need, they sell things that appear to fill needs. If you were to fill needs, you wouldn't have ravinous repeat customers.

By no means a female but I can say that I am almost afraid to date because of the attitudes so many females have these days. If it isn't the "only out for one thing" no matter what the thing may be, it is the she-yobs who have given a few of me mates nothing but nightmares.

Sadly being in the field of psychology, I find much reason to  agree with Skeptic's observation that tele, radio, and print media (especially adverts) that shape the attitudes and emerging social expectations and customs of the entire Western World. Adverts focus on selling the bill of glamour and worldly goods and are robbing the lot of us (at younger persons of the right to cherish personal uniqueness and intrinsic value apart from external things.

Consider bling as an example: If one can't afford quality adornment, buy cheap shiny things. Never mind good taste, just put on the show, no matter what.

Until fate or fortune brings someone who is genuinely interested in me as a human across my path I intend to remain happily single.

Answer 4

I think you are right, but people just have to rise above it and get on with their lives without constantly wondering what others will think of them for it.  Ask her out, mate!
