Is this how the younger generation carry on these days? No sense of chivalry, courtship and romance but straight down to brass tacks?
I completely agree. While we grew up in a generation that treated dating like fine dining - romance, anticipation, courtship, the art of the kiss, it seems that the present generation treats all of it like a trip to McDonalds - fast, lukewarm, industrial, and tasteless.

On the youngsters dating shows though, I am completely at a loss with what some of these lads thinks girls will like, but in all fairness, some of the girls take the biscuit too.
Makes me feel about 90!
Mups, Why would you feel 90? I don’t understand? Why shouldn’t single people of our age enjoy dates?
Life doesn’t stop at a certain age, does it?

I don't understand Art Where did I say our age group shouldn't enjoy dating?

In fact I did ask at the end of the first post, what we would enjoy on a date.

Judd, Do you not think it is all exaggerated to get an audience?
People won’t watch if it’s normal and boring, therefore, the producers go all out for the ‘shock factor’!

Mups, You have stated on other threads that you would not go on a dating site! so I presumed you wouldn’t go on a date either. Or would you?

Re: First dates

Ah well, you shouldn't presume anything.
Just because I wouldn't go on a dating site, doesn't mean I think people our age shoudln't date.

I wouldn't know, I haven't seen a full episode but it wouldn't surprise me. After having a dating show where everyone is stripped off I suppose they have to compete somehow and being obnoxious must fit the bill.
