34. Old attitudes die hard. We are no longer in the 1950's, there's no social dance that needs to be played

Back then, if a woman wanted to have sex - or even just a swell old 2nd base or 3rd base sort of time, but didn't want to be thought of as being too loose, she used to flirt and tease until she got the situation to where she wanted.
It was a dance. Unfortunately, later, the game got really twisted and an increasing number of man-boys could't be trusted.
Sucks, but man-boys who can't respect or think of anything but their (honk-honk) are pretty much responsible for the death of flirting and mutual fun.
