(110,159 posts)yes it is, but, you do not see it changing in the media. and i do not see it changing in my teen boys life. it is sad. i was surprised after almost two decades since i was in the pick up world that it has not changed more. but, it has not.
i did a thread at the end of the old du2. about the man always paying. i had hands down, more from both genders still embracing that practice. abhorred the idea of changing the roles.
yes, i think it will be a good thing when more and more girls are taking the step in being the one to approach, also.
my son has shifted what he does. he gives the girl his number, and she gets to decide on calling or not. i am not sure why he choose that, but works for him, and i kinda like seeing it.
girls have to, need to, get comfortable in that role without the label of a "fast" girl or whatever.
maybe when they get past their teens it mixes up more. i do not know. i will ask my nieces who are 20 and 24, but, i think i see the same thing with them. they wait for the guy to approach.
