I think you do see the materialistic, it's all about me, attitude more in the under 30 crowd. I notice that women in their teens to mid-twenties talk more about finding a man to support them so they don't have to work, than women in their mid-thirties and up. Now maybe that's because the later are more stable in all respects and therefore don't need or want to be 'taken care of'. Maybe it's a question of maturity, though I wasn't like that when I was younger, but my upbringing really reinforced the concept of earning your own way. Anyway, whatever is responsible, it's unfortunate. I raised my daughter the same way I was raised and she thinks it's appalling how many of the girls she knows are just looking to 'live off of a guy'. I don't understand how anyone could think like that personally.
Andrae, I think Chi's suggestion is great. I also think that if you just focus on you, everything else will fall into place when it's supposed to. The best things in my life happened to me when I wasn't looking for them, or expecting them. Of course you could just say to hell with your generation and find a nice cougar... we seem to have a really good supply of those here.
