I wanted to post this here in order to get feedback from both genders.
I've been thinking about dating and after an informal survey, was wondering if in this post-feminist world the art of romance is dead.

I have talked to woman who are dating older men, that is men in their late 50's and up, and there is a decided difference in their approach to relationships. There's candlelight, spontaneous romantic gestures (coming over with all the fixings for a romantic dinner) and thoughtful gifts for no reason.

For my other friends dating men under 45, its like everything is 50/50 and they bemoan not feeling special. The feeling that they are being taken for granted happens rapidly once they've had sex.

In this age of accessible birth control and the expectation of premarital sex, has the idea of courting a woman gone out the window? Has the quest for equality resulted in women no longer being seen as worthy of real effort by men raised in a post-feminist society?

Just wondering.
