And how/what does each gender try to hide during the dating phase?
Mike T, can you elaborate? My ex acted much more passive and supportive than she turned out to be.

Clever_Cat asked:


I’m a regular in the Singles and Dating section on here as well as the Marriage and Divorce section, and I am constantly apppalled at what I see. There are so many young girls on there that feel a man has every right to control them. What do you think our society is doing to perpetuate this? And does everyone else see it as a big a problem as I do?

In the article “Dating violence prevalent among students”
30 percent of U.S. college students have been in relationships that involve physical aggression, a U.S. expert said. “Even more have been in relationships that are emotionally abusive,” Sandra Stith, director of the marriage and family therapy program at Kansas State University, said in a statement. “Likewise, approximately 25 percent of high school students who are in relationships are subjected to abuse.”

I found more information about the study at the the college web site: “K-State domestic violence expert looks at dating violence among high school, college students
http://www.humec.ksu.edu/news/2007/09/13/k-state-domestic-violence-expert-looks-at-dating-violence-among-high-school-college-students/

This article pointed out that both female and male — are being battered, sexually abused or stalked by their dates, according to the Kansas State University professor Stith.

Not which one is worse, which one is easier to spot during dating?

Stale White Male asked:


My son is turning 18 soon and has recently begun dating. However his first girlfriend has very small breasts, probably an A-cup. Now god bless his heart, he loves her ever so much, but I’d like to set a firm precedent to avoid future heartbreak.

I wouldn’t want him to be ridiculed by his friends and classmates for ‘going out with a flatty’ as I would have been back in my younger years. Unendowed females are also generally emotionally unstable due to low self-esteem (I don’t want a teenage drama queen on my son’s hands!)

My biggest worry is that many years down the line, their female children would be ‘flat chicks’ as well. I’d like my son to be a spittin’ image of his old man, and to help him avoid some obvious mistakes.

Should I forbid him from dating her or let him figure it out for himself over time?
