Why was true love very real in the old days?

Well it is real fact that real true love was very real in the old day since they just had a couple on TV that just celebrated their 81st year together. Then again, many marriages did survive in those days and most men and women were very committed to one another as well. And today unfortunately most women are the biggest cheaters of them all since they love sleeping around with all different kinds of men all the time. And i just saw an article that 69 percent of divorces are caused by the women which is the real reason why most marriages fail nowadays because of these very pathetic women cheating way more than men.

    In fact "Leave It to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" were actually documentaries about how life was for everyone in the 1950s, when the sun always shone, children were never more than a little naughty, and wives knew that their natural place was in the kitchen or wiping very slightly snotty noses of their adorable kids. Where the kids came from was something of a mystery, since married couples slept in twin beds, and physical contact was limited to the occasional peck on the cheek.

    A large reason why so many marriages back in the not-so-good old days lasted so long was because women had no option but to stick with the man they'd married, no matter how fricking boring he was, no matter how abusive he was, and no matter how many affairs he might have.

    I lived through some of those "good old days", and I can tell you they weren't all that fucking great.

    Many people believe that humans just weren't designed by evolution to be monogamous for 81 years, or even 20 years. Unless the two people are incredibly simpatico - or both have an incredibly high boredom threshold - it's extremely difficult to spend that long with someone and never wonder whether a change might be nice.

    Even so, the statistics show that more than half of US marriages last for at least 20 years, so maybe things aren't nearly as gloomy and women are not nearly as evil as you apparently want to believe.

      Said it all.

      "True love" is very rare and it always has been. Not everyone is lucky enough to meet their soulmate. Most people have just "settled down" (see we even have a phrase for it, you're settling) with someone who they might not be a perfect match with but they can tolerate their company. That's what a marriage is for most people, even if they don't want to admit it.

      The "breakdown of family values" that conservatives love bitching about is just people coming to the realisation of everything you just said in your post. Maybe we haven't found a viable alternative for a truly productive sustainable society yet, but that doesn't mean we should go back to the "good old times".

      My view exactly, and how I was going to respond. That whole "life was simpler" thing also hid some nastiness..Women were kept in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, had no say publicly, and failed if they didn't have the proverbial drink and dinner on the stove when the man got home. Wait, I meant..The white man got home. Minorities were rarely seen, and god forbid heard back then. Marriages lasted b/c women has no usable skills, having never been taught or shown anything but being a housewife.

      How many of those so-called "perfect marriages" also involved extensive abuse and the man's "business trips" where he loaded up on booze and hookers?

      Like the Billy Joel song line say "Cuz the good old days weren't always good, tomorrow aint as bad as it seems"..

    Most women are the biggest cheaters of them all? What article did you get that bullshit statement from?

  • Part of the reason people stayed married in the 'old days' is because women had virtually no rights, people had limited mobility to meet a more suitable mate, and there was a stigma against divorce that no longer exists. But it's much more complicated than that. People don't live or think the same way. This is the first time in thousands of years women have rights and options. Many women enter into marriage young, coming from traditional backgrounds, often under pressure from their families and communities and later realize it wasn't what they really wanted. Some people can address their discomfort and unhappiness directly with their partner, but not everyone has the tools to know how. This is not a woman problem, it's a symptom of a changing society and to pin it on women demonstrates a deep lack of understanding of the complexity of modern society and human relationships.

    Because women back in the day were brainwashed to think they should give up their life for a man and stay at home and be his caretaker and not complain while he goes out and achieves all his goals and dreams and does whatever he wants.. tsk tsk btw statistically men are mostly the narcissists and cheaters, your just bias probably from experience.

    Marriage was necessary to survive back then, and people weren't allowed to get divorced. Nowadays marriage is an outdated, pointless thing.

    I agree. Life was hard at times then, but was still less complex than today. Like I said in my other comment, people were better at putting up with difficulties, they had a less entitled attitude. People were not more unhappy back then. They were more conservative and made stricter rules for society to follow, but they were not less happy. They had more structures in their lives, and were more ok with that than most people today would be. Rules that were given to people back then that many people followed even if they didn't always like it, those same rules given today would just have many people ignoring them or sticking their middle finger right in your face. I do agree that to try to enforce those rules today would fail miserably, people today are too set in modern times. Those rules are definitely one of the things that made society so different back then, but the changes in society since then has pushed everything in a one-way direction that would be impossible now to reverse. Trying to reverse it would be beating a dead horse. Think about it, have you ever known anyone in more modern times who actually suceeded when trying to set more old fashioned rules and boundries? It won't happen. Boundaries having changed so much over the decades has not made people today happier though. If anything, people are definately more mad at the world today. People now have been molded to feel more entitled today through growing up in a more recent world, and it's easy for so many of them to say how miserable they would've been then with the old fashioned ways, and they're right, they would've been. But the people who were molded in much earlier times is another story. But people were not more miserable then. Women were not more miserable then. Many of them (but not all of them) were housewives, women in general had more delicate natures and softer attitudes, but they were often OK with that because that's how they were used to the world being. Women will not be OK with the 'settle and be housewives' idea today and will not be more gentle and more traditionally feminine today because they've grown up in, seen, and known a world where it's no longer like that. Back then, they'd never endured such a world. You can say the same thing about TV, cell phones, and the internet too. People lived without those things in the 1930s and 1940s and were OK with it because they never experienced a world with it all around. There is no way people today will suddenly be OK and deal with a world without those things in the same way now that they've spent time living in a world with them all.

    While I think society is losing most of its conservative values likec commitment to one partner, I can't take your post seriously as it seems to only attack women. Despite the fact several men have cheated and been unfaithful as well. Not that I'm saying either does it more but acting like men are incapable of cheating means you already lost this argument.

    Probably because civilization has changed over the years or because of social media.

    90 percent of the time the female files for divorse acording to the government . 69 percent of every marriage fails . its called monkey branching , they see another monkey in another tree and swing over to fuck his life up. His tree might be a bigger tree or his penis might be a little bit larger. LOL thats why i got a big tree and a big cock.
