The "standard"

Recently found myself browsing the Sydney Morning Herald for work purposes.

Then, something caught my eye.

The casual sex dilemma
February 3, 2010

Is the zipless romp the problem or the solution in the search for true love, Sam Brett asks.

This piqued my interest because last month's Australian encounter made me wonder about the Australian dating culture. The so-called expert quoted in the article says "women should set the standards and the men will co-operate."

So, the author decided to not have casual sex for 30 days. Apparently her solution to finding true love. A whole month without casual sex. Must be a real sacrifice for those of the generation. But I think that's s'posed to be some kind of test to see if that's the problem. I think.

Journalism, as well, has apparently evolved into a very odd creature indeed. We should just stick to the funnies.

What are you waiting for?
You.

That's the standard we should be setting.
