Almost all of the old-timers (like myself) can’t help comparing the current male-female relationships of the modern young with those we experienced growing up in more restrictive times and places.
Two young men who work as waiters always seemed to come in on their off hours with beautiful young women hanging on them-and the women seemed to change on a regular basis. One night when they were working, it happened that both were waiting at the end of the bar while the bartender prepared the drinks for their tables. The following conversation took place
Old Timer #1 “You young guys don’t appreciate how good you have it. In our day we had to work for months to get a girl to the point where I know you guys are getting them almost right away.”
Old Timer #2 “Yes and some of us had to actually marry them!”
After the laughter ended, it was obvious that the two young men had given the matter some thought.
Young Man #1 “We wish it was that way now. At least you had something lasting. "
Young Man #2 “Yeah, there was loyalty”.
The drink orders filled , they left for their customers table—leaving behind several newly respectful people.
