A thought about dynamic relationship Interchangibility

Catchy title huh? Darn tooting it is.

People always tell me I have a penchant for catching the pecuilar. No, that's not a STD joke, but I always look at things different then people.

I guess you could say I'm weird like that.

Either way, I've been noticing something lately that has beginning to irk me.

You know that saying, "Nice guys finish last"? Well for the longest time I thought that had only one meaning: that the jerky jock would always rule the day.

But maybe there's more to it. It seems to me that gentlemen are suckers. Every. Time.

Think about it. You go on a date and its up the guy to do everything from getting creative with the entertainment to bank rolling the whole affair.

That's fine for all intent and purpose. But when does it change? How many times have the men of this world found themselves always paying for everything in a relationship past the opening courtship?

These aren't the 20s 30s or 50s. Women work just as hard as men do so why then has the culture of a man doing all the supporting not changed with all this newfound womens independence?

Sure some of the answers could be childish and obvious, but I'm looking deeper here. Have we always been blind to this or do most nice guys just not care?
