I see that in my kids as well. My 19 year old son has a gf for a bit, but she expected too much of him (i.e. wanted him to get off his video games and pay attention to her), so he broke it off realizing he only wanted the hook ups without the responsibility of actually being in a relationship.

My other son who is 21 still thinks he wants a relationship, but we'll see once he actually finds one.

My 25 year old daughter "hates" men and doesn't date much.

My 27 year old daughter got married and had 2 babies young and her now estranged husband is a terrible husband and father, so that's done very little to help any of my children's views about marriage and child rearing.

I think the 2 grandchildren I have might be the only 2 I ever have, but we'll see.

I think the relationship problems with men holding all the power have been talked about for generations, but only recently have women had the ability to care for themselves and opt out of the dating pool all together.

Men will eventually catch up and hopefully we'll all work to be the partner we want, which will make for much healthier relationships in general, but there will definitely be some growing pains - especially for the men, because women have already been forced to do the work.
