Something that Cliff's comment's made me think of, a big part of it is we are becoming more one culture, instead of many different ones. There's a few dominant styles, but you really can't tie it to just one race or culture. There's preppy white, black, asian, etc kids. Gangster white, black, asian, etc kids. I think that may be part of it, there's less of a distinction between the races nowadays, which I see as a good thing.

As for the women thing, I disagree on the career issue. You just have to find somebody that is looking for a relationship, and is willing to make the time for one. It seems like as women get older and more mature they realize that the jackasses aren't going to change, and that happiness isn't dating an Abercrombie model. Maybe in some parts of the country that maturity takes longer, in Kansas marriage and family is still a pretty big deal, so by 23-25 or so they start looking for somebody to make a life with, as opposed to impressing their friends and partying. Maybe some of you guys need to make a little recruiting trip to the center of the country?
