"Flaky" friends

[Sketcher]

I think you could be right, about it being regional. There is so much to do, with the university, and then the city is big, also. I think, maybe, age is also a part of it.

None of my guy friends here, have ever flaked, on our plans. You might be on to something, yes. They might be more polite, in a way. I think, maybe girls, they are more flaky, especially if the alternative plans involve being with guys they like.

Thank-you, all for the responses. You were all nice.

Seems to be consistent with what I've found. I think it's the way many women are raised.

Really I don't think think this sort of thing can be distilled into a cultural thing, I think it's a personality issue. Unfortunately I think you've connected with some folks who have flaky personalities. I've dated a woman or two who were like that, but not all of them are. Sometimes it has to do with selfishness, sometimes it has to do with the fact that people weren't raise with the value that one should honor their commitments to others.

It's a really sad thing, but younger generations continually are not taught values that tell them to consider other people. Only "do what makes you happy". I think there are a lot of aspects of our culture that send that message and it's rubbish.
