The Host of 'Tough Love Couples' Gives Us Scary Dating Advice {Lemondrop}

Nov 17th 2010 7:43PM Wow! What a stick in the mud. You do make some valid points. You shouldn't have to be in an intolerable environment, especially for something as important to most world cultures as food. However, I don't think Steve was suggesting 1950s style accomodation. Maybe it would have been better said to be a little flexible and get to know someone and vice-versa. If someone knows that you are a vegetarian and invites you to a steakhouse, it is disrespectful. I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with suggesting an alternative that meets both needs, that is a better form of accomodation.

Good points wrapped up in angry faux feminist rant. It's the big picture of how you deal with people you date! Clearly, Steve doesn't know everything, but I don't think he is an anachronistic neantherdal with dating advice from the 1950s. You don't have to wear a skirt, but there is nothing wrong with it either.
