It was hella easier to pick up a date for the weekend back in those days. People were more trusting I think? Girls didn't want commitment anymore than the guys did, just a girl and guy out for some companionship. You could pick up a girl at the burger joint, roller rink, or sometimes just the grocery store and hang out with them for a while, go to a movie or the local carnival or something. I think people were more real back then. Things were simpler. You had to call somebody on the phone if you wanted to talk to them. No internet. You had to buy a magazine or join a club for the hobby you were interested in if you wanted to find out more. You had to interact with others and build community. And looking back at the summer of '77, you had all of the '80s to look forward to

And looking back at the summer of '77, you had all of the '80s to look forward to I don’t know what state you lived in Rufus but it wasn’t Kentucky. Girls definitely wanted commitment there for the most part. I’ve been out of the game for awhile but it seems the girls these days are more like the guys, wanting casual hookups. But your right the 70’s were great. I guess we sound like old farts talking about the good old days. Haha

Hmm. I can't figure why you didn't land the girls? Did you wear a red/white/blue tank top with high cut shorts with piping and knee high stripe socks? Best pair of AAU Sneakers? Drive a bronze T-top Firebird (or custom van with porthole windows) with chain steering wheel and 8 track? Plenty of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and Blood, Sweat and Tears? Or in Kentucky, Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, and Charlie Pride? Did you say "keep on truckin'", call people a "turkey" and say "dy-no-mite!" often enough?
If you did all those things and couldn't get a girl, then I would have to say the problem was most likely you. It never failed to work for me or my friends.

OMG, that was my problem! 🤣 definitely didn’t have much game. Moved to Florida for a year at 14 years old and kids that age were having sex. That was 1970.

Having a mullet wouldve been cool , I was born in '89 so I didnt get to enjoy the 80's. Cant say I would travel to the 80's just for mullets and whitesnake though.
