Dating a lost art?

Time and time again many have said chivlary is dead and women have killed. But it seems that dating is dying also and both genders are contributing to the death. What happend to getting to know someone before jumping in the bed. 

 The grasp of  free love is long gone since the  emergence of  AIDS/HIV  on the sexual disease scene. But it seems that no one cares about it and think that AIDS/HIV is a myth like big foot of loch ness monster. 

While on the other hand  men complain that women are gold diggers and women complain men are broke. For that I say have some damn standards. Maybe if you put on your list that you want a man with employment and don't falter you may not be as surprised on a first date. 

Men sometimes look beyond the glitz and glamour. 

But what is your outlook on this dying art form ?
