I’ve always equated dating and relationships with money, something I partially blame society for. Cash has become the staple of what makes everything work, relationships especially: money for dinner, money for movies, and money for random gifts.

I wonder if guys looks at their W-2 forms at the end of each year and silently curse the female species and think, “Where the hell did all my money go? Oh…right.”

The economic crunch has certainly taken its toll on the dating population, especially for those directly connected to Wall Street when the stocks turned sour. Many women either married or dating Market-teers have been met with the frustration from the lack of attention and support that their significant others once gave them during more prosperous times.

But now the failing economy has strained relationships, put limits on credit cards, and clamped down on the emotional support system—forcing many women to reach out to one another via web, in hopes of finding some comfort.

If there’s one thing we females are good at is finding other people to talk our feelings out with. If an alien race came to Earth and gave the human species a test in expressing our emotions the women population would win hands down.

The worst part about breaking up or having relationships issues is finding the right person to talk to. A lot of the time most people either haven’t been in that situation, or are way too content in their current relationship to even imagine what kind of hell you’re going through.

Because unlike the economy, we’ll drop off the emotional map for few days but after spilling our guts a few times our stocks start to rise again, readying for the next soul sucking knights on white horses to come prancing in.
