I'll go so far as to say it's a lot of these things, and a combination of a lot of these things. Mad Rabbit wasn't that far off. People are in love with the idea of being in love. I think this stems from a lot of sources, but it isn't necessarily based on the idea that a time investment is necessary. As far as time goes, we have become an instant gratification society. The internet alone is a perfect example of this. Before the net, if you wanted information or knowledge about things, you had to do some form of actual research. Now, "google is your friend" is the almost automatic answer. There is actually a social conditioning connected with that, right along with fast food, and a lot of other areas in life that more than satisfy the 'get it now' mentality. The 'casual play isn't ok' mindset. It often reminds Me of the 'oh, I'm above watching tv' types, who think the only real entertainment in life can be classical theater. Almost like there is no in-between. Our vanilla counterparts don't run out and marry the first person who ever shows interest in them (I hope) but we seem to have a plethora of folks who are more than happy to consider themselves 'owned' after a coffee meeting. Have you ever noticed that nobody ever says "velcro wedding band" but I'll bet just about everyone hear has heard of velcro collars. No, life isn't a hamburger, but people settle for one once in a while.
