lols!
From the above analysis, i will say the ancient love scenario is best judging by some of the factors listed by you. Every love story has it shorcomings but i prefer how things were done then to how it is done now.

These days, proposal, photoshoot and 'feferity'(lavish spending) determines who is caring or not. We are being sold 'nude' these days and makeups. Hardly will you see any beautiful lady out there these days without makeups.

Irrespective of what ladies think, i prefer the ancient love to this present one because monetary factors and 'what will people say' play important role in the heart of today's ladies.

Thanks.
