Relationships: what's about that?

Who knows what is the right attitude to relationships between women and men?
Where is the perfect balance between "Sex and the City" style with one night stands, and a traditional culture of "no-touch" before the marriage?
Of course, everyone balances as good as she/he can: depending on family bringing up, education, current environment we all form our habits and attitudes, including to the other/same sex. We want to love and to be loved; or at least we want to care or to be taken care of; we want to feel that what we do and whom we are with is important to ourselves. And that we are important to someone… This level of importance is different for everyone: someone just needs a proof of one's attractiveness and goes for easy-no-obligations relationships; someone longs for a love forever at first sight and doesn't agree for anything less to be in their life. Someone waits for the One and values stability; someone meets many people and enjoys the moment.
But then, if we are so different, and need different things, and enjoy different things - why there should be one denominator or the right and the wrong? Why we judge "that girl" or "that guy" so easily in their approach to man-woman relationships? And more important, why we let ourselves be judged?..
We all act upon our own sets of values and attitudes; and so many of them are already formed before we realize that. And, what a surprise :) they may differ from other people's attitudes.
Our freedom ends only where the freedom of others begin; so, may be it's time to THINK and FEEL as we really want to??..
