I agree with you there as it is the same here on the west coast in California. In some very small ways it is because "trust" is harder to acheive and people go dutch at first avoiding manipulation and controlling nature.
But mainly its diversity of people from differnt country are able to "pratice" their culture rituals in big cities with port services. So rules of dating is so different.
It seems a lot of us on here (but I could be very wrong) are living in American tradition.
