Moral of Taylor Swift's "Love Story," from which the young women of America are likely garnering some of their values and ideals, judging by the target audience and the airplay it gets: "If a guy starts getting flaky because your *family* gives him crap and cuts off all contact so you think he not only doesn't love you but is probably about to dump you, hope he's been secretly sucking up to your family and buying an engagement ring instead, because if that's what's been going on, he's clearly a keeper."
*facepalm*
