Is it me or is dating becoming more and more complicated in the modern age?

There's a lot of things that sre causing that.

- The on mentality

- There's always better

- slut mentality/ chad mentality

- slut shaming / fuck boy shaming

- Ultra selective

- Bad treatment of the other person

- Looking for something in the wrong person but when someone come with what you are looking for you reject it

- 0 compromise mentality

- People who were abused and keep looking to be abused by abuser (men and woman). This is an unconscious thing.

- Looking for perfection

- Woman who make a lot of money and don't settle for equal or less.

- The whole fake pansexual, demisexual and asexual thing. Those three are not a either a misunderstanding of the three sexual orientations (pansexual) or symptoms of a lifetime of sexual abuse (three others). Lots of denial, lying to themselves and stuff. Psychologist and psychiatrist are affraid to talk about it due to the backlash it would cause.

- People who can't take no for an answer

- People who can't go off the hook after being rejected

- The treatment of man post marriage, post relationship, post kid.

- The treatment of woman post the age wall.

- People lacking father figure ( thst shit is downplayed a lot).

- Woman treating men like object and an atm machine.

- Men treating woman like object.

- Not understanding physical attraction and psychological attractions.

- Friendship with the other sexe. (That is new for our time).

- Misunderstanding of what a relationship is.

- Situationship (woman seriously if you can't have a talk about being in a relationship you are in a situationship).

- availability to porn (low effect but does not help)

- mental ilness (that shot exploded during our time)

- self sabotaging

- Woman listening to their friend who can't seem to keep a relationship and downplay advice of those who can.

- Man influence of chad friend.

- distance relationship (ain't one)

- cheating

- me myself and I

-The marriage/relationship breaker. a lot of marriage/relationship would not end if there weren't always someone (outside) trying to break a marriage when things get hard for one of the partner. I had a girl describing the orgasm she had while getting with a married guy. She get off on the idea of destroying the relationship of the other woman. Lots of envy and hate there.

- Religion are no longer the moral example.

-The glorification of single mother. If you are a single mother you are a shitty parent. You failed to provide your kid a good family structure. Exception : dads who died.

- Deadbeat dat. You failed to provide your kid a good family structure.

I like things simple. When it comes to dating I think it's best to keep things simplistic.

Just be honest don't try to pretend to be something you're not. Let then know your intentions. If you want a one night stand or something long term I think it's good to be straightforward so nobody is wasting each other's time.

I would say it is due to different expectations.
In my parents' time, the expectations are more simple. Basically, you work, then marry and have kids, grandkids etc.
Nowadays, people have much more expectations and different preferences. People do not want to follow the previous societal norms no more. You can choose not to get married, you can choose not to have kids, you can choose not to marry but have kids, you can marry yourself etc.

The world is going trough shit times and people are stressed out. We also tend to not trust each other much anymore. I've lost hope that I'll find someone for me at this point.

I think there is "the one". Emphasis on ONE. You probably won't find it. My parents did, and depending on what happens, I may have too. People have unrealistic expectations and settle on things that they shouldn't have therefore taking someone else's one, and depriving their one from being with them.

Yes it's primarily why i just quit dating. All women if they show interest in me it's only till they find a better offer. And it's all about what they can get out of me anyways. Would you rather be with someone who pretends to love you? Or just be alone? At this point i'd just rather be alone.

I highly recommend that you read Rolo tomasi's book or check out his YouTube channel as well as entrepreneurs in cars. they both kind of go over the gender dynamics that go on nowadays and it be good information for you.

There’s clearly less focus on personal interaction IRL, and that’s had a huge effect IMHO.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, soon they'll be no dating
That'll be interesting

Dating and marriage became a disaster once feminist forced the government into every relationship.

[Anonymous]
