Do you find it is becoming harder and harder to find a compatible partner?

It's never been easy. Never. (For hookups, sure, but committed relationships are a whole other ball game, right.)

But yes, I think it's become harder.
Probably comes down to:

• Changing/blurring gender roles. Men feel overlooked. It's dealer's (women's) choice still, they feel. Women are empowered in some ways, equal in others, but not completely. There's still prejudice, lack of respect. And on the flip side, girls still refusing to reach out, play a more active role in dating. They often wait instead.
• Lack of necessity/more self-reliance (in some ways - though more people are still living at home with their parents than ever before in past history), with an emphasis on singledom and not 'settling', means people are not motivated to compromise as much was necessary before. Forgiveness has given way to "have self-respect."
• A fixation/emphasis on appearance. The internet has done this, fed into base desires and insecurities.
• The appearance of so much choice makes people unwilling to commit and put the hard work in with someone. It's easier to move on, get back on an app, change or expand locations.
• Stunted maturity levels. Maturity is said to be 35 now. ?
• Internet addiction and lack of socializing in person means communication skills are plummeting.
• A turning away from marriage and having kids (due to financial reasons and inequity, often, though those are just a couple of reasons) and a growing sect of people afraid of commitment. Freedom reigns. "You deserve more." Infidelity (and the fear of future infidelity) continues. etc etc.

It is tough to find someone who is compatible and also you are attracted to.

[Ninjazzed]

I don't know, honestly? It seems like all the good ones I’ve clicked with are married.

[Starwitch23]

Me too I see taken men everywhere and also I don't feel attracted to anyone tbh.

Oh yes! Is abpain in the butt... whyas there are many reasons for it...
Let me give u a few examples...
1) "the looks" request/stakes become higher
2) the "sexual endorsment" also became higher
3) the "financial gain" is over the roof
4) when in need for space is no need anymore to say "i need some space", even in front of the "partner" we just dip our heads... even being a phone, tablet, pc, gaming... etc!
So yeah tge Stakes are too big to Belive that we will find someone "similar" to us...

100% due to hookup culture

[blank_expression]

Oh, I gave up a long time ago looking for a compatible relationship. Nope, now if she has ovaries and a socket for my plug, I just take whatever is tolerable for say a week—basically, the least mental illness available.

[Lionman95]

Yes I think so for many reasons.
One of them is the modern hook-up culture because many women don´t believe when I´m saying I´m not looking for sex.

[DizzyDesii]

Its easy to find someone compatible in at least one category of personality/similarities or looks. But its hard to find someone who has borh

[DizzyDesii]

*both

[genericname85]

yeah. specially cause now there's another difficulty added. i want a partner that is not an "anti-vaxxer" but also doesn't get the covid vaccine.

[monkeynutts]

I’m not trying very hard. But covid is kind of ruining that as well.

[Slartybartfast]

In a word, hypergamy.
