It's because the phones alone. If you remove that factor, date face to face, and keep messaging mostly for arranging dates, dating is a complete different experience. It feels like "the 80s".
That photo is so wrong 😂 I think you are referring to the chivalrous 50s after WW2. 1980s was lots of drugs and promiscuous women. Crack was huge and girls were getting pregnant at age 16.
Well that's not a picture of dating in the 80s, more like 50s. But I couldn't tell me what dating is like now. I think dating is dating. 🤷🏼♂️

Dating is great nowadays! Swipe on some chick online, pick her up later that week, pick up some chinese takeout, take her home for sex. Rinse and repeat

And lol at all the women here longing for how dating and relationships were in the past when they are the reasons dating has changed nowadays. Back in the 80s there weren't really as much hooking up or friends with benefits because women didn't settle for that. Now women are "empowered" and fine with hooking up with guys they barely know
Each era have their own charm. 80s was you and your date. No electronics, no social media. Relationship was a serious thing. This era, breakups are much more acceptable rather than prolonged pain, sex is much more and more openly accepted.
Everything before whatever tf we are doing now is better I rather have to kill an 800 lb tiger with a stick and a rock and drag it and a random cave woman for dinner date
I’d prefer to date in any era where technology isn’t involved.

The men the girls are looking for in this comments exist today. This comment section clearly doesn't represent much because most guys and girls aren't shit. Being shit is the normal.
Probably, if you have their genetics. Now it's more online, so it's about the effort you put into your social media and online image/presence. Before, you could just walk around and people know they have to act or get nothing from you. I really miss the pull I had before, it was easy as just being myself in the world. Now no one approaches or even wants to talk to strangers. You have to spend days texting back and forth, they want to stalk your social media, read profiles, see lots of pictures, long before meeting in person. It's such a waste of time I don't bother.
80’s, bc now sucks and there is hardly ever anything real. Also most people use dating apps and sometimes use them for one night stands and a good time.

I don’t know what it was like dating in the 80s to compare.
Trust… no one really does on here cause some where born in the late late 80s they think they have the answer… it’s not real
80s. No internet or social media. People were more genuine.
What he said🖕
I was a notion in the 80’s so I wouldn’t know. I’m not that old
I’d prefer to date in any era where technology isn’t involved.

In the 90s was best- we had cell phones and texting but no worthless social media
I like the way things used to be, it's more of a hook up culture these days.
You asked if we prefer dating in the 80s (1980s) or modern dating with a photo that is more like the 1950s
My parents are from the 80s and both brag about the number of people they pulled so I'm kinda curious if I'd have more pull in the 80s.

I believe the world was just as shallow as it has always been. Men wanting the prettiest girls and the pretiest gorls wanting the prince charming.
