Modern dating involving social media and dating apps benefit only a few elite men (5-10%) and nearly all women as they are the ones which get to participate in the sexual marketplace. However the catch is that when the ultimate commitment is concerned, marriage, it's the elite men who call the shots and they are in no hurry to settle down, so vast majority of the women lose out. So they are unable to compete on the deregulated sexual marketplace.
Traditional dating was a compromise between the two parties where average men had a chance of getting into relationships with average women and start families after marriage.
Now unless and until something drastic happens I dont see how we can transition out of the modern dating scene, so average and above average men should not waste time in participating in a game where all the rules are stacked againt them, nor should they waste their time in marriage. It's completely up to the women to dictate the course of the sexual interaction.
Only really had 3 relationships. One was an introduction through friends (old school). Two were through online dating. N. B. currently engaged to online relationship number 2.
The friend of a friend was good, we had common ground straight away talking bout our friends, similar values (so I thought) owing from being friends with same people. But when it broke down I felt really bad for those stuck in the middle. That part sucked.
With 1st online woman, more dating than relationship, was really nice, took a little time to relax with each other. When it ended was a clean break. Much easier.
Online is more convenient in some ways, can be difficult, putting in hours for no replies but much wider reach.
I used dating apps and I had matchs so I talked to dudes and it all ended up by an unsolicited d*ck pic or asking me to send nudes... By saying no or don't respond to the picture the way they wanted I'm a "whore" or I just sometimes just had a message saying "wanna bang?"
I feel online it's only horny dudes and my friends had either the same experience or it turning to be a disaster because what the guy wrote was the total opposite of his behavior. Women can be also rude on dating apps. So I prefer the traditional way even if it means I'll have to search for a long time.
Modern dating as in more casual and women being more forward?
I think people have their own definition of "modern" dating so i just voted modern.
When i think of "traditional" i think of men asking out the women, paying for the meals, pulling out chairs, all that stuff which I don't care too much for.

I think modern dating has pros and cons. If both parts are really serious about each other, getting to know someone without the distraction of their looks can be very nice.
u What do you call "modern" dating?
A combination of both chivalry, and understanding with a wild flair for the new in adventurous. It doesn’t really have to be either or; because often people are not either or.
That said holding the door open for your guest, being generally respectful, getting to know somebody for who they are. These things still never really die, and in my mind they’re just good behavior.
I prefer traditional women. And until GaG provides me with a reason why my topic has been deleted besides some leftist cry-bottoms reporting it, I guess I have a new signature here.

Only had experience of modern dating and can't say it's been any level of successful, so think traditional dating without the social media perfection clouding everyone's judgment of perfectly fine and loving relationship options in pursuit of people who don't exist in reality.
traditional, I never will use a computer to find a date. I am strictly in person guy
Heck I don't even own a cellphone.
I never had a problem finding dates doing it the old fashion way
Modern dating is worthless. It's a dark and dangerous road because too many liars, predators, and others who date for the wrong reasons have made it like that. Give me traditional dating any day, over the modern one.
Traditional.
The boy asks out girl and takes initiative model helps guys to develop and take risks.
Modern dating and its games over modern communication makes everything so bad.
Because now with technology it's easy to know the person
Modern dating don’t bother me. Traditional. I’d be dating guys. Who I’m not attracted to. In stead of women.
Online dating just doesn't workout for me, I'm immediately filtered out due to my height, and even if I do get a match it's usually a bot, a scam, or someone that is a little flakey
@cth2188 To be honest, I don't like modern dating & traditional dating because I don't like the unstable nature of dating.
I prefer the traditional way. If I feel like he's really the one then I'd marry him.
I prefer traditional dating. The online dating sites have created standards that are impossible to obtain, both for men and women. Also, there is something amazing about getting to know a person behind the technology.
Traditional even though it's pointless. I don't know about marriage
I have tried both. but modern dating , or online it seems to be a little happhasard. Where traditional you are more capable to control things
Modern dating is not dating. One man and one woman and nothing open….
i think an in between is best tbh.
I would like to get married and have kids.
What's the difference?
