Why do people think dating was easier in the 90s-early 2000s?

[Anonymous]

Unless you’re currently 35+, you most likely weren’t dating or even alive during that time period so what makes you think it was easier?

For those who were there and either experienced dating or saw other people date then, what made it easier? Was it easier as most people say compared to today/what we witness today?

I was alive then and it was much easier to date then

I was alive then and it was easier to date then

I was alive then and it was harder to date then

I wasn’t alive then but think it was probably easier to date then

I wasn’t alive then but think it was probably harder to date then

[VanillaSalt]

Was it actually harder? Both sides have pros and cons honestly. There’s a few questions I want everyone to ask themselves and if ya want I wanna get some answers.


Dating just sucks but in this case is it the grass is always greener on the other side?


Today less people are what we consider to be acceptable.


At what point does it become good to “settle” for less than ideal?


You women that say all men want is sex… is it you and your only getting a specific type of guy? I don’t just want sex and I’m a pretty decent guy so by your numbers I should be swarmed by women wanting a man like me.


Ladies… you can’t all be 7s. Most of you HAVE to be 5s because that’s average.


Paradox of choice… When given many choices we tend to question our choices. So is having many options better or worse?


Sexual liberation gave women freedom to be men. Now we have men refusing to be better because women will eventually give it to em. Ironically women are forced to put out quickly or lose mens interest.


At what point do we need to consider changing for others a good thing?


What value does the opposite sex bring to our lives now?


Marriage… marriage marriage… It’s not just cause God says it’s a commitment that meant something. Divorce was a mistake. We should leave the people that make poor choices to make the best out of their situations as long as their not abused. I mean who’s gonna get a 30 year mortgage when the average length of marriage lasts 10 years? Who gets the kids when you split? If a man marrys a woman she can cheat and leave and still get money as though it’s natural. It’s so one sided so why marry? And without that ring and marriage as a commitment are you really committed?


More people are fatter today.


My biggest question is this though… Nearly everyone here says it’s worse but what are you doing to change it? Are you just accepting it and using the apps and social media?

In the 90s you had 14.4, 28.8, and then eventually 56K modems to get on the internet near the end. Most people didn’t even use the internet. Of those who did, it was mostly guys. No one really had cell phones. People use to call each other on land lines and met up place every day. In general people were out and about more to socialize. There were common gathering locations were tons of people went to congregate, talk, flirt, hear about what was going on, etc. because that’s how you communicated (face to face). I was a teenager during the 90s. So from my experience you could go to certain shopping malls and meet like 30 different girls within a couple hours that were all around your age. Some went to your schools others that went to other schools. There were always girls at the beach. There were often girls at the park. There were always girls at the movies. There were girls at action parks (go karts, minigolf, arcade games, etc.). There were girls at the mall. There were always girls at the bowling ally and arcades. There were girls on exercise paths. There were girls at the skate park. There were girls at the community center/teen center. There were multiple underage keg parties every weekend. There were girls at raves, concerts, etc. People use to meet up at people’s house like 20 people at a time guys and girls mixed hanging out and having fun on a normal school day. Teens were often in nightclubs and bars on weekends because they carded you less back then. People were always walking places because they had places to be. You could pick up girls in front of minute markets and on side walks and just about anywhere you went. If I look at the behavior of younger generations I barely ever see any of them anywhere anymore and especially not in groups unless you are in a really large city. They are at the bus stop in the morning. They go to school and then they walk home from the bus stop. They work typical minimum wage part time jobs. The beaches are often empty with the exception of an occasional old lady, beach fisherman, or visiting tourist unless there is some major event. It’s bizarre. Arcades, bowling alleys, action parks, city parks, community centers, movie theaters, malls, etc. are often ghost towns now. I only hear drunk people going crazy and blasting music on days like new years eve these days. Kids sit around on their computer in their room now and talk on the internet, watch streaming TV, and play online video games while girls often take provocative pictures for Instagram and Facebook to try to get attention. Cock teases use to have to pull their pants down in front of a group of guys and show off their thing or come up and ask to sit on a guy's lap. lol Behavior has definitely changed in young people.

[BeMuse]

*thong

[BeMuse]

There are polls that show 83% of teens mainly just hang out with their friends at school these days. That's totally crazy. You have 5 minutes before class to talk. 5 minutes at the end of class to talk. You have lunch and time in the halls or on the bus. In the 90s I would hang out with my friends for 10-12 hours straight after school in large groups every day I was not working. Often girls came to my house knocking on my front door when I was working asking where I was at and I had to make up some story about who she was to my Mom when I got home from work. It seems like the younger generation doesn't even really socialize at all. That probably explains why there are so many narcissist people these days.

[BeMuse]

Nobody has any community or real world interaction with real people on any meaningful basis. It's all internet persona. It's all self-centered around building an avatar as it were.

[Petr87]

How could you have been a teenager during the 90's if you're only 33 years old? You were under 10.

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 I never said I was 33. That was a lie you made up in your own mind. You commies are so committed to your narrative you believe your own lies. It's hilarious.

[Petr87]

It says it in your PROFILE! You know, the main page that displays your personal information? It says 33.

[Petr87]

You accuse ME (or "commies") of lying, when you're clearly the liar here! It's hilarious. :P

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 Oh yes randomly generate profiles are accurate logs of people’s vital information. For example, you weren't given a first, middle, and last name by your parents when you were born, they just called you Petr87 like a laboratory experiment and you’re not a human, you’re a satellite flying in space. Where you born this stupid, or did you have a terrible accident where you fell violently on your head?

[BeMuse]

*Were

[Petr87]

They're not "randomly generated". When you sign up to GAG, you have to set your age manually, and there isn't an age it defaults to, like there is with nationality (the default being 'United States'). You are such a liar.

[Petr87]

Look, just face it - you've been caught lying. You're 33, therefore were born in 1990, and therefore were not a teenager during that decade. If you're not 33, and that number is a mistake, then how old are you? And why haven't you asked someone here at GAG to get it corrected?

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 The fact that you believe your own delusions and try to reason starting from your own lie shows you're not capable of maintaining a connection with reality. You're lost in a psychosis.

[Petr87]

Also, your comment within the main text that, "no one really had mobile phones" during the 1990's is wrong too, because even back then virtually everyone had them. The internet existed as well, and a lot of people used it at home, and even back then it was a recognised problem that some teenagers had become addicted to computer games (although back then virtually all games weren't played online, but against the computer).

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 You're obviously way too young to know what the 90s was like...

[Petr87]

Oh gee, such a devastating, decisive retort! Personal insults. Yeah, attacking someone personally is always such a good strategy. Lawyers use it in the courtrooms all the time! Liars always accuse the ones who have caught them out of being the liar, but that doesn't actually work in the real world.

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 The evidence evidence is right in front of you. Your statements have been proven false. The fact that you have false beliefs about the 90s indicates you were not present during that time.

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 Based on your perception of the word back then, you are in your late teens to early 20s.

[Petr87]

That graph is meaningless, because it doesn't give us the information we would need in order to assess its accuracy. For example, does it cover the entire global population, or just the population of a particular nation, region or city?
And yes, I do remember the 90's very well, just as well as I recall the 80's, because I was actually there, and much of what you've written about living during the 90's just isn't true. I'm 54, almost 55, but you were just a baby during the 90's, and therefore wouldn't remember much of it at all.

[BeMuse]

@Petr87 You're a pathological liar.

[BeMuse]

[MidnightOwl57]

Ok although I was very young back then and don't remember that era well, my impression from speaking to people, who are older than me, and reading about it, was that dating back then was much easier.

Dating nowadays is so frustrating... lots of dead ends, fickle people uncertain about what they want, excessively opinionated, uncompromising people etc. It's so hard to find someone who is compatible and who eventually wants marriage and a family. Also, beauty standards are extremely high due to social media apps that have turned people into commodities. Almost like day trading in the stock market. Get in take a small profit and get out. Dating options are vast and quick. You can always find someone prettier or more handsome thinner or heavier. That doesn't even include fake accounts and predictors. These options are time consuming and stressful. Dating 20 or more years ago was not all consuming. People went out with friends or anyone'ss family gatherings and met people through work friends or at school functions. Social interaction levels were more friendly and casual. We also were more skilled in interacting with others on a personal level. Today dating is disposable like a bic razor. Use it once throw it away. I dont ever remember using the word ghosting. It's easy to ghost because you really dont know their family or their friends or their co workers. You really dont know them. Your just a commodity to be traded for someone new.

[TopTier]

You should've kept going until you traced it all back to the 1970s, birth control, feminism and women's hatred for the working man

[Screenwriter]

I don't think it is or ever has been easy to date, no matter WHAT year it was.

Dating is stressful. You get dressed up. You get matched up, online or through a friend or family member. You have high hopes. You meet the person or talk to them on the phone or online. You THINK you might have a chance.

But after a date or two... or even two dozen, things fall apart. Then you have to start over. Nothing about this process is easy.

Arranged marriage might've been easier. You had NO choice. Neither did the other person. Someone else chose. You were married and stuck for life. But many arranged marriages fared better than "marriage for love." Because, over time, layer upon layer of a person's personality is peeled back.

Sometimes you grow together. You enrich each other's lives. But there are fits and spurts of mediocre experiences to wade through until you find someone deeply suitable. Usually it takes loads of trial and error and time.

It's NEVER been easy.

[ManOnFire]

I'm old school, yeah. So back in the late 90s and early 2000s people more often would talk on the phone even if they weren't seeing each other in person, and I still like to talk on the phone and hear a woman's voice. Texting is fine too, but I do come from an age where having a little more of a personal/intimate interaction was valued. That's where I differ from so many people of today's generation, who are much more okay with just seeing words and pictures. I need more than that.

Having said all that, dating/mingling with chicks back then was a lot better and seriously based on a concrete interest in one another, and I think females back then were friendlier than they are now. Today you have to deal with alllll the women who are scared to text, who ghost, who are suffering with social anxiety, are nervous about dating, are overthinking all kinds of tiny details, full of emotional damage or baggage from an ex lover, a past life of hooking up, or bad relationship with their parents, or are juggling more than one guy and can't keep their story straight. And then of course you have all the ones you gotta avoid that are only interested in money and social image.

[D_Bone_Steak]

You made some really great points there that I totally didn't remember to mention. Damn, shit has changed so much... the then and now is so different.

[ManOnFire]

@D_Bone_Steak Quite sad the world is now.

[Asker]

The part about upbringing is interesting. Our parents generation hardly divorced but many of our parents are which can frauds trauma even if it’s not surface level

[Asker]

Cause*

[ManOnFire]

Correct. Also too many people growing up in single mother households effects them too, both boys and girls. You need both parents. Single mother homes often tend to be full of the mother's toxic emotional baggage and narcissist tendencies, and they exude both emotional abuse and narcissistic abuse onto their kids. Then they grow up having problems like the girls sleeping with every guy, and the boys growing up having emotional issues like females and not being able to have good relationships with women.

[whistlingwh0res]

I feel like it's all shitty nowadays. People don't meet in person but online. they end up becoming fuck buddy.

[kylee2437]

Because you didn’t have to date in those years to realize how much the world has changed between the early 90s and now. If you don’t think texting / the internet has impacted dating - you aren’t paying attention enough. Look at an older couples text threads and look at a newly aged couples text threads and you will see quite a difference

[Asker]

Isn’t that a benefit if now people can text and date on the internet. I fail to see it as a negative or think because of this it’s made dating worse.

[kylee2437]

@asker it’s a negative because people feel like they are entitled to constant communication with someone. People take text messages as serious communication. There’s a study that has been done that this generation prefers quicker methods over methods that take time - which is why many people want something super quick and will lose interest when something takes time to mold.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Logic is not your strong suit.

[kylee2437]

@ChefPapiChulo or logic isn’t your strong suit because with pros comes with cons. The internet has brought pros but also has brought numerous cons. That’s a part of evolution

[ChefPapiChulo]

My head hurts

[kylee2437]

I’m sure it does since you can’t concept basic evolution

[ChefPapiChulo]

Just re read what you said man. I don’t have the energy to educate you.

[kylee2437]

@ChefPapiChulo it makes proper sense. You see a young couples text threads and they can’t leave each other alone for two seconds, always texting, getting annoyed if their partner doesn’t answer after a few hours. Then you see older couples texts, and they will most likely be very vague or nonexistent. So older couples were not up each other asses all the time meanwhile this new generation has the idea that they have too much access to people. You can literally now keep tabs on your exes life because of social media and such.

[ChefPapiChulo]

sounds exhausting.

[kylee2437]

@ChefPapiChulo common sense is exhausting to people that lack it

[ChefPapiChulo]

so true.

[VanillaSalt]

@kylee2437 welcome to my world! It’s so hard to explain something 5 different ways and still not be understood.

The internets definitely effected dating. Instant gratification is just one way but also it’s limited social interaction to digital interactions and it’s allowed people to reach well outside their normal circles. For example Instagram models. Hot girl seen on internet by cute rich guy whom flies her out to Miami and then her Instagram is up showing her “normal day” and nobody sees the fact she’s just fun for the guy or the hell she goes through but all the girls wanna be her and the guys think all women are like her… It also allows a woman or man who’d have to settle for a smaller group near them to either move if their serious or buck up and have more reasonable expectations.

Ugh and finally dating apps… thousands of men and only 1 woman. She’s just showing off her onlyfans and their only after sex now that sex is just a good time.

[Asad1ONE1]

This. Social media has given rise to women's false ego and simps LOL

[kylee2437]

@Asad1ONE1 most people have boosted ego because of social media but I am referring to the social aspect of social media. The constant need to keep in contact meanwhile people also developed terrible communication skills when it comes to conversations that actually matter is painful. People lack communication skills , meanwhile wanting to text someone all day Bs text messages and get mad when people don’t text them back for a couple of hours

[Asad1ONE1]

Most "women" have boosted ego because of the SYSTEM. Because of men and their abuse of the SYSTEM. Men are ruining online dating for other men. And women aren't any better. Likely even worse.

[kylee2437]

@Asad1ONE1 everyone has a boosted ego when they can hide their flaws through social media, it isn’t just women, sorry.

[Asad1ONE1]

I hope that's the case, but I can't see it being that equal though. Men initiate and women receive. At least that's what I've seen and heard. Looks like you know something I don't lol.

[kylee2437]

There’s tons of men that no longer want to commit because of easier access to women through social media. Not hard to figure out

[Asad1ONE1]

Well I've never even tried. I've shied away from the competition 😢

[VanillaSalt]

@kylee2437 your not wrong but that’s far from the main reason. The main reason is womens view of men and marriage today coupled with the rate of divorce today coupled with the disastrous results of divorce for men particularly. MGTOW, red pill, black pill… these are different movements that together makeup a huge portion of men. I think any men that haven’t been shown otherwise expect marriage to fail. And frankly the rate of divorce is over 50% so yeah.

Another thing to consider is… why? Why marry when we get everything marriage gives free? So I can have the LTR and dip whenever I want the same as her. I get sex I get kids I get a partner but I don’t have to sign paperwork that splits all our assets. Yes common laws a thing but in that case there’s ways to avoid it. Lazy man’s prenup.

[Asad1ONE1]

Many men don't approach women these days. Because they know that there are women who are man-haters and purposely want to reject.

We don't even give them the opportunity. They can be miserable by themselves.

Women are beginning to realize that they have no power without the men giving them the attention LOL

[VanillaSalt]

@asad1one1 I can’t agree with anything you just said other than many men won’t approach to avoid trouble… likewise many men won’t waste time with an unbalanced situation… likewise many men ain’t approaching cause they don’t know how and are cowards… likewise many men ARE approaching…

A majority of the women effected by this arnt the bisexual feminazis… it’s the average women that don’t even agree. Now I will say the bad behavior of these feminazis is almost completely the fault of women. One for not calling it out and defending men louder then the college hoes can complain but two for being the single mothers that raised them though men had a responsibility and failed there too.

[Asad1ONE1]

@VanillaSalt yes that too. Agree or not it's the possibility.

[OlderAndWiser]

Online dating makes dating MUCH easier for me. I think that every woman I have dated for the past 15 years has been a woman I met on a dating site. I know that some people think online dating doesn't work but I think that some people just don't know how to use dating apps.

I am currently living wth a girl who I started dating in December 2020. At that time, she lived in another city 85 miles away from me and I would have never met her unless we met online. After dating for seven months, she moved to my hometown and we started living together.

Once I was out of school, the women I met were either co-workers (shouldn't date a co-worker) or women at my church (shouldn't date them for the same reasons.) I could go to bars to meet women but I don't want to date women who hang out at bars. Online dating opened up a huge group of women who were available and interested.

[D_Bone_Steak]

What dating site you use? There for a while, it was making it super easy to find hookups but from what I've seen online dating took a turn for the worst. HotorNot took away the rating system, sites like plentyoffish stopped allowing shirtless pictures, and my favorite backpage and craigslist got banned. I hear it's still good for pay sites, but I'm not going to pay for anything.

[OlderAndWiser]

@D_Bone_Steak I have used zoosk, Bumble, and a paid POF subscription.

[D_Bone_Steak]

When you paid for POF, did it help?

[OlderAndWiser]

@D_Bone_Steak As I recall. I haven't been on those sites since December 2020. I me my girlfriend on zoosk and we have been living together for the past 18 months.

[Asad1ONE1]

Easy in terms of "convenience". Harder in terms of "double standards" and "sexism" and "narratives".

[OlderAndWiser]

@Asad1ONE1 Don't let every one else tell you what to think.

[AviatorTom]

It was easier because you didn't have so much social media to criticize your every move. People interacted face to face, not in text messages.

In the 90s, no one ever asked "My boyfriend didn't answer my text right away. Should I leave him?"

[Avicenna]

Because it was. People interacted more in person then and didn't have their noses stuck in their phones. Nor was I expected to constantly be in touch.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Those fucking phones... that's what is fucking shit up in my opinion. My fucking kid would think some random woman trying to get him to her Onlyfans was actually a girlfriend. Can you imagine me trying to explain to him this is not a real woman with any real interest in him outside of his subscription money? It's insane.

[Avicenna]

@D_Bone_Steak: True That

[Guy13]

No idea. Women have never been easy to deal with🤷🏻‍♂️

[elew4too]

I lived through the transition. When I started college, I had a Nokia brick phone using T9 to text. By the end, I had an iPhone with dating apps on it. Overcoming your nervousness, building confidence, working on your respect/framing, etc. was much more difficult than swiping on an app, but it was MUCH more rewarding once you got a woman's number. You felt like you earned it by being well-groomed, approaching her with confidence, building rapport, maintaining conversation, being playful/respectful, etc. Those skills may have taken years to develop, but you became a better man because of it.

Women were also much more receptive to being approached in the 00's/early 2010s, especially in bars, parties, etc. Most expected (and some wanted) to be approached. Nowadays, I hate to say that it's rarely safe to approach women with intent, unless you're in an environment where that's clearly an expectation. You could also match with someone who would never swipe right on you in an app (and vice-versa). Winning people over with personality was much more feasible.

Modern dating is. . . diverse. There's dozens of dating apps. There's dozens of social media sites that all have their own messaging system. There's emojis. There's read receipts. There's that bubble that pops up on the screen when someone is texting a response. Technology has made things more complex.

Dating back in the day was easier because you could only talk to a girl over the phone or in-person. That was it. Your likes and posts on social media weren't over-analyzed. You didn't have multiple conversations going on at once with your dating app matches. If you had a conversation going on, it was because you went out, genuinely connected with a girl, hung out, and got her number. Dating back in the day was harder, though, because you had to overcome your fears and develop your confidence, charisma, etc. in order to get women's attention in the first place.

[Asker]

You could also match with someone who would never swipe right on you in an app (and vice-versa)

Then how do you match?

[elew4too]

Make eye contact, smile, approach respectfully, and talk about something common to you that piques your interest: the venue, attire, nearby occurrences, etc. You may be able to overcome a reaction that's initially negative by your approach/conversation, instead of being judged on your looks alone.

[silvermoon84]

I’m part of the 35+ generation and I wasn’t dating until 2006 but I knew people who were dating long before then. I would have to say it was because things were more concrete then. We didn’t have texting and social media when I was in high school. Cell phones were still a luxury for underage kids then and social media wasn’t even a thing until MySpace came out in the early 2000s, when I was already in college (now I hear about 10 year olds asking their parents for iPhones and it seems foreign to me, but that’s a conversation to have on another day). If you wanted to ask someone out, you had a few options: ask the person face to face or call the person’s house and risk one of their parents answering and in either case the person had to give an answer. Today we have to many people who just read a text, leave the text on “read” and don’t answer or simply just ghost. Nothing is definite until it’s Facebook official. When breaking up, it’s now more common to simply stop talking to the person or break up over text or simply change your Facebook status to “single” instead of giving a good break up speech.

Like I said, I didn’t start dating until 2006 but even then it was still done face to face because that’s how we did it before the digital age. I miss my analogue childhood.

[BlackBeauty90]

Let's see

Online dating wasn't that common.
For most online dating is just another bar or club. It's a cheap dating option with little thought for serious relationships, more friends with benefits & hookups. Yes long-term relationships happen but statistically they're minimal compared to cheaper relations.

Community clubs, etc. were more actively used
Nowadays few people go to community clubs. Those that do are typically of the older generation not the younger generation - who frequents bars & clubs more often - and as such options for dating when below 40 years in age is far more limited than before.

Standards were more commonly encouraged / sleeping around discouraged
Statistically marriage & divorce ratios have only increased. With people in their 20-30s nowadays divorce rates is 60+%. Most of them married whoever showed them attention and as months, years wore on found that they were more dissimilar than not.

Similarly ideology nowadays is not to have standards and sleep with whoever says hello to you. Back in the day people had self respect and respect for others and as such had standards. Sleeping with whoever says hi or sleeping around wasn't as common.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I was alive then and it was easier to date then. Something like holding a door open for a woman wouldn't get you scolded by her for being sexist. You didn't have to worry about looking in woman's general direction being taken as sexual harassment. Patting a woman on the back or talking to them was still acceptable.

I'm 40, so I've seen a time when a six-pack on a woman was the thing, then the big tits hit around 1993, then the big butts, and now we have giant landwhales walking around with body positivity. Yeah, you got your big titts and ass society... congratulations. Along with those sort of changes, came social changes that just changed everything. Like when I was in High School... you'd get thrown in a garbage can and the teachers and principals would just have a laugh about it... now though... that would be some serious shit. That's how much things have changed and it's changed with the dating game as well. My kids look at me crazy when I talk about all the fist fights I had to do in school. I guess that shit just doesn't happen as much anymore.

[chicosuave]

umm no social media or the web in general. phones were huge machines that were stuck in one place. people had to call peoples homes or show up at their house. girls mentalities were different. they had less power in terms of abundance so thats why dating was much easier and better. I dont know if you realized but women are the gate keepers in relationships so they made it even more complicated thanks to social media etc etc. Women were stuck with the same men from the same town or city and gps wasn't around so people werent traveling that easy back and forth. Also less option for women in dating the more likely she is willing to commit. now in days women complain guys can't commit because they gave a lot of power to a certain amount of dudes that dont want to commit to them. They reject the guys who want something more because they know they can get any guy and they think they can get guy who can't commit to them. Also their expectation were normal and not delusional back in the years.

[Anonymous]

I was not dating, or even alive back then. But this is my perception based on talking with people who are older and reading about how things used to be.

In my opinion, online dating has made things worse, not better.

The fact that more guys seem to be interested in little more than sex is not a positive trend.

Back then it was much clearer what men and women were supposed to do in dating. Today men complain that women don't approach or pay for dates, and women complain that men approach too much or don't do it the way they want.

It also just seems like there is more and more animosity and less respect and empathy between the sexes. There is so much negativity between men and women and it's very discouraging and depressing.

Yes, we have a more fair and equal society today, but at what cost? Has it been worth it? I really don't know.

I honestly don't like living in this era and wish I could travel back in time back to when men were men, women were women and dating was more fun and innocent.

Hello! After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: ogagakunta@gmail. com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other case

Well the dating world changed completely even just from 10 years ago... like I found my husband online 12 years ago... now trying to find a partner online is almost impossible.. all they want is sex and almost no one wants to commit... the worst thing is people will waste your time like they want to date... then once you like them they surprise you with the "nah I'm not looking to commit rn" BS. It's because there is so many easy ways for people to just hookup with people or meet for sex that there really isn't a need for guys or even slutty girls to commit. Really its kind of like how people online would cock off at you but when they see you in person have nothing to say... its like everyone has become internet cowards.. same as the ghosting or blocking bullshit...

Because all women offer is sex. They don't care for men's feelings it seems. So why should they bother caring for yours?

[Asad1ONE1]

And maybe women are the same way I guess. Just want to hookup since men don't care for their issues also.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

I think both are okay for both have pros and cons in them.

Before it's good 'cause of two reasons:

(1) there's no prejudice between the opposite gender and

(2) Without the influence of social media, people can get to know one other completely. These days, it is much more difficult because more individuals are becoming superficial.

Currently it's good for the reason that:

... it's much easier to mingle with people with the help of internet. If it weren't on internet I wouldn't find my special someone.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It was much easier then.

Feminism, me too, and other misandry cultures in general have made it impossible for most men to approach women, or be approached by most women, and people interact offline less now, and don't meet their neighbors.

Internet was still a thing in the 1990s/early 2000s. and social sites and dating sites were a way to connect with likeminded people instead of being fed agendas and ads and subscription fees.

Most people had common sense then, and they weren't offended by everything. It was also a time where modt people did not judge a book by its cover, so stereotyping was rare.

it waseasier and i can explain why i think so. not saying this is objectively true. it's just what i think. there's 2 different compounding mechanisms:

1. The advent of sites like pornhub and the easy access to watching super hot girls being fucked reduced the "market value" of girls in male heads.

2. at the same time online dating started becoming a thing, which increased the "market value" of girls in the heads of the girls.

so it has become more difficult for both girls and boys to find something like a "good match" in their mind. cause the disparity between what they want and what they can reasonably get got very much higher.

A few things:

Everyone wasn't walking around with ear buds in and strangers struck up conversations more easily.

I knew every person at the gym I worked out at. You weren't going to get sued for harassment because you said hello to someone and they weren't going to make you feel small for being friendly.

the internet wasn't a thing and you didn't hear about it every time a crime occurred 1000 miles away.

I could and did go to the grocery store or other common places and meet women and ask them out successfully. This was "normal"

Everyone wasn't so fucking sensitive or political

90% of women were thin and worth talking to vs. 90% are fat and not worth talking to unless you had blue balls nowadays

[Asker]

I don’t think 90% of women 20-30 are fat. Maybe you feel that way because when you were that age 90% weren’t but now that you’re older 90% are. Not fair to compare as most people get fat as they age

[notwoke]

trust me I'm a looker, even the 20 year olds who think they're hot now need to go on a big diet. Young women seem delusional to me. My 50+ yr old wife has a better body than 80% of them.

[Petr87]

It was even easier during the 80's. If you were interested in someone, all you had to do was approach her for whatever reason and just start talking. Find a common interest, discuss that, and it just got easier from there. Simple and straightforward.

Now most of you have your stupid heads buried in your ridiculous phones, so you wouldn't even notice each other most of the time, and if you did you'd have to worry about "offending" each other because you'd used the "wrong pronoun", "misgendered", or held open a door for someone who turned out to be a crazy radfembot.

Take me back to the 20th century, because this century SUCKS!

[bamesjond0069]

Way easier to date. Much harder to hookup. Today it's way easy to hookup and much harder to date.

Look, back then it was normal to just say hi to a girl, ask for her number or a date and then go on a date and she most likely wasn't a slut or feminist or other kind of female. However the average girl wasn't racking up bodies.

Today, we have tinder and nobody goes on dates, if I even try girls just say how about I come to your house because being in public gives me anxiety. Lol. Then we have sex. So it's easy to fuck but ofc if she's giving it out asap she's clearly not dateable so not interested in dating or anything anymore.

To actually find a girl I want to take on a date and then to go on a date, very difficult these days.
