Has social media destroyed dating?

Back in the day, even in big cities, the number of potential partners you could meet was limited to your locale and frequented locations. In a town there might be, to pick a number, 100 guys and girls say. The most eligible guys and girls would most likely match up and that would go down to the least eligible. 10's would pair with 10's etc etc.

Now it is more of a globalized market. It is plausible to scan a large city for matches. Guys and girls have different strategies. Pussy is pussy for guys and quantity is better. So a 10 guy is happy to do a 5 girl.

Prince Charming has always been the hope of girls. There are reasons for Cinderella stories and they do happen. Queen Mary of Denmark met her Crown Prince in an Aussie pub.

So girls have always hoped for a lottery style win on quality whilst guys have gone for quantity. No surprises what happens here is there? Girls go for the top guys and the top guys go for as many girls as their stamina permits.

There are a couple of other factors. If a 5 girl gets with a 10 guy then she starts thinking she is a 10 girl.

And girls don't like hierarchies so a girl saying she is a 10 and saying another girl is a 5, can lead to social exclusion. So girls play safe and say everybody is a 10 even when they are obese.

A lot of positive reinforcement is going to give more positive self image and social media use correlates to female vulnerable narcissism trends which will inflate what they consider to be their market value.

It is a perfect storm.

Why would you say that? Find a woman, ask her out. Don't waste time chatting on social media.

It's definitely created an immature gender war 💀 you can't go anywhere without hearing how all women are sluts or all men are rapists. Doesn't foster up a very romantic aura

Pretty much, these days social media is one of the main causes for relationship problems and cheating

Social media has destroyed just about every relationship, and society as a whole. We need to get rid of it.

It might have caused some damage to those people addicted to it. The rest of us are doing just fine.

I wouldn't say destroyed. I'd say dealt the final death blows. It has just accelerated more efficiently what was already happening in society.

Not destroy but affects relationships

[Iron_Man]
