Do you think social media makes young people delusional when it comes to dating?

It’s a combination of things it’s sort of like television and literature before social media as well. Even now with television, books, Netflix, porn, and everything else. People get EXTREMELY unrealistic ideas of what dating and relationships are. Most end up extremely disappointed in the end as well. Especially the narcissistic people out there.

People create these perfect images of the woman or man they want. Holding people to unrealistic standards. But then at the same time demanding that that perfect someone can see past their own flaws and imperfections. It’s a two way street. But narcissistic people don’t get that

People like to down talk social media and assume it's not a reflection of society, but it is more so than people realize. I live in the real world. I've attempted to interact with women at bars and other public settings, and I'd hate to say it, but women are almost always exactly how social media portrays. Social media is posts about stereotypes. Well stereotypes are made from observations of the majority. There's a good enough amount of people observing the same thing that it's being posted by many.

My unpopular opinion is it's the people who say it's delusional who ARE delusional. They try to take the higher perspective, assuming their stance is better than others because they have faith in peoples characters and society.

So much makes young people delusional about relationships and socialization in general nowadays... not just social media (like having phones that allow you to access each other 24/7; all the chatting and dating apps; all the YouTube and Reddit and other amateur "advisory" platforms... It's a lot...

Maybe. But I don't think that is the real problem when it comes to dating. I don't think most people even ever know or take the time to know the person they're dating. Women are especially guilty. Of this as women create the ideal guy they want and project him on to whoever they currently are dating. Then they become shocked when he doesn't turn out to be that guy. And then claims he lied to her. When they reality is she just glossed over who he was she ignored every red flag because she wanted him to be who she wanted him to be.

Maybe. Why all the dating sites? What happen to meet someone real and go on a date. I miss the old days when these dumb date sites were not around.
