Does modern dating make us better connoisseurs of people or just more critical?

More critical. Social media tricks young people into thinking they’re entitled to ‘better options;’ so they enter into relationships and when challenges come up and they realise the person isn’t perfect, they start to see dating options as expendable rather than appreciating having a good match right in front of them and nurturing that relationship.

Modern dating has made me become selective in who I decide to date

[HawkPerception]

It has for all of us 😂 But I think there's too much competition. Back in the day it was simple. You'd find someone around your area and be competing with one guy maybe a city away. Nowadays, due to social media, people don't settle because they always think it's easy to find someone better because they have access to everyone at their fingertips.

I agree

I'll buck the trend that most people are saying. Modern dating, in my humble opinion, makes individuals think more about what they want in life, what they want (and don't want) in a relationship. Some may call that being more critical. I call that being a better connoisseur, like how a wine connoisseur picks a fine wine.

More critical.

The INSANE amount of comparison in modern dating destroys most people’s ability to give and appreciate.

[Phoenix98]

People are just more critical/entitled, have more unrealistic standards.

That on top of social media twisting peoples minds around, spreading misinformation, among other things etc.

[aceleon]

just spoiled brats with too much option and too little value to give other people.

[Hagar88]

Makes a lot of men waste their time simping and gives a lot of women inflated egos

[RavVid]

Not so much critical. I think demanding is the word of choice.

Modern dating is rubbish and nothing gets done.
