+1 yI think a lot of people these days don't know what true love even feels like.
Modern dating and accessibility to a wide range of different people has clouded our ability to get close enough to someone to actually love them. Especially younger people who get all their dates on Tinder and social media. They do something wrong, fuck em, I've got 20 more people in my inbox ready to give me a shot, wonderful wonderful ME!
That jittery feeling you get in your gut that feels absolutely amazing when you're around someone? Everything they do is perfect and they make you feel so good about yourself? That's lust and infatuation.
Love isn't nearly as intense. It's a more grounded feeling, if that makes any sense. Like it's just always there in the background.
Sometimes they do things that bug the hell out of you and you wish you could just strangle them! But you'd still die for them in a heart beat and do anything to make THEM happy, not you. That's true love44 Reply- +1 y
True man. That's a good way to put it

u +1 yLove doesn't change. But askng a girl for a first date by sending her a text message is definitely NOT a way to start bulding a connection. Your generation is letting your smart phones erode your lives (in the name of "convenience.")

Indeed. The day i went to the girl's house to ask her out,(we were class mates) met her parents. There was a strong connection not just to her to her family too, i wouldn't dare cheat on her and I'd never use her too. I went there because I wanted to care for her. Unlike now where it's the opposite.

+1 yI believe true love has always been rare. Whether in the past or the present.
True love is something thatâs serious. Itâs different from just a rush of chemicals in your blood and a feeling of excitement. True love is the kind of love that causes you to take a bullet for your loved one. Itâs something deep. But, it takes 2 people taking their relationship seriously to even get reach that point.
Whatâs happening in the modern world is the booming of hookup culture. In which serious relationships are not even sought after.
With less and less people ready or willing to enter into serious relationships, true love cannot even hope to be found.
It requires depth to grow, like a plant that wonât grow if the soil is too shallow.
There have been shallow relationships, both in the past and the present.
But with the rise of the casual dating scene and hookup culture, shallow relationships increase, deep relationships decrease, and true love which is already hard to find, becomes even harder to find.
I believe in true love. But it needs to be be created and nurtured between people who want to break away from the rest of society, who want to do things differently, who want to seek and create depth in their relationship.
It requires a mutual understanding and desire for it. And when they have it, they wonât be able to relate to much of the world, because they will experience a depth of bond that few can understand.18 Reply- +1 y
I believe you're talking about a relationship where a man is caring, protective and trusting. Yes you're right. If the world decides to keep hookup culture. Men will find new skill sets not to get deeply involved in relationships. That'll not end good, because what men commonly does becomes a standard for society.
- +1 y
That just made me think about hypergamy and the 80/20 rule.
If 80% of women want to be desired by the top 20% of men, the top 20% of men need to set the new standards.
If the top 20% of men wanted to only be in healthy, happy, loving marriages with virtuous women who are caring and loyal and nurturing.
Then, if women wanted to be desired by that top 20% of men, then theyâd probably try to become virtuous, caring, loyal, and nurturing women.
But sadly, hookup culture has pervaded so much of the world and itâs indirectly contributing to a mental health crisis. - +1 y

@Haha456 Not all men. I usually have waited until about month 3. And it sounds like youâre talking about those men with double-standards. I donât believe a man should expect women around him to behave like ladies if he doesnât have the self-control and maturity to behave like a gentleman.
- +1 y
@Haha456 But, if weâre talking about a large majority of men out there. Then I see your point in terms of how many men lack self-awareness.
Though the same can be said of many women.
People in general seem to have a lack of self-awareness when they have such high expectations of their romantic partners, yet so low expectations of themselves.
If a man wants a princess, he should be more like a prince.
If a woman wants a prince, she should be more like a princess.
Mediocre men wanting the best women.
Mediocre women wanting the best men.
They need to set high expectations of themselves if they want to attract higher quality suitors.
+1 yThere is no doubt that social media and technology have had a significant impact on modern relationships. The way we interact, communicate and form relationships has changed dramatically in recent times. While some people may argue that modern love lacks depth or is just a facade, it is important to note that every generation has its own unique challenges when it comes to forming meaningful relationships.
On one hand, social media and dating apps have made it easier for people to connect and find potential partners, but on the other hand, it has also made it harder to form lasting connections. With the rise of online dating and the ability to easily connect with people through social media, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of superficial relationships that lack depth and authenticity.
However, it is important to remember that relationships are what we make of them. It is up to us to put in the effort to form meaningful connections and create lasting relationships, regardless of the influence of technology or social media. While modern love may be different from what it used to be, it is still possible to form genuine connections and experience deep and meaningful relationships.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI think feminism has broken the system. What used to be clearly defined gender roles are NOT anymore. Don't get me wrong I'm not against equality in any way. But it used to be men work and women raise kids. Now men work, women work and don't NEED a man for anything. On top of that they compete with the men for the same livelihood. So this has NOT reduced a woman's expectations for a man. So while a man may have made 50k before now he's competing with a woman for less of a share of the same pie. On top of that not only has she siphoned off those resources. She EXPECTS him to STILL OUTPRODUCE HER. Or she feels he's not holding up his end as a man. So he's expected to produce more with less opportunity. Which anyone with a basic understanding of economics can tell you is not feasible.
So the end result to this is both genders no longer have clear defined roles. Women have never had so many options to pursue whatever makes them happy. And this good for them. But men have no PERMANENT role in woman's life anymore. So men have been relegated to define a new role for themselves. As a result both genders are less happy overall.
10 ReplyI believe that nowadays people are free to be in a relationship with whoever they want, which is good thing. You are also free to leave the relationship if you want to, which is also a good thing. But because of this freedom, the truth came : we are too immature to be ready for a relationship, and I believe nobody will be. When we are in a relationship, we crave our privacy back as much as our childhood. You get sex and you hope to be in a perfect symbiosis. But I believe that's just a dream.
Anyway, don't be a fool and think it was better before. No, it wasn't.21 Reply- +1 y
You're right. But i always felt like relationship before internet actually had a purpose and a direction. Now it's just sex and a "I'd find a better one" attitude. I didn't say that a women should be doing housework or anything like that. Just the freedom of today and the direction of the past would give relationship some meaning.
+1 yModern love appears to be a shadow of what it used to be to the older generation of people. I would say 90's kids at the latest.
You either progress as time goes on, physically, mentally and emotionally. Or you find yourself stuck in a tar pit wondering what happened.
With this context, modern love is not what it used to be. To say that it is a shadow of what it used to be, I feel would be an inaccurate statement.
Old fashioned love and modern love are two different things these days.
Men marry other men. Women have more power than ever. People of all genders and sexualities can be thesmelves far more than they use to be able to.

Oh. Are you insulting women?
- +1 y
The concept of men marrying other men, if you actually came across such couple you could find that one of them has much defined feminine characteristics. If i were someone who was attracted to the opposite sex based on character and now that women decided to be like men. The chances for me to find a woman with feminine characteristics is very low. It would've been more high if the internet didn't influence character like it does. Now most women talk the same, act the same and do things the same. Now there is no place in the world for a feminine women, she has to toughen up to survive. Or get insulted by "tougher" women. So yea.
- +1 y
What do you mean by that?
- +1 y
All of it
- +1 y
So basically, i believe the homosexuals are actually there because of our society. Men when repressed and scared to show feelings develop characteristics similar to that of women, emotional thinking etc. And some men having a attraction towards the way someone act and dress up, ends up liking the feminine men. And the feminine men with more emotional thinking just get attracted to the one who cares and shows an attachment to them. So the society where most women are made to toughen up the are less feminine women, and more agressive ones. So when men feel attracted to a woman but she ends up acting agressive, he represses his feelings and sexuality, sexuality might be repressed by family too. That's what happened in old times. And since now women are expected to toughen up in society, they all follow the same pattern commonly followed and that led them to talk, act and think all the same. It's like they read a book and now everyone is going by the book, ignoring their individuality.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yIf people spend a lot of time online, yes, then I think it is. Same goes for any type of relationship.
But just because social media is an option it does not mean people have to live by it. Unfortunately they use techniques to get people hooked and kinda addicted, so one need to be more aware and disciplined not to be controlled too much. Personally I have managed to more or less give it up and I now spend a minimal of time on social media compared to the 'in real life' interactions I get.
There are many people out there who managed to not be controlled in that way. But maybe one need to not look online to find them ;D

+1 yNot sure. But from my experience Iâd say with how modern and easy it is to access dates on dating apps like tinder for example, make it accessible. So itâs a lot easier for people to just do the minimum and get the benefits of a relationship without the commitment.

- +1 y
Yes, but the problem with tinder is that the longer you use it and meet people from it, you'll see there's a pattern. It's like they learned before hand. It's more like dating a well skilled person in communication and charm. But seeing someone in real makes your mind sure if you want them to be in your lives or not. And trust me that happens like only once in 4 years or so, but it's well worth it. Seeing images online makes an image on your head of the characters of the other and it's not even their real character. So is the simple convenient way worth it?
- +1 y
Really?
- +1 y
Do you mean as in if they are different in person from what you imagine based on their profile and how they talk online? Iâd be all for trying to date someone face to face that Iâve met in real life than using a dating app.
But if you seem the same people do the same thing online e. g. every match wanting casual when you want to date someone, it gets a bit tedious trying to find someone on the same page. itâs not worth agreeing to casual if you deep down donât want that as it will either only end in heart break or you wonât be fully happy with the situation - +1 y
This is what I'm talking about. A person never needs a casual relationship, neither one bound for life. Relationship should be something in between casual and bound to life. Something which should've existed Between internet's introduction and old ways of marriage. But somehow we skipped it, and the way it's going i don't think we are ever going to find that balance. It feels like people get into relationships based on their mental state or emotional thinking rather than a relationship. So now to truly understand love it take a whole lot of partners or none at all. Love was supposed to be the way of communication between partners, but now I don't even understand what is.

Most people can't differentiate between love and lust. If what you're are feeling wears off then it was definitely lust. Love is a constant growth. If you're easily bored then I would suggest that you find something less time consuming. Because it's only a matter of time before you break someone else's heart and do you really want to be that person?

Yes, but do you know for most people, they feel like they're not in love with the other anymore because they suddenly feel their individuality and see things more clearly.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIn some ways, yes. I think people today lack a sense of commitment and go into relationships, even marriage, viewing it as a temporary thing they can just walk away from if things don't always go well.

Women rights are only getting better and that's when they can actually have freedom to pick who they want.

Being unhappy is more of a personal problem. A partner is there to help you overcome it. If you're married and unhappy, a divorce isn't gonna solve anything but create more unhappiness. It's like a cycle of life you'll then never be happy no matter how great your partner is. The same person who one person was unhappy with makes another person happy.

Well, if i was expecting that she would never cheat on me I'd be really unhappy. But trust me, if i actually love that woman, I'd knew before if she was gonna cheat on me.
