In the 2020s, why do young people have such trouble finding true love? Almost everyone lacks class or isn't loyal?

Question

Those who lived in the 1970s and 1980s said that today's young people are unlikely to experience love like those of that period?

Your generation has grown up with their faces glued to a video screen. You think that if you like a girl, that "talking to her" means sending her a text. She judges your level of interest by how quickly you respond to her texts. If you aren't quick enough, she'll start texting someone else!

If you want a date, you don't call her and you don't ask for a date; you text her and ask if she wants to chill or hang out. You are cowardly about expressing your feelings to each other and the rest of the world. You talk about whether it is "official" and I have this comical picture of a long line of couples at the courthouse waiting to get a dating license. Actually, I understand that "official" means you are finally ready to admit to the rest of the world that you are dating and this usually happens when she is pregnant with your second child.

If you want to break up, you don't tell her; you just send her a text.

Your generation is quite cowardly about acknowledging their feelings, primarily because they rely on the digital world instead of living in the real world. And then they wonder why they don't feel "connected" to others.

You can laugh at my generation and pretend that we are like dinosaurs still roaming the earth in our own Jurrasic Park, but I never hear these complaints from my contemporaries.

here's an interesting observation... divorce rates started to increase dramatically during the 90's, and less than 50% of the couples remained married

so this can be seen as one thing... these are mostly the couples who married during the 70's and the 80's so... perhaps their love wasn't so truly, they were not so loyal and they forgot about "class" and said "fuck it, I'm out"

and their offspring... who probably had these divorced parents as their parents are now thinking "well, I ain't going to get stuck 20 years with someone like that"

many interpretations can be made when you generalize... lol

I absolutely agree with your statement it seems like now a days especially millenial men can't find the right companion they swicth from woma to woman as if they were umderwear. Especially guys in their early 30's. Countless of times I give men my ae the side eye for making rediculos comments they say uh 30 year old woman are old grandmas considering they are 30 year olds themselves too.

Ah, the quest for true love in the digital age! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is online and the needle keeps swiping left. Let's break it down; today's love scene is all about instant gratification, my friend. Gone are the days when serenading under a balcony was the norm. Now, it’s all about sliding into DMs.

The problem isn't that young folks today lack class or loyalty, but rather, the digital era has transformed how we perceive relationships. We're bombarded with choices, making it harder to stick with one when the grass looks greener on every swipe. Plus, the art of conversation has taken a hit – ghosting and lovebombing are the new norms, often leaving behind a trail of confusion and mixed signals.

However, it's not all doom and gloom! True love still exists; it just wears sneakers instead of glass slippers. It’s all about navigating through the chaos with patience, understanding, and a bit of old-school romance. So, grab your metaphorical boombox, and let's show them how it's done. 😉

I grew up in the 80s and never found love and always had problems. I'm age 56 and last girl I love was about many years ago, so figure that out. Furthermore, I just think shyness is what causes it with me and worry of being rejected.

The picture seems to belong an older age I think and there are still couples who married in the 60's with us.

If by love you mean falling in love, getting married, having a family and living out our golden ears... well that is a lame duck.

If all goes maybe you can expect 8 years before you are kicked of your ex-family home.

Cuz ya all a bunch a timid group think cookie cutter parody of yourselves. Here's an idea: PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN AND GO TALK TO HER!! It's the wrong Q anyway. You guys have problems getting to the relationship phase so class / loyalty are kinda moot for a lot of ya. STAND OUT. BE BOLD. BE INTERESTING. HOLD A REAL CONVERSATION. Sorry. Born in 72 and HS teacher and I've heard the girls complain for 20+ years. The simplest advice: GROW UP AND BE AUTHENTIC!

Younger people are very poor communicators, are not open or forthright about their feelings, and are to worried about what everybody else is thinking about them and their actions

It’s all because the “sexual revolution,” death of religion and start of our online world. It’s never been harder to find a quality partner, always chasing something more. Imagine you see the most beautiful, successful people in the world or your city within a couple swipes. Then at your partner, comparison is the death of joy.

Dating before was limited to your school, workplace or the local social areas. Now your able to contact those around the world

The immorality and poor life decisions of many people from the younger generations makes many of them undesirable as a mate. They may get sex, but the majority of them will never truly be loved.

The problem is that housing is so expensive that it's difficult for many young people to move into a place of their own. It's hard to form a relationship when you are still living with your parents.

That’s just them talking shit and potentially jealous of people living their lives that are a distance past for them.
