I think Gen Z girls have destroyed dating. Social media destroyed their brain cells.

On social media I see what girls I know like/follow and it’s clear that girls don’t have any realistic expectations and demand absolute perfection but don’t give it.

Basic pretty face and they all demand perfection! A perfect guy that will buy them a 300k car, 80k Rolex, while being over 6ft, super handsome and only loyal to her. This is the Instagram content I see most girls my age like.

Now maybe I can provide all that, but I hate the entitlement and inauthenticity of all this. It’s fake/artificial and sadly what girls are like.

Women no longer want to find a guy and be there for him and grow with him from when he had nothing, and add tremendous value to his life. Girls look at guys like ATMs, like how much can I take out of this guy.

Is dating still worth it? I’ve had female interest and I don’t know if I should trust them or gave given them a chance, or make a move etc… I just keep away. I wanna have a family but not with someone fake and selfish.

A decline in mutual respect, freedom, and trust in modern relationships — especially among Millennials and Gen Z — is causing love to fail and servitude to rise in its place.

I think mutual respect, freedom, and trust are clearly declining in modern relationships, especially among Millennials and Gen Z, and the data backs it up.
• Respect: Emotional labor is heavily imbalanced. Studies note that women often carry the “mankeeping” burden (managing the relationship’s emotional/social side), while only 12% of men over 30 say they feel fully valued by their partner (The Week, 8 at the Table). Both sides feel disrespected—men for their sacrifices, women for their roles.
• Trust: Gen Z is drifting into “situationships”—36% say they’re unsure how to even define their relationship (American Survey Center). Add in politics, which has become a dating deal-breaker (Newsweek), and it’s no surprise trust between men and women is eroding.

• Freedom: Gender role expectations still dominate. Research across 29 countries shows when men lose jobs in “male breadwinner” cultures, the risk of separation skyrockets—not because of money, but because freedom from rigid roles doesn’t really exist (PMC study). Men feel trapped in provision/protection, while women feel pressured to “do it all.” Both blame the other for limiting their freedom.
• Relationships overall: Gen Z is disengaging—described as a “relationship recession” by researchers. Many are opting out of dating or even intimacy altogether (UCL, The Guardian). Pew found 63% of men under 30 are single, compared with 34% of women (Vox). That gap itself shows massive distrust and disconnect.

So when respect, trust, and freedom are all crumbling, what’s left? Love can’t survive under those conditions. What you get instead is obligation and servitude, one partner bending to the other’s demands just to keep the relationship going.
