Search Results: modern dating

A few nights ago I had a good conversation with a Uber driver on my ride home after listening to some live Christmas music downtown. I honestly was depressed I couldn’t find a girl to go with me. But it’s a personal tradition to listen to Christmas jazz. I am glad I went anyway

Anyway about the conversation. The Uber driver was a younger guy in his 20s who used to run a contractor business but it went under during covid and he drives Ubers full time. He told me he completely given up on dating and doesn’t use social media or dating apps. He has been single for 4 years. He wasn’t some overweight slob either. Not a trouble maker. Decent looking young light skinned African American man. Seems like some girl would appreciate him but he quit.

Anyway we both shared experiences about how we both once out in a lot of effort into dating that was very under-appreciated by women and then quit. There was a study done that over 60% of men under 30 are single now.

However most young women who answered this survey claimed to not be single. Either they are (or a combination of) 1) dating older men 2) in causal relationship they claim “is a relationship” when the man feels differently 3) not in a relationship at all but lying about (virtual “relationships” are complete bs)

Anyway let’s forget about men for a second. How are young women dealing with all of this? They are supposed to be more “free and empowered” but are they really happy in modern times? Statistically young women are reporting very high rates of depression:

My theory is young women have been indoctrinated in a lot of modern feminism brainwashing that brings them a lot of short term benefits but long term misery.

I just watched an excerpt from CNN about the rapidly rising demand for AI girlfriends, or artificial intelligence that will have in-depth and personal conversations with you.

While it could be a healthy alternative outlet for a lot of young men who never stand a chance at dating real women, a lot of people think it will ruin dating more than dating apps already have. I also recently saw a question on here talking about how to split expenses with your significant other and it devolved into several arguments. Calling even the basics into question.

Considering all the rapidly changing challenges of modern dating and the plummeting birth rate, rise in mental illness and other economic woes, it begs the question:

Will we as a society figure out modern relationships or will society loose cohesion and fall apart before we get the chance?
