Girl: "RAAAAAPIIIIIIIST!!! STREET HARRASSMEEEEEEEEEENT"
Guy cries on the way home.


Next day, Guy sees girl


Guy: (thinking) "she has her phone out, so she wouldn't want to talk to me anyway"


Next day, Guy walks outside, sees girl


Guy: (thinking) "she's really pretty, but I'm just going to look at my phone and pretend I didn't notice her--she's on her phone anyway"


Next day, Guy walks outside, DOESN'T see girl

Between men being afraid of being labeled creeps and everyone living on their phones, everyone has forgotten how to connect as human beings on the most basic of levels.


Everything is instant gratification, low effort, and chosen by flicking an option on our phone screens. Naturally, that type of callousness and disconnect finds its way into relationships--and into the bedroom.
