Why people don't talk anymore
The long and short of it:
Guy walks down street, sees girl
Guy: "Hi! My name is X, I noticed you and..."
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
Guy: (thinking) "I wonder how much XP I can get before my wizard..."
Next day, Guy walks outside, DOESN'T see girl
Guy: (scrambled thinking) "der used 2 b dis thang callllled language buttt i ferget how 2 yoozit no morez"
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.
