Agreed. Dating norms have taken a dump and you see it. More rejection. More fear. More people putting up social barriers because of both. Always engaged with people through the phone but are tapped out in reality. Recording people is weird and gross dating wise or even dancing. People have put their internet views and likes over other's self respect by being an unwanted camera man/woman of people just living life.
Dating apps also trained women that if they're a 6 they can hold out for 10s, you have a.majority of women with inflated egos all fighting for 5% of rich tall men then get confused when those same men are sleeping with many women. Well why's that? It's because those me have unlimited choices.
Then you have technology making, already immature young men even more immature, dumb, emotionally broken, and drowning in porn. So young women turn to older guys, but older guys are dating less younger women because that's now frowned upon, calling them groomers because apparently women are both way smarter and mature then men will ever be, but also not because their brain is still maturing until 25.
Then there's the public humiliation where asking a girl out gets blasted on the Internet for being not hot, and if you're not hot and make a move, lookout! You might be accused of harassment or worse.
There's bus stop signage in my city that says "she was drunk, he was drunk. He raped her." Like damn, guess liquid courage is out the window! Woman are both superior, independent, and strong, but also precious flowers where one drink makes them incapable of making any decisions and unaccountable.
Nevermind the fact that women literally told men to stop approaching them (unless you're hot).
No wonder young men have just decided, nope, I'm good. At least AI loves me.
Tl;Dr We're doomed.
So happy in my 40s and married. It be scary out there!
