Question, why is it in an age with all this communication technology, cell phones, texting, dating web sites, dating web sites with aps, linkedin, facebook, etc, why are so many people alone or lonely? I am not talking about those that choose to remain single, I'm talking about those that are struggling to find that special "someone." I have a friend that is 47, is a single dad, after being single for 7 years he wants to get back into a relationship and he's been telling me what a struggle it is. I have seen some of the profiles he's viewed on dating sites, while some women were outright sweat-hogs that I wouldn't even hold a door for, a lot of women were smoking hot! Like hot to the point that my first thought was "what is she doing on a dating site, that girl should be able to go out in public and guys' numbers just by breathing."
So my question, why are people struggling with this issue?
I have two theories. One, mainstream pop culture drills into our heads, girls more than guys, of what the "ideal" guy should be. Two, we as a society have become too diverse.
Technology has given people more choice and freedom to find what they want, and people have become choosier. Also divorce wasnt as widely accepted as it was today. People stayed in bad marriages long instead of today where people quit them at the first argument.
At least that has been my experience. I don't think technology is the problem though.
It's the people.
