There are so many distractions these days. I swear must have been easier to find love without technology in the "olden" days, there were just fewer distractions and so it must have been easier to get to know others. Nowadays it's just like a hookup culture and it saddens me a bit. People are so wrapped up in their online lives and media that we don't see what's in front of us. I guess I'm a bit hypocritical for saying this though because I spend so much time online..

I think so. But I am not so sure it is about hookup culture. I think it is about the illusion of choices. You think the pool is huge so you can be pickier. Or something like that.
And we are willing to wait longer for that right person, instead of creating a "right" from what we have now.
I might tell my 20-something year old self to go ahead and pick a mate in college. So many more choice back then. I always wanted to have a 50 year wedding anniversary. Noe that would be hard. I'd be super old!
But I am still hopeful that the right person is just going to show up one day when I least expect it!

hell yeah! I used to go out and met tons of guys and could pick. Now the competition seems bigger, less guys, more rejection, more games, more flakes, more weirdos, people always think they could do better .... IT WAS MUCH EASIER BACK IN THE DAY (15-20 years ago).
ONE in eight adults, mostly women, have given up on finding love, according to a survey.
Not surprising, considering that todays younger people are growing up thinking more of themselves before anyone else. And the Guys are the worse. You can see the proof right here in all the posts they make on relationships. Its all about them. Their idea of Romance is taking a woman out to eat, and then back home to have sex with. Great foundation for "Love" if they even know what the word means. They ditched "commitment" a long time ago, so its not a surprise that there is very little Real "Love" out there anymore. What they see now is a "Fake" and just being passed of as Love to be Politically Correct.
I kind of feel Sorry for a lot of them, since they lost their way someplace, and will never experience what a lot of us have. Their loss.

I don't think the "Pool" got smaller. I think it just got "shallower" and over run by "Bottom Feeders."

LA scene is the worst. They are either too much in love with themselves or they think they deserve THE BEST and then pick a bi tchy high maintenance princess because she might make pretty babies, get married, get divorced a few years later and when they are in their 50s they realize what a real woman is about and get reasonable.

Figures, like everyone else on CD thinks, it is the vault of millennial men.
