What do you believe from both sides of the men and women do you think makes the dating world hard today in terms of dating, hook ups , marriages, stable relationships? Why has it been hard to find a permanent stable relationship in your opinion?

Headgames, playing, trying to take upper hand /leading position.

"I don't text for 2 days so she/he will not think I am too interested/desperate" ... and pffftttt........

Say what you mean, do what you said and stop faking.

I think it can all be traced back to the daycare kennels most people were stuck in, as children. Having to routinely defend yourself against other children (many of them budding psychopaths), at an age when a young primate should still be at its mother's side (and protected by her, and her family group), can render you incapable of truly loving and caring for others.

I think that most people, today, are mere hollowed-out husks of humans. They're selfish and cynical. And they're incapable of being anything else. How can the level of unselfishness required for true bonding be expected of such people?

You can search your whole life, and never connect with someone who is emotionally intact. People are like a mass of Zombies, staggering around, looking for a live human with an intact brain. Just as Zombies sense that other Zombies have nothing to offer, and so do not attempt to eat each other, Daycare Survivors eventually reject each other - always looking for that 'real' person. But there aren't enough Real People to go around.

Looking behind the carefully constructed shells - the hot cars, the hot clothes, the toned bodies, the carefully-conditioned hair, the desirable degrees - there's hardly anyone left, who isn't one of the Undead.

Women don't have it hard in dating at all. I know many of you are gonna tell me I'm wrong but deep down you know women don't have to work as hard when it comes to dating. Men have it harder because they have to go through rejection more.

Relying on too much technology and social media.
Head games.
Insecurities.
Need for instant self gratification.

Also it's not about who has it harder. Both men and women have their struggles. In my personal experience, I just don't connect with a lot of people. I don't consider that a struggle. It just is. According to other people I should be dating or have had a handfull of bfs by now.

All women need to do is pick out a good guy and be good to him (not always easy but the many girls who are approached a lot shouldn't find it that tough). Many more options as well with OLD.

Men need to find a good, available woman, make all the moves and convince her that he's worth giving a chance to, which is a lot tougher overall.
