"Dating is like having a job interview." nailed it.

[ZeddMT]

and this is exactly why the 80/20 principle in dating is such a contemporary issue. before people would just meet and connect, now people are afraid of commitment cause "i wanna see what the next guy has to offer"

[justabraziliansamurai]

tbh hookup culture is the reason now its hard

[mattacosta]

My wife and I have been married for a couple of years now and we are very different people. We love our differences and know that we compliment each other perfectly. I believe in large part that the reason dating now is so skewed is for a couple of reasons, a big one is that people are looking for that “perfect match” right away. It took my wife and I years before we got married to learn how to function with the other. The other MASSIVE piece (I believe) is that our strong, Christian faith has pushed us to have grace for each other and center our relationship not on our own wants or desires, or even the desires of the other person, but our faith and obedience in Jesus Christ. But hey, that’s just my two cents!

People are always thinking they can do better instead of trying to be/do better as pairs.

[JaylaBee]

Yes. And the most important questions aren't even being brought up. The ones that explore which values they have.

Anyone can make a relationship work if they have the same values, same goals, and aren't totally selfish.

[Cimlite]

Differences makes people stronger. It forces you to challenge your own views. People today only listen to people who think the same, they only date poeple who think the same... It makes weird ideas take hold and have more sway than they are actually worth.

[gabrielledonn]

It’s one thing to have reasonable expectations and standards while dating it’s a other thing to be asking for unreasonable expectations from people.

[antonioguerrerolopez]

In the end I still gotta be 6ft+ with abs and rich, which is fine I can be alone🤣

[nathangreen]

After 2000 everything shift like before then you could walk to a stranger and strike up a conversation. Being friendly wasn't threatening. Plus more groups up people got out so it was easier to meet people.

[jakd]

It’s difficult for a man, not a woman. When it comes to disadvantages in dating it almost unanimously applies to men.

[HanGhost]

The dating market is insane & has polluted the minds of current generations, they don't want to commit to anybody great because they think the perfect one is out there while back then your competition is a guy named John from across town but now your competition is 50 John's & 50 Micheals

[Danibuki]

The scariest thing to me isn't that you feel like killing yourself but the fact that nowadays it's normal to feel that way.

[oxford__em]

But some of them have the lowest expectations by saying they don’t expect someone to work, this, that, they don’t have to be healthy just happy like what?

[alexspivey]

Not having a phone to get up with 1000 different people helps too, really localizes you to your surroundings and the small town girls around. But nope not today, even the deepest southerners probably had a phone which can be used to dick hop across the land

[ethanelliott]

This is why I don't want to date it just seems to confusing

[misspoliticallyincorrect]

Theyve conditioned and programed modern western women that theres a "prince" out there somehwere who will meet all their expectations and anything less is settling when in reality theyve probably met and threw away partners who were perfect for them on countles occasions for the most insignificant trivial reasons, thus leaving them alone and single in the end. Every woman is told to believe theyre a ten and this creates unrealistic expectations in the dating world. Its one thing getting a man to sleep with you, but how many of them see you as wife material and have pursued you in that way?

[justbegoodlito]

Nowadays it’s offensive if you don’t want to date a online hooker it’s crazy out here

[timka]

Honestly y’all just don’t realise that in the older generation (boomers) they lived in the most prosperous time in any generation in any country ever. You just can’t compare the tw

[WCove]

I had expectations. Then I turned 40. If God miraculously leads a Christian husband around my age to me, I would be blessed. I am fed up with people insulting women like me because it's cruel and comes from a place of hurt and hatred. I have repented and I know I have worth in Christ. If you can't accept that, you don't deserve me, bye!😅
