Dating has become material
I’ve had this experience over the last few years and it’s really clarified the dating scene for me.
Online dating is essentially garbage, and what you experience, at least from a male perspective is incredibly superficial. It doesn’t contain any substance because you’re not dealing with a real person in the same sense that you would if you went to meet someone at a bar. It’s become very antisocial and allowed people to become more antisocial.
Being antisocial is for some considered a personality disorder. This is encouraged through online dating. In addition it devalues their humanity. People are no longer people, but rather a commodity and an option, rather than a real flesh and blood individual.
It’s also given very attractive or “desirable” men the ability to take any woman they want and then use them and throw them away like a toy. The same goes for women where they have been told that they deserve the top 1% of men, and they shouldn’t settle for anything less.
This has created a serious issue, because people then become disappointed. Men who aren’t in that small percentage feel alone, ignored, not attractive, and uninteresting. Women then feel slighted because they feel as if they’re not getting what they think the deserve, and are being used and thrown away.
I don’t see much value in this, it makes me very angry that this is what it’s become. I’ve been out of the dating market for some time, as I’m in a long term marriage, but I do feel bad for those who are still in that situation, and are feeling let down by it.
I understand it’s not the 60s or 70s, as much as I might like it to be socially. Yet it doesn’t excuse the situation that has been both created and sold to people. It’s unfair, and devalues humanity in that realm.
