so here's an interesting thought I had today, are relationships today (marriages, bf/gf.. etc) different than they were say, 20, 30 or even 50 years ago?
I will expand on this..
Do you feel that people are more critical of their potential partners? less accepting of who people are?
Does everyone seem to have less trust outside of their families? (heck even some within their family)
A man who is single and looking for a potential Mate seems to have a much harder time in finding someone who is compatible with them. Someone who is open to the ideas of a strong relationship.
Now I was not alive back in the 50's 60's and most of the 70's.. and I certainly was not too concerned about relationships during my first 10-15 years of my life. so basically scratch the 80's as well. But I seem to get the idea that forming and developing a relationship in the days pre-technology, pre-internet/computer, pre-cell phone/Iphone was easier and required less effort to do so.
Young Adults seemed to have less range of activities to do! many of them went out on a weekend , Friday or Saturday.. perhaps even both days and went to a party, dancing, clubs, movies.
There was no Internet to go home to! They didn't have video games to sit around all day with.. or Social websites to visit, Dating sites to check out hundreds of "Potential" mates.
I feel that today with all the distractions and things to do by yourself, less and less of us are going out there and making the effort to find people out there!
Maybe I am wrong! if you feel that this isn't exactly true by all means please let me know and correct me!
I guess the way things have been for the past so many years that people are changing and their behaviours and thoughts and ideals about the opposite sex.
I for one have felt less and less confident that the right gal is out there.
