That “Millenial dating is a sham” article is wack. Too many variables left out and to me it seems to riddle with biased and slight undertones of broken ego and not wanting to just enjoy the damn process. This isn’t the 1950s anymore.
First point about ghosting....sheesh I get it but tbh regardless of what the ghosting party does YOU do control and make the choice to feel whatever eventually the liability is no longer on the opposing party. They’ve moved on & you’re sitting wondering why when you have an ans.
The point about being hyper focused on sex...fam humanity always has been focused on it whether it was overt or covert that’s not a millenial issue nor the jacket that should be thrown on Us.
The piece about being in a race to care the least is relative. I feel sorry for those who don’t align with those who arent as transparent as them but tbh be transparent & live in your truth. There shouldn’t be any fear in that bc htf is somebody gonna attempt to weaponize who you
Are if you’ve accepted that truth already? Also have common sense to know what to divulge and what not and proper timing. We got common sense y’all (well I hope). Lol
The point on txting back fast and etc & being seen as desperate only happens when you’re interacting with somebody who doesn’t like you.
The point about us being overloaded with options that’s actually dope. I’m GLAD we have access to a plethora of dope mates Vs settling within the cesspool of ppl around our immediate surroundings who have failed us. Nothing wrong with that. Within these massive options ppl are
Still finding AMAZING mates who meet their standards that these same ppl who bitch about too many options manage to never meet and waste said ppls time. Adapt or move around to what fits YOU. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
The point about being content with being alone. That’s AWESOME. Folks are actually loving themselves and growing & not feeding into this ridiculous notion that having a fulfilled life means to adopt this monogamous system and settle down. Some folks don’t have that desire and
It’s completely fine. Respect the agency they have over their lives vs perceiving it to be a plague on the millenial dating scene. There’s still ppl wanting a partnered life.
The whole thing about the “grey” area in relationships & dealings. If more ppl stood firmly on their own principles and exerted absolute honesty towards ppl then there wouldn’t be this but ppl don’t own that right for themselves & get led on then wanna place blame. If you’re not
Happy being in the grey with somebody then move tf around and get what you rightly feel you deserve. Stop waiting on somebody to bring you yours. Demand and get vs whining and holding onto this woe is me mindset. Dating is too fun for all this madness.
The last points about accountability & being jaded. That’s valid but also we have to understand that we can hold folks accountable with how they deal with US & also hold ourselves accountable for dealing with stupid shit as well. We aren’t slaves to anybody.
If ppl just woke tf up and got happy and enjoyed the actual PROCESS of dating vs being so blindly focused on when and where the endgame was gonna come you’d be happier. The beauty in the shit IS the lessons & the psychology of seeing how ppl think in conjunction to what works for
You & what doesn’t. Sick of these Thinkpieces making shit seem so bad now like mee maw & them weren’t going through the absolute WORST for the sake of having a mate & a gang of kids just to end up unhappy, mean, traumatized and passing that fucc shit down. I’m Gucci bruh.
Millenial dating is dope. Just in how YOU choose to perceive it & how much you invest in YOU to bring forth the energy & timing that grants the desired result you’d like & prefer. There’s no formula for it. N your time is predestined so enjoy the ride don’t fight the current.
