Dating As A Millennial Is Screwed Up

[Mac Brown]

One thing I noticed about the young folk is that they simply don’t know how to get truly close to another human due to the technology they were raised in. This affects their romantic and work relationships

I see what you mean my passion is music as I work a home studio but I don't expect most people to have that level of dedication or interest like me, what makes become closed off though is when im interacting with someone and they decided to jerk me around and even after I tell them I don't have that much time I got work I need to finish. I value my time too much

we are one in the same then I was putting out 4 albums a year and probably for the past 15 years almost working nightly till 5am on music ... self taught at guitar and piano and shyt
and people will hit me up like "I'm bored do you want to do anything" hell nah I dont want to be bored with you. Then they wont understand you are literally here making music for hours. Same people ive known for years or even decades wont support shyt but if I put money up to throw it on the radio they wanna be friends all of a sudden. It's like a no win dynamic if you want to have actual people around you who care when caring is worth it. I 100% feel exactly what you're saying.

For me most of these do apply to how I date, except for 8.

It's probably easier said than done, but the bulk of these issues could be resolved if everyone was honest about who they are, honest about what they're after, and realistic with their expectations. As mentioned in the last point, trust is lacking, thus many people sorta play the game to protect themselves in a way. The fact of the matter is most those seeking a relationship generally want the same thing. It should be matter of matching personalities, values, and goals, but when there's no trust and honesty, it's hard to determine where people genuinely fall.

This is spot on. I've made it a habit to tell people upfront that I'm not looking for anything serious and just want to kick it and see where it goes from there. They're cool initially then signals and feelings get crossed.

There's a lot of young people who are satisfied just living their lives as they please.

But society still pushes the idea of a relationship being better than being single

Being satisfied and wanting to meet different people is much more different than seeking the person you want to spend the rest of your life with

A lot of people need to be honest about what side they really stand in

Now add the effects of Covid-19 on top of this.

If this is the case, add in Covid and your society will be Japan 2.0
