Why is it so hard for young adults to find good partners?

Why is it so difficult for young adults to find suitable and sincere partners?

The culture of instant gratification, the in-person awkwardness after so much screen time, the imbalanced male-female ratio at colleges, the idea that you have to have all the boxes checked before settling down, the decline of social pressure to get married and have children, the ideal of your partner being your all-in-one emotional, economic, physical soulmate...

Is it harder than before?

Or are people just pickier? Or busier? Or constantly on screen so they're not socializing as much?

I met my husband at 19. There are drawbacks to that too.

People are pickier,.and UMC and rich people are even pickier than others, usually pushed by their parents to find only the absolutely most perfect spouse.

Also, lots of men are.now addicted to p*rn and regular sex isn't exciting enough anymore.

My kids aren’t interested in LTRs at the moment & have said as such.

“People are pickier” may have benefits. There is a thread about terrible parents who put their kids last after a divorce. Hopefully, such people today won’t be settling for each other and having unwanted kids due to social pressure.

You left out collapsing fertility. The best part.

I guess partially because everybody is looking for instagram worthy looks, finances and lifestyle.

People don't like to be inconvenienced, and they have been told they should not ever feel inconvenienced.

Having a partner, even a great one, is inconvenient at times.

There is evidence that microplastics and leaching from our constant use of plastics might contribute to infertility, as well as other endocrine problems.
