[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problems that have always existed have increased to an extreme degree. There has always been looks and money obsessed people it’s just more visible and accepted now.[/quote]

This^. Most people dated and married people they met at school, college, work, through friends etc.

There weren't unlimited options to swipe on apps. There weren't unlimited supply of images of lives of beautiful, handsome, wealthy and famous, unlike today's Instagram, TikTok etc.

People were always shallow, just worse now. [/quote]

DS is 22. He didn't date at all in HS and just a little in college (said he wanted to keep his focus on school). Had zero interest in the apps. He's been out of school since May, working full time since June, regularly goes out to bars and does other things with a tight friend group. He'd probably do fine on the apps - [b]6'2", fit, college grad who makes good money[/b] - but he wants to meet people in person. He started focusing more on dating and now has a girlfriend. His best friend/roommate is into the apps, although from what I hear him talk about (we've known him since middle school and families are friends) it's all about having a girlfriend, not sleeping around. He's always been a serial monogamist -- since first having a "girlfriend" in middle school, he doesn't go long being single.

I don't see this looksmaxx thing among the many college-age guys I know through DS and my friends' kids.[/quote]

Young men like your son are not the target of this content. Looksmaxx/Redpill/incel type content attracts boys who are already struggling. Men lacking social skills, mental health issues, or low or unemployment tend to latch onto this content. [/quote]
