The Impact of Online Dating on Modern Relationships

Online dating has changed the way people approach relationships, especially for younger generations. The emphasis on quick judgments and snap decisions has resulted in a transactional approach to dating, where people are more focused on finding the perfect match rather than building a deeper connection. This has created an inequality in the dating market, where the top 10% of men receive a disproportionate amount of attention, putting pressure on both men and women to meet unrealistic standards. Additionally, the dating culture perpetuated by media and societal expectations encourages people to quickly move on from potential partners if a spark isn't immediately felt. Overall, the rise of online dating has led to a decrease in household formation and a decline in deep and meaningful relationships.
