The Evolution of Love and Dating in a Capitalist Society

In today's capitalist society, the concept of love and dating has evolved significantly. The emphasis on independence and the shift away from marriage being a survival necessity have played a role in this evolution. There is a historical basis for the current state of love, which involves a change in societal norms over time. Unlike in the past, where getting married at a young age and having children quickly was the norm, contemporary society values recognizing red flags like toxic behavior and narcissism in relationships. This shift in relational discourse is viewed positively as it encourages a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play in relationships, rather than simply following societal expectations on autopilot.
