Do you really think dating used to be easy? I fail to see how "dating apps and social media" is the direct cause of the problems you mention, or that any of those problems are new to society.
Dating was definitely easier 20 years ago and I am saying this from the perspective of a guy that discovered that I was so big of an idiot in my early twenties and still had it very easy.
yes, I think dating used to be easier.
Think again. The age of Tinder has made this vastly easier - not harder.
Easier, perhaps, for finding initial dates, but harder for finding committed love.
Although not explicit, there is an undertone in the article implying an ultimate goal of persistence & stability - i.e., marriage.
