Well, it's sort of an interesting thing, right? I'd suggest that perhaps the confluence causing this is: 1. The people in society historically tasked with making the first moves in courtship having a ready and handy (ha) alternative to expending great effort for sexual gratification. 2. The people in society historically tasked with receiving courtship proposals being exposed to a vast marketplace via online dating and mass media and devaluing local suitors. 3. The people in society historically tasked with receiving courtship proposals being bombarded constantly with messages of fear and victimization, to the point where any suitor is often seen first as a threat. At least for people who are primarily socialized online and on social media, say Millennial college students today and five years ago, there is a vast disconnect between how dating and fucking is portrayed and propagandized, and how it is actually practiced.
