I've never read an article on this that really rang a bell for me. I think the new culture simply sucks at relating to one another. That old dream from the past twenty years of people dying to relate to another, has evaporated and we're fumbling in earnest attempts to open up to one another. The dating apps are an advanced form of speed dating which used to be a niche thing for people who were honest, busy and knew what they would want in a relationship. I.e. people in their 30s. With infinite supply of partners on apps, stakes feel low and disapproval is amplified. A woman hit on me whilst I was walking the dog and I was so deep in thought about work, I didn't even realize. She looked dejected walking home and I felt bad for her when I caught up to myself. We are not as setup for relating to spontaneous, awkward and authentic human desire as we were before.
