Romantic Relationships in Different Generations - Podcast #11

Romantic relationships sure have changed over the years and through the generations, or have they? While Millennial Z and Boomer X can only speak from the perspective of heterosexual men, each one can provide their personal experiences and observations with regard to meeting a potential romantic partner, dating, determining if a relationship is feasible, maintaining a romantic relationship and all the difficulties of each stage from an older man and younger man perspective. No doubt the entire dynamic and opportunities of dating or finding a romantic partner, even if for a night and perhaps especially if for just a night, have changed! With the explosion of technology in the last several decades, communication and information is literally at our fingertips and all of the time if desired. Has hyperconnectivity changed the game for you? Have social skills diminished or evolved in a positive manner since the 1980s? While it's far easier to potentially meet someone, is it easier to meet someone in a meaningful way or does it even matter as long as more opportunities abound for everyone? In the United States the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has stated that the marriage rate has dropped to an all time low since it has been tracked from the year 1900! Of course, divorces or the lowest it's been in many years, and you certainly can't get divorced if you've never been married, but why is that? Everything used to be far more personal, and the men seemed to be more aggressive in the past when initiating and pursuing a potential date, but is that true or just something that older women are experiencing due to older men simply being uninterested after previous relationships? It could be that younger women are feeling the same way the older women used to feel with regard to attention from men. Thank you for listening, and please subscribe for future episodes!
