It seems like the methods that would have a better chance of lasting bonds are trending down, while more shallow stuff is in the rise.
Meeting through friends would, you’d think, mean there are some similar values and interests, as well as social circles, which would all serve as a decently solid foundation. That’s dropping (probably because friendship in general seems to also be on the decline), while stuff like meeting in a bar is going up… which is generally more associated with hook up culture.
Those seem like depressing trends.
Why do you say so?

Considering the extreme gender disparity of online dating, I’m inclined to agree. Funny how no one cares about that inequality.
No one cares about any inequity where men are on the losing side.
Male rape: exists
Comedy writers: oh man this would be a hilarious scene in a movie
A portion of men have no control over their sexual desires so I can’t say I blame those people for not caring.
Huh?
How is that relevant?
