It's easy to read this as another shitty "millennial are ruining X" article that piles anecdotes on top of popular stereotypes, though it is maybe worth noting that marriage rates really are declining pretty quickly and consistently [0].

#3I am 34 year old male, Baltimore, MD. Read the article.
I feel sorry for the both parties.
By the time they reach 30, they will be cynical fuckers who don't understand what is family is for. It is impossible to have sex with different women(man) every week and not become cynical to the point, you don't give a damn.

If the whole "apocalypse" thing seems alarmist, consider that Japan's birth/death ratio has been Of course, that's only a real problem if our immigration policies continue deteriorating.

#7The appearance of a limitless supply gives the false confidence that a perfect match will be found. Technology, IMHO, has removed all courtship and romance out of dating. It woukd be interesting to see more of a Tinder of blind dates, no photos, and a requirement that you spend time talking on the phone or texting the perfect before you see their photo.

To add to the point.
I have couple friends, who are in their 40's. They find women on dating sites (anywhere in the US), arrange the "hook-up", buy the ticket, fly-in, have sex and fly-out.
None of them have a stable families. They are highly cynical people. Just fuck and get out.
Don't be like that. You will grow older, lonely, without families. Stable family is what you will keep you sane, once you reach 45. (Unless your Erdős)

At the same time, after 10 years of no interest in women and vice versa (I'm 30), and watching all my friends and workmates of both sexes go through so much turmoil in their romantic lives, I've become a bitterly cynical fucker. Of course, I haven't ever used any of these apps or websites - maybe I've been left by the wayside because of it. I'm just not interested in finding someone that way - I've no interest in a random hookup or a programmatic finding of a long-term relationship.
