Pew Research "Nearly half US Adults say dating has gotten harder in last 10 years" What are your thoughts on current dating scene?

Late to discussion.

I haven’t been single since 2012. I intend to stick with my relationship until one of us dies.

If something happened (she died, or she committed an instant deal breaker breakup thing), I dunno if I’d try dating again.

I hear dating websites nowadays are all bots trying to sucker you into paying for premium access without delivering any human matches.

I think what I would probably do is continue living my best life, and if I ran into someone with whom there was mutual interest, great.

My dating life has literally evaporated in the last 15 years. Not a single date or even a match. Guys, be warned, getting married totally kills your dating game.

I've been in a relationship for the past 15 years... So probably not the target demographic for this question?

But for what it's worth, listening to single friends over the years, it sure sounds harder than it was back when I was dating (the online aspect of everything seems like loads of extra work).

Ten years ago I was ten years younger, which changes things. I think nearly any individual will say that it was better ten years ago because they were younger and hotter and hornier and had fewer aches and pains and responsibilities.

However, I will say that Lots of straight men have become actively red pilled, repellent, and unfuckable. I can get hookups, but I want to know I'm not inadvertently participating in a maga orgasm, so they need more vetting, which a lot of guys are unwilling to do (you know, the "u tryna fuk" as an opening gambit types).

It ain't great is what I'm saying.

Also note that

Dating is dead. Women beat it to death with dating apps.
