re: Has the dating scene gotten worse lately?

Because they can get dates whenever they want them they have this mindset that they just have to keep looking. The perfect one is out there. Any time they have to put in effort or work through a conflict they use that as an excuse to move on. What they think they are going to find doesn't exist.

So they go through this cycle of finding a good man, getting close to pulling the trigger on marriage, serious issue that are normal on operating in tandem arise, and instead of changing anything about themselves they leave and restart the cycle. They are so used to being independent, the Independence is keeping them from finding a happy marriage.
