Shouldn’t it be easier than it used to be? There are so many new ways to meet people, so many technologies that help people find others to date, and there is more freedom than ever to be able to date whoever you want, and even marry who you want. So what makes dating more complicated today than it was just a few decades ago?
Not knowing how to manage the Power of Choice is what makes Dating so complicated.
The power of choice, without the awareness to know what to do with it, is what is leading entire generations to misery. It is a misery so great, that it is even worse that being in a system of oppression that meets basic needs.
What is missing right now is basic education on how members of society must address the abundance of choices they have when it comes to love, sex, dating and relationships, and teach them relationship management skills.
Social norms (a.k.a. mores) are the expected codes of behavior that are considered acceptable in a society. Once upon a time there were social norms that dictated what each person was expected to do, and what roles people were brought up to perform based on their gender. For example, a number of years ago, a man could only marry a woman, a woman could only marry a man, homosexual behavior was outlawed, fetishes were considered deviant behavior, sex before marriage was frowned upon, living together without a marriage license was called living in sin, divorce was only permissible in the most extreme of cases (and even then may have been discouraged), seriously dating more than one person at a time was taboo, and gender roles limited people’s choices about what would be career options and familial duties.
Today, those social norms have been removed. People have CHOICE. The power to choose: who they partner with, what gender to partner with, legally change their own gender, how many to partner with over the course of their lives, if they want to terminate a partnership, and even choose not to enter partnerships at all.
Today’s singles and couples have unlimited power of choice as to how they can manage their relationships and sex lives, but are not taught how to manage that power. It is not the choice that is a problem. It is that people do not have the education that goes with managing that choice. It takes self-awareness to help them sort out the massive abundance of choices. They must also CHOOSE to seek out that education from a credible source
