How Modernity Affects Dating
Modernity has totally changed the dynamics of dating. More and more people are getting older without having partners.
Women earn like men now and that has skewed the dynamics. A woman doesn't look for a man when she has money, she looks to upgrade her wardrobe, travel and generally enjoy life.
When a man makes money, he starts thinking of getting a woman and starting a family. Unfortunately, there are less jobs for men now as people even prefer to give women jobs, therefore leaving more men unable to start a family and more women unable to get partners.
Another worrying fact now is the shaming of men who try to approach women.
It's either they are called broke or creeps or something derogatory. Most men have now lost the art of trying to 'toast' a woman. They prefer to stay on their own. Ironically, same women are now complaining of lack of attention from men.
The number of 35 years and above single men and women is alarming. There is a correlation between marrying at old age and the increase in children having developmental issues, something that was rare in the past.
Some people actually think that this may be an advantage as it will reduce the overpopulation in the world especially in Nigeria. Like all things, everything has it's advantage and disadvantages.
