New data shows 50%+ of young people in America don’t have a romantic partner

[Owes]

Austin Spivey, a 24-year-old woman in Washington, has been looking for a relationship for years. She’s been on several dating apps — OkCupid, Coffee Meets Bagel, Hinge, Tinder, Bumble. She’s on a volleyball team, where she has a chance to meet people with similar interests in a casual setting. She’s even let The Washington Post set her up.

“I’m a very optimistic dater,” Spivey says, adding that she’s “always energetic to keep trying.” But it can get a little frustrating, she adds, when she’s talking to someone on a dating app and they disappear mid-conversation. (She’s vanished too, she admits.)

Spivey has a lot of company in her frustration, and in her singledom. Just over half of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 — 51 percent of them — said they do not have a steady romantic partner, according to data from the General Social Survey released this week. That 2018 figure is up significantly from 33 percent in 2004 — the lowest figure since the question was first asked in 1986 — and up slightly from 45 percent in 2016. The shift has helped drive singledom to a record high among the overall public, among whom 35 percent say they have no steady partner, but only up slightly from 33 percent in 2016 and 2014.

The internet has made it far to easy to simply move onto the next at the drop of a dime whenever you want to bounce.

The internet & social media has also made people have a lack of communication skills in person. Flirting & courting in person is a challenge now for most now.

FWB...friends with benefits. People are having sex, they just aren't locking anyone down.

Exactly


I think everyone is holding out or looking for the next best thing rather than stick around with their FWB

Don’t get me started on the validity of these stats.

“...according to data from the General Social Survey released this week...”

This is called BIASED statistics or CONVENIENT sampling.

God is good.
The problem isn’t romance; they are looking to be saved and validated. Passing up good things for the next new thing. Same shit men do but wasn’t affecting women like it is now. Women got it all now: the titles, the jobs, money and cars, but the men are past the nonsense. Most men WANT to be romantic. I’ve never met a man who doesn’t. But when enough of us catch on to being played or used, we take romance out until it’s deserved. We was cool with taking em places and spoiling em. I had no issue spending money or time, but I’m not sharing my time with her phone or friends. Today’s female could never leave the house without their phones. They would die. I forget my phone all the time, in the house and in the car. I just shrug and keep it moving. Main reason I dumbed my chick was out time was never ours together. She was replying to messages or checking it when it chimes. Took the romance out of everything we did. She used to tell me her exes weren’t romantic. I soon saw how she was the issues not her exes. These women have romance at their feet, but they covet validation over it.
