To me hookup culture turned dating into a highly competitive sexual marketplace dominated by top tier men who get to experience the majority of women in their youth. These men have plenty of options and will never settle so women end up sharing them en masse.

Young men disillusioned whose only access to women is sending money to them. A growing resentment of the opposite gender inevitably brewing inside them.

Women approaching the end of their fertility panic settling or completely unable to lock down a suitable partner. A growing resentment of the inadequate men available to them at that point.

When I was a kid everyone knew the man or woman who didn’t marry. It’s becoming commonplace. Most marriages end in divorce because the race never seems to end and the grass seems to be greener.
