As a middle-aged guy myself, who's been married twice, I can certainly say things were a lot more, relaxed, by far. I mean, during our time the internet blew up, AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe (let's see who the hell remembers that here) so Chat rooms were a thing. No Skype, no nothing. Everything was still so new. I've been to about 11 states because of chat rooms meeting girls from online (one of them became my first ex wife after a few years of marriage) it was new, it was, almost innocent and awkward. Now there's smartphones, Tinder, AFF, I mean damn, the world got itself too damn fast.
But anyway I agree, things are much easier these days for younger people. I know I had to work like hell for it, now it's just, pick up an App, find a girl, screw said girl, rinse, repeat.
No thanks. I had my fun. I miss it. I missed out on a big chance with a girl I really loved. But not getting into that.
To each their own, right?
