It’s the same for any country without internet. In Uruguay in particular, it’s considered extremely rude not to talk to the people next to you on the bus-most people don’t have their own cars and taxis are expensive. No one used their phones because there’s no internet. We never even took them out of rooms because our building was the only one with Wi-Fi 🤷🏾‍♀️. But also in that light, there were much less men who, how do I say this..only talked to you for the purpose of possibly dating or hooking up with you. And having that assumption to begin with is very out of place. It was authentic networking at it’s finest. Should you come back to the country, you’re expected to reach out and catch up-it’s very rude if you don’t. I’ve never seen so many men and women who were friends without expecting any “benefits”.

Every time I called my high school girlfriend's house I prayed that she picked up the phone. I hated when her older brother or her mom answered. It was awkward. I also had to wait until I was alone in the living room to call her. I didn't want to talk to her in front of my mom. I felt embarrassed. Sometimes I had to whisper when my mom was in the other room lol

With the minefield that finding a decent woman has become, let alone a good woman with Biblical foundations, on top of the fact that you cna be called a creep or have the police called on you or other false accusations, we just don't even bother approaching most of the time anymore. If you find a guy that you enjoy the company of, reach out to him first. This is the dynamic that the modern world has created. After you've reached out, the ball can be in his court, but if you want to make things happen then you're going to have to take the leap of faith.

He definitely has higher testosterone levels. Hafthor Bjornson is pretty close to my age, but he looks 10 years older just because of how high his testosterone levels are for strongman; as he switched to boxing, he started to look younger. Larry Wheels has a compilation of how steroid usage changed his face, and when lowering the usage, looked like he de-aged a decade. Also, men, historically, had higher testosterone levels, which contributes to the idea that young men in the 40s & 50s look older than young men nowadays. So, I would just attribute this guy looking older due to higher testosterone levels.

The difference is that back then, you had to leave your house to meet ppl. When you saw someone you didn't have to wonder if they lied about their age or used a 10 year old picture of themselves. You saw how they acted/ interacted and who the ppl astound them were. You had a conversation face to face and didn't have to figure out the tone of texts, emojis etc

And back then you had to wait, now it’s all so fast and people have no patience. They go mad if they are left with a read message and won’t get a response immediately and people feel like they have to justify themselves if they don’t reply right away. So sad. And the same reflects on relationships. People want it all and immediately. At the first thing they don’t like, next. It doesn’t work like that. They’ll never have a happy relationship or a relationship for that matter. I used to write letters to my friends who lived in a different city and had to wait a couple weeks to receive their response. Then mobile phones arrived with the text system. We were so excited as we could talk all the time. But in the end we didn’t really have much to say and it wasn’t as valuable. I mean when you had to write a letter, you would chose your words carefully and really think about what to say, because if you forgot to say something you had to wait to write it in the next letter.

I miss 1998. Pretty much all of the 90s. Life was more peaceful. I was in 6th grade. The world wide web was coming out. Schools had these colored Mac PCs monitors. It make this annoying sound. You couldnt be on the phone at the same time as the internet. Channel One News with Lisa ling came on every single morning at 1st period. We played outside all night. Riding our bikes. Going to mcdonalds and getting 35 cents cheeseburgers. I remember my friend had a little pager and that meant he had to go home when it beeped. We would rollerblade with our dog on a leash. Carry our cd players. Life was just more relaxed. I miss my childhood. If you liked a girl or boy at school. You just slip a note into their locker. Arcade was favorite place to be beside the roller rink. When you called a girl or boy you liked their parents would answer the phone. Which was nerve racking and scary. Blockbuster video and Hollywood video stores were the place to get the lastest movie rentals and video games for Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo. If you wanted to call for pizza you would open this big yellow phone book called Dex. Saturday morning cartoons. Power rangers. Teenage ninja turtles. Life with louis. Recess. Afternoon cartoons was big bad beetle borgs. Tiny toons. Hey arthur. Wishbone. Imagination station. Zoom come on and zoom. Bill nye science guy. For older kids there was tv station called the box where you could call to make music video request. They would place in captions if you wanted to send a message to a friend. People began getting caller ID boxes which would hook up to the house phone. If someone called it would show the number of who was calling. Also when it came to dating it usually be with friends that become more or a setup. A setup was when your family or friends set you up with someone they knew. Also blind dates and 3rd wheel dating shows were huge in the 90s. Most doctors carried pagers with them. For adults tv shows included Martin. Living single. Friends. NYPD Blue. In living color. ER. My mom made us watch ER. She had always thought George Clooney was a handsome doctor. They had abc family night tv which included boy meets world. family matters. Step by step. There was seinfield. Frazier. Major dad. Designing women. Home improvement. Ton of soap operas. Ahhh the 90s. Like this gentleman says everything was social connections.

I’ve been in a relationship for 10 years now and recently engaged… when I saw this video, my first thought was, “thank fuck I don’t have to date anymore.” It honestly seems terrifying and the lack of social integrity in my generation is an embarrassing reflection to where our society is heading towards.

Back then, you got 'stood up', now you get ghosted.

Nah, getting stood up is one person not showing up to a planned date (which stills happens) and ghosting still happened back then if someone just stopped calling or answering someone’s calls abruptly and without any explanation. There have always been and always will be selfish people and people who can’t handle confrontations lol Plus, I’m pretty

Modern dating is so discouraging, I know I’m not that hot looking but I do get a fair amount of matches and when I do they rarely respond past a few sentences and even a few sentences is rare, most of the time I get no response or one word replies and then that’s it if I’m super lucky. I always thought getting matches would be hard, when it’s actually mission impossible to simply get anyone to have a slightly normal conversation. 99.99999% of the conversations are me carrying it asking them questions, while they seem to ask me nothing and not care whatsoever. I wanna say I’ve given up but it’s far worse than that. I’m convinced I’m gonna die alone 😂😂

Don’t be discouraged it’s just how women are . Find a hobby and enjoy your life . If you need it that bad PFP . I wish I would have learned this years ago about relationships. The longer a man stays in one the more he loses .

You actually had to have courage and walk up to someone. Just as you are, no filters, no apps. Just you.

Modern dating is good if hooking up is the goal. If you’re trying to build a relationship with connection and true intimacy, it’s much harder. Dating apps in particular are terrible for that.

I want to listen to this person talking about just life and stuff.. for days... 😭😭😭 It was so soothing and his thoughts.. and the way he talks.. the flow.. the voice 🌹♥️

Man: "...last time I went on a date was in 1999" Sprouht: "That's when I was born" Man: "what's your mother's name?"

“There was something called social connections back then …..” absolutely nailed it! Dates were great, even the bad ones. They were character building and people could hold a proper conversation. To pull a girl you had like a 30 second window of first impression to get her number , it was exciting and awesome ! Now my friends spend ages looking at all their socials and picking the girls lives apart before even meeting them and this decides if you swipe left or right?! Sad

the moment he said "back then" made me feel super old cause 1999 was like yesterday for me, not 23 years ago.

I’m 47 and happily married and obviously missed dating apps and all that stuff. Dating apps, intellectually, make perfect sense. They certainly make more sense than going to a bar and hoping for an interaction. But I suspect what’s missing from the dating app experience, and again I don’t know because I’ve never used one, is that magic, spontaneous moment in an unexpected place where the last thing on your mind is meeting someone and with a single glance from them or in their direction, this person you’ve never seen before and don’t know, your whole body just goes cold. Things start to come up that I don’t know you can get from anywhere else…..

I love how he doesn't get triggered into going about how these youngings ruin everything or how tech = bad but actually went out of his way to say "idk if the change is good or bad, certainly has bad side effects like shallowness" like what a god, i don't even know him and i already love him And btw yeah he's essentially correct, modern social media allows more interaction with different people but also makes pretty privilege much more pronounced, essentially what happens is that pretty people end up with more dating options while kinda ugly people struggle more than in the past due to the domination that images have in the current predicament. Also yeah social media ruins social interaction but thats a whole different story, people are lonelier than ever

Homie said “social connections” 😭😭😭 I’m crying. So true though my dating life has improved so much more by getting off dating apps but it feels way more real which sucks worse when it doesn’t work out. No one wants to get hurt but you have to actually put yourself out there to get genuine connections

I think the bad part of the phone is, that you can google just about anything and often you believe it.. but back then people went into the world and get experience on their own, trying to find the answer to their question in real life. I think that was nice.

This guy sounded so wholesome. I couldn’t have agreed more with his mention of “social connections.” I’ve never been on a date, but there have been several occasions where people have ghosted me and it didn’t seem to be such a problem for them. I didn’t give it much thought until now when I heard him mention it being “awful.” Being in that moment-showing up and waiting for that other person only for them to never appear-was an internally gruesome experience. It hurt a lot. Social connections, with whoever you’re close to, do matter.

Dating apps ultimately have given us an unrealistic perception of reality, and so we get stuck with the “grass is greener” syndrome when the truth is there’s no such thing as the perfect person.
