Dating was a lot easier. No need to looksmax, heightmax, gymmax, moneymax. No unleashed hypergamy, no carousel riders and no monkey branching. Or if they existed they were (rightfully) shamed and people would known them as damaged goods All you had to do was be a good man and you'd find someone. I know several fathers who'd be incel if they were trying to date today, mine included.
The economy was infinitely better. You could support a family of 5, buy house, car, vacations on a single salary of a simple job. Old economy Steve memes really get this right. They could move out at 18. No rat race to find a great job too, just show up, give a firm handshake and you'd be hired. There's an old show called Married... with Children where the main character is this boomer parent of 2. He works as a shoe salesman, has a house, hot wife, family, car, dog and was shown to be a loser. That's how easy it was for boomers.
