Discussion Youngcels, I'm curious to know what your impression of the Millennial dating scene was like compared to your own

[Nordicel94]

I mean by the time you became adults, dating apps had been mainstream for a long time and Instagram and Snapchat were established as ways to communicate romantically. What is your impression of how things were different for people who were teenagers/young adults in the 00's and early 10's. Do you think we had it easier?

 

[kaijicel]

they probably had it easier, women were also less picky back then i think

 

[Icedancer_333]

Yes but it was probably still bad in your time. The average girl in my grade has about 800-3k instagram followers while most men have 150-400. They have so many more options in this day in age but social media still existed back then. Boomers were really the ones who had it the best

[Fevet]

A whole lot better and less hypergamous where I live

 

[AtrociousCitizen]

It was definitely a bit better but it was still bad.

 

[joocel52]

It was better, already problematic but far better

Yeah Instagram came out when I was in High School but didn't become big until after. Back in the early days people would just post pictures of trees or their dog. There were no stories. Facebook was the main platform for everyone. People would add people they liked in school as friends and try to chat them up, but there was no way to really show status other than uploading pictures from a High School party and getting many likes on the photos.

it was easier if you were NT and not a truecel

 

[RechargedSamsung]

Probably slightly easier before 2010

My space and facebook where big but wasnt really consuming them 24/7

There was this chart of how the high school male virginity rose up post 2008 when first smart phone came out

You youngcels would be scared how FAST this all changed When I was a teen in 00's and early 10's, we had no Instagram and people only had facebook pages to communicate about homework with classmates and talk to some local friends, and that was it. Foids were dating normies right and left.
It only took a couple years to turn from bearable to that level of shit.

I can't even fucking begin to imagine what boomer dating life looked like. They probably just only had to walk out their door to have a stacy instantly landing on their dick. Or at least pretty close to that.
