Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

I think the big influences in the past 20 years have been mass free online porn, dating apps that mislead people into thinking they can always do better, and social media. They have all had highly negative effects IMHO, though the last 2 have also had some positive effects too.

Were you young in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? Dating has been changing in every decade.

If you mentioned when exactly you were young, you may get more precise answers.

Jenny from Perth writes – my partner is the life of the party, women and men adore him. But at home, he gets angry at us for the silliest reasons and never nice words me or our kids, always putting us down. Should I stay or leave him?
