Social media has made relationships way to difficult. I'm in a relationship where you can't just drop everything and go and see the person you love. It's not a long distance relationship, it's a short distance relationship. However, I know a lot of people that do the distance thing, long or short and you can absolutely argue that social media and technology has made these relationships a great deal easier by giving you the opportunity to never be out of touch with anyone. 60 years ago, pre Facebook, there wasn't this ease. Relationships were based on something else, people meant forever. You couldn't log onto Tinder and find a companion 10 minutes down the road who sells himself to you with 4 (specially selected) photos. Three of which are of a group of friends so you have no idea which he is and the other is a mysterious topless shot which cuts off his head. Then, you glance down to read the bio, 'my girlfriend is shit in bed so I wanna bust nuts behind her back'. *Actual Tinder profile*. Thanks Gary, I'll be sliding left on this occasion. What happened to romance, courting and meeting people organically?!
Sure, you go back 60 years and there's not this 'great' movement of feminism and female empowerment but has that much really changed? How many female politicians can you name? And males? What about entrepreneurs? The ratio of males to female dragons in The Den or Undercover Boss? In the grand scheme of where we should be in 2015, almost 100 years after women were granted the right to vote, this is baby steps.
So what does the female movement have to do with getting a girl in 2015? Ask the guy that groped me on the train or the one that thought his hand belonged between my legs in a night club. Then ask yourself how much had actually changed or if it's just got worse? Is that how people are won over in the 21st century and what the fuck makes them think that's okay?!
