No. Not exactly. It’s more of a cultural thing. I think dating apps, social media and Covid changed the cultural landscape.
Had I been born later than I was, maybe I’d be burned out and angry too. But we had to actually meet in person and get to know each other before we dated. Now it’s just some algorithm matching random people

We stopped romancing people and started romantisizing the idea of people. 

And, alot of us are walking around with debt stress, working to work more, because we can't afford to do anything else. 

Anyone without familiar support (a good many) has pretty good odds of running into extortive bs (often from their families). So, they don't plan on buying a home and having kids. The ones that do live in debt and fear for their children's well being.

The dating dumpsterfire is the least of societal issues facing people aged 20-40 right now.
