"It's fifty shades of polygamy out there," said Maurice. "I keep hoping that rumours of the death of longterm monogamy are greatly exaggerated... But all I hear is the funeral march. What happened to love? What happened to true romance?"
Danny went on, "Probably the largest single factor in building a strong civilisation is monogamy. Online dating, dating apps, encourage all forms of polygamy. Their AI run algorithms favour it. So, call it ENM or whatever you want, it's polygamy without the legal paperwork or any safeguards (especially for women). Once upon a time monogamy was assumed, it was the default setting of our culture. We should be getting back to that, not embracing the merge of Pokemon and STDs - "Gotta catch 'em all."
A lot of online dating is close to free-prostitution - all the person wants is free sex and they have little or no interest in getting to know the other person. Culture needs fixing. We all need soul mates and partners who stand by us no matter what - all this "fast culture" - where did it get us?
Added to that, the real intention of a person must be spoken of for achieving true consent, otherwise it is a form of rape with lies and manipulations being the "drug" of choice.
I see your world of online dating; but whatever happened to trusting the universe to make the right introduction?
"Online dating is so sick, I'm totally slaying it, nailing a different partner every weekend."
Yeah, you advertise yourself in this box between adverts for lawn-mowers and lipstick.
In a world where people have the same reactions to people as they do to objects, it's little wonder we sell ourselves in the same way we might flog a second hand car.
Yup, enter your details into the meat-market and you'll get a meeting soon; just keep in mind that everyone wants it to become a "meating" super quickly. That's online dating - its just consensual free-prostitution at best and predatory sex at worst.
Yeah, they have an app for everything now, even spreading STI's... no... wait... yeah, they just call that "online dating." Well, ha ha, you what they say... "Gotta catch 'em all."
