Kickin’ with Kyra: Romance is on the decline
Romance is faltering due to new technology and casual mindsets, making it harder to create true connections.
True romance is dwindling as distanced and expendable connections become the norm. Dating apps facilitate easy swipes and quick decisions based on superficial features, while hookup culture limits the desire to truly like someone.
Technology adds a challenging layer to dating, allowing people to avoid face-to-face connections and instead compare themselves to others.
As a result, connections are being devalued, and distance is becoming more common. Factors like technology create an atmosphere where in-person interactions are no longer necessary, leading to a sense of distance that people become accustomed to.
Romance is on a dwindling path with distanced and seemingly expendable connections becoming a more normal mindset.
Author's summary: Romance declines with technology and casual dating.
