Nowadays, I feel like relationships are forced over text and media. Many couples instead of being together, will facetime or text. With new technology, it has allowed people to be dishonest and not be true to eachother. My opinion on the image is, relationships are often products of money. I strongly believe the impact of technology and socialmedia have a negative effect on relationships.
I definitely agree with what Robert said. Technology isn't making stronger face-to-face relationships because there is a lot of new technology that provides ways to connect without ever seeing the other person. For me, this image reminds me of the standard that men are always spending money on women. As a feminist, knowing other feminists, women don't really fight this one. We are quick to fight literally everything else, but we let this one go because it benefits us. However, I think it is ridiculous that men are expected to pay for their date. I understand that sometimes men want to be the one to pay, but college students don't always have the funds to do this. And because of that, I feel like less people, specifically men, want to have strong intimate relationships. From my point of view, I feel like one of the reasons that more men than women are on dating sites, like tinder, is because it's a way to just hookup. There is less of a chance that you'll have to spend any money at all.
All of you guys are men, and I don't know your relationship status'/sexual orientation, but would you all be more likely to commit to a relationship if you didn't feel obligated to pay for your date? Does that even play a factor?
I'm actually genuinely interested in what you guys think.
To respond to you Karlee, I don't speak for all men but for the portion that I do speak for which is most of my friends here at Monmouth university we would all give you the typical guy answer that you would expect. We defiantly enjoy things like tinder because it is easy and we get to walk through all of the red tape of a relationship. There are a lot of girls out there that are worth getting to know but there are a lot of guys out there like me who are extremely busy getting an education and doing all sorts of things on campus that we just want to avoid all the commitment and time. So to answer your question I guess paying for dinner to me isn't the main factor, it is more geared towards the commitment part that most guys struggle with and is what plays a huge factor in dating and relationships.
