I don't want to be that guy, but I think someone has to be that guy, so I'm going to be that guy who mentions that, yes, he thinks his generation is mostly fucked (ha!) when it comes to dating.
I’ve more or less accepted that it's very likely I’m not going to marry, I'm not going to have children, but I might own a house thanks to bitcoin, but I’m not even sure if I want that, also thanks to bitcoin.
But I'll be rich enough to fly planes for fun, so I guess I shouldn't complain? 🤔

Why? "Dating" is overbroad, so maybe that's what I'm confused about. Do you mean:
  • getting married
  • having a family
  • being in a stable long-term relationship
  • something else
I've read some Gen-Z stuff on the topic but it's never made a ton of sense to me, since the arguments have generally been non-economic ones, so I'd be interested in your perspective.

I should have mentioned that I know that, with this mindset, it’s basically a self-fulfilling prophecy, so I don't actually think like that all the time.
