Love is dead and technology killed it

There are so many stupid articles like this floating around.

All these articles are just the authors frustration and them projecting their insecurities. If they don't want to text they can call. If the person they are interested in refuses to talk on the phone then that person probably isn't someone you would want to be with.

There are also still many people who feel a sense of rejection when they get rejected online. The type of people who don't feel like that are the type of people to approach people in public the wrong way and give off a strong vibe that usually scares off someone then they turn around and do it again to the next girl/guy they see.

This article is just someone who has having a negative experience and blaming it on text messaging. Phone numbers are still just as important as before.

You have to change your mindset in order to be successful.

"Why is each generation unhappier than the one before it? Why 50 years ago, did they not have a pill for everything? Yet people were happy. "

This is so blatantly untrue. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/02/study-each-generation-is-happier-than-the-last/272937/

As an aside, modern antidepressants were invented in 1955 (61 years ago).

This is the reason why I'm going to sell my iPhone and pick up an older phone strictly for making calls, occasionally texting and checking emails. Been spending way too much time on all my apps and having my face stuck in front of my phone. Hope it makes a positive change in my life.

The article does a decent job of explaining the importance of approaching face to face and being honest with others. Those of us that can do this will stand out from the ones that don't. Standing out in the crowd is the best way to be discovered.

400 likes on an Instagram photo validates someone's self-esteem.

Got it. Don't make your approval too easy

After sifting through the author's own personal biases and large generalizations about society, I'd say there are some valid points being made.

I sympathize with the article. 9/10 women are flakes, they'll give you their phone number and text for a few days with no intention of going on a date. I'd be surprised if one of the girls in my classes actually gave me a friendly hello instead of the 100 yard stare almost every waking moment. I'm not innocent either, I've lead girls on just to satisfy my sexual urges and now that I'm more mature I'm not entirely happy about it. Constant tech in our faces has definitely changed dating and our attitudes about sex and the opposite sex. I don't even bother anymore.
