Is hookups and fwb the new normal?

from my experience it seems that my generation not a lot of people are interested in an actual relationship. they either want hookups or fwb. has long serious relationships and marriage just fallen out of the picture? I can't tell you how many guys have contacted me but when I tell them I'm not interested in fwb they go silent. could just be the attitude of the USA but has anybody else noticed or experienced this?

I guess this is the new normal (which is quite sad in my opinion) ppl donโ€™t want to put in effort for a relationship or a bond anymore, Iโ€™ve dealt with stuff like this many times, especially on this app smh

Hookups aren't Part of new normal,there are there since ages but the Trend for FWB increased a lot and Also the percentage of people interested in marriage has drastically fallen over the years. May be that's because most of us do not believe in permanent things anymore..

I think it definitely is a lot of what people want. No hate to the ones looking for it, assuming they're making sure the other person is looking for short term too, but it does make looking for relationships for the ones in it for the long run a bit more difficult. I'm okay with not going down the typical long term relationship norms, but I still want to have a deep and lasting bond with a partner

Hook ups and fwb are nothing new, they've always existed. They used to just be called "affairs" because the old "normal" was forcing young adults to marry far before they're ready. Don't weep for a freer generation.
