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?

In my opinion it just seems that the world has moved in the direction of instant gratification. People don't want to take the time or effort to build a bond or work towards something over time.

it becomes normal in my country but it does not come along with sex-ed. So, it's increasing the number of HIV cases. I already give up in some dating app like T and B, because the guys will directly asked for S or N. Wow, looking for a normal relationship is getting harder

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.

I’ve always been attracted to intelligence, but when I get to know them better, they are emotionally unavailable and don’t know how to regulate their feelings, or navigate relationships :/ Does intelligence = emotionally unaware?? Or am I just meeting all the wrong guys?

Why is it that some people click immediately and others never will? You meet somebody new and it's like talking to a childhood friend. You meet others and it's trapped on the elevator energy. Why does this happen? What is behind this? (edited)

Love and Affection

It was a bright afternoon at Connaught Place, Delhi, where the air buzzed with the energy of city life. Amid the chaos of honking cars and bustling crowds, a quiet, heartwarming sight stopped me in my tracks. On the pavement, a young girl lay sleeping, her frail frame curled up on a piece of cloth....
