What's really killing long-lasting relationships? - Episode 504 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley
Is it reality shows? Is it dating apps? Is it social media? Is it ADD? Is it all of the above? Jeremy Bradley wonders why so many relationships are failing nowadays. JB talks about how social media has given people unlimited access to almost literally everyone in the world. It"s no longer about finding someone near you because everyone is reachable. But because of that easy access, JB wonders if people will always be on the lookout for something/someone better -- just as they would be for their next job or car or house. Plus, reality shows have become so mainstream that dating and competing for affection (or "temporary TV love" as JB calls it) sets unrealistic expectations for romance. The needy and insecure contestants on Bachelor shows now use terms like "validated"/"validation" and "you make me feel seen" and JB says they"re not emotionally stable with themselves if they rely so heavily on someone to boost them up.
