>>4352Agreed somewhat, I feel like people are too desperate because they think they won't have other chances if they fuck up (and with alienation how it is, that's reasonable) so they try to speedrun the dating process, don't open up enough, accept unfulfilling pairings and just try to breed because that fits the suburban dream of exponential population growth in unscalable vehicle-centric city layouts, further increasing that alienation in a feedback loop.
If you go outside more than most, especially community organisation activities, you're gonna have better chances though. Probably one of the better ways available rn to overcome that.
