Back to the Future
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week, Laney discussed the ways dating has changed over the last ten years and the impact online dating has made. This made me wonder about the future of dating and relationships. If we continue with current trends, and perhaps brace for more dating trends, how will the gender dynamics continue to change?
Will women pursue men more or less?
Will we still want to get married or will more of us decide to cohabitate first?
Do you think we will have more Brad & Angelinas - having children and sharing custody? Or will there be more traditional couples like Will and Jada Smith - married with children?
What about gay unions?
If you could predict the dating scene of 2017, how would you describe it?
There is already one dating trend among single women that I remember reading about a few years ago. Apparently, some single women decided hit the snooze buttons on their biological clocks, so to speak, by freezing their viable eggs. Supposedly, this took the “pressure” off so that they didn’t feel that they had to pick any Tom, Dick, or Harry to marry, just to procreate in their 20s. They feel that it buys them more time to casually date, without the expiration date looming on their ovaries.
What are your thoughts about this? Have you met any women who decided to take this route? Did it change their dating habits and attitudes about the dating scene?
