Hey there wondrous ladies of the internet. The world has never been so difficult to navigate for dating. Our parents like to call us 'entitled,' but that's only because they had it so good. Booming economy, no cell phones, and you got married to the first person you dated and didn't bat an eye. It wasn't even possible for someone to 'ghost' you because of the lack of phones. You made plans with someone in person, and if they stood you up, that was the end of that. It was the era of people actually hiting on each other in person, not just on apps.

Without the apps, people didn't feel this empty, existential, endlessness regarding potential partners. With dating apps, you always feel like you're second best to someone else. There's always someone else smarter, hotter, more successful, funnier, more exciting, and with this sense of endless options, it's no wonder none of us can just pick our person and find love in a simple way. So instead of dwelling about the frustrations of modern dating and scrolling for the umpteenth time to find no one interesting, scroll these hilarious dating memes and laugh about it instead of crying.
