That's because you have foresight and experience in dating, so it makes sense to us not to want to ever be involved with how dating works these days. Someone who grew up only ever knowing today's methods of dating will not deter someone who is young and probably super horny from trying a ton of new experiences for themselves. It's all they got!
Yeah, you have a point here. And it's sad for them. I'm still surprised new ways of dating have not already started to surface as an alternative to that circus/shit show (at least that's what it looks like to me, from the outside).
Maybe I should also say that even when I was young and single I was not much into the dating scene like it's most commonly understood (aka going out, spending money on fancy clothes and stuff like that just to impress as many people as possible). I was more the kind of dude wasting my time (and money) with books, spending time in book shops and in public libraries and with the girls I could meet there. And like me those girls were not obsessed with the brand of clothes we were wearing or the car I was driving.
