I sat this morning and viewed a Twitter comment...."The fertility problem is really a marriage problem. I know a lot of people who would have had children if they had found "the right person". (David Boxenhorn comment)
To which, the comment was: "There are fewer "right" people than at any time in history thanks to social media."By the time you are 25, and apply the appropriate fifty filter-process.....you've eased out around 4,990 of the 5,000 potential marriage situations.
By filters? I mean.....you took out the fragile folks, the dim-witted, the pronoun people, the folks who owe $90,000 in student loans, the weed-smokers, the people who have a one-page arrest record, the social media freaks who waste two hours a day dumping on friends/relatives, the Paranoid Schizophrenic folks, the overly religious, and the three-times divorced types (at age 30).
Would you have done this at age 25....in 1985? No. You might have three filters at best, and the only constant was crazy-crazy folks were definitely out, and overly consumed religious folks were questionable.
