New Era of Dating

   Dating has drastically changed over the last several decades. In the mid-1900s dating was an occupation involving face-to-face communication between two individuals. People could choose among potential "mates" from their community/neighboring towns, and there was only two genders and one sexuality publicly accepted. 
   Over time, options have increased due to the significant development of technology and freedom. Technological advancement lets people lead a satisfactory relationships with individuals on the opposite side of the planet by using Skype, FaceTime, and PillowTalk (a pillow that glows when both people are laying down and they can hear each other's heart beats), etc. Also, the expansion of social media has impacted the way we perceive others and the way we feel about ourselves. This constant comparison affects our emotional well-being and the contentment with our significant other. 
    Technology and equal rights has allowed people to become open about their preferences. Knowing somebody out there feels the same makes it easier to express yourself and be part of something bigger. Preference refer to gender (others and your own), monogamous, polygamous, age, and activity.
