The pressure of like finding the one, finding yourself all through this intense romance love is also like, oh, it's like that's also not quite right for me either.

declined let's talk about weddings like the wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar industry across the world and it's not slowing down didn't we find that stat that was like it's actually getting more expensive it's actually going up the graph not only that like even in a smaller sense well it's not even a small sense but like love songs in general like most songs that we hear today are like literally about love and finding love and finding your true self so

There is a huge, huge impact on all of this coming up to today's society.

And potentially preying on people's vulnerabilities.

If we keep getting told this message of like, you'll never be happy, you'll never be complete, you'll never feel truly okay with your life unless you experience and find this love.

So then that messaging as well, like the pressure of that is intense.

Okay, so taking all of this in mind, especially that romantic era and especially how we've lived in this society for the last...

couple of decades and felt the pressure of like finding the one.

I don't know about you, but I feel like where we're at right now, we might be going into like a post romantic era where people are really disillusioned by the idea of love.

dating apps massively shaping that technology massively shaping that and in some ways if we're going to go with like the western kind of culture of it all a lot of western countries kind of leaning a little bit more conservative now and that's sort of changing that needle and pushing it the other way whereas before like you know in the romantic era it was like it doesn't matter about um your status in society i don't care if you're poor i want to marry you for love

now I don't know about you but I kind of feel like it's swinging the other way a little and people are like well actually I do deserve a bit of financial security I do want a bit of stability and those things do matter to me in a sense obviously I think I don't think we'll ever shake the idea of like romantic love being not important anymore like I think we'll always feel that way as humans because we're now able to like express ourselves way more freely and

In, let's say, most places, a lot of cultures, you can't do that and you get persecuted for it, especially if you are not in a heterosexual relationship.

But like, I feel like we're free to do that.

And that's always going to be kind of important to us as humans.

But I don't know.

Like, what do you think?

Do you think like post-romantic era is a thing?

So yeah, it's really fascinating.

It is interesting.

And I feel like there's so many multiple things going on at the same time.
