in the 70s the expression ‘on the prowl’ described male behavior of teens and twenties a whole lot.
Guys generally wanted girlfriends. Social pressure to pair up was constant.

Dating behavior has collapsed.

Meanwhile, escape into screens has reduced in-person experience with friends and overcoming social fears.

The young generations are a great group in many ways, in my opinion, but i do think theyve been harmed by the above factors.
