Generation Y = Monogamy-less?
There have been a lot of epiphanies by Generation Y recently, about our love lives…”Monogamy and Marriage is dead”. For those of us born between the mid-80′s and early 2000′s, our love lives have been…shitty…for lack of a better word.
In earlier generations, you become of dating age and begin to search for your mate. This didn’t mean settling for the first person to come your way, but it was always a thought in the back of your mind that you needed to find a mate, get married, and start a family. You realized that life was bigger than you, and you were willing to work for your family life. And, most importantly, they weren’t afraid of their emotions. If a man cared about a woman, he wanted her to himself, and wasnt afraid to profess his feelings.
Today, it’s the total opposite. Our generation is the KING of, “it is what it is” relationships. We can have all the feelings in the world, but the idea of monogamy makes us cringe. We just love doing whatever we want, and if we get in a relationship, we can’t smash that cutie from the club tomorrow. Or hoe it out in Miami next month. We end up having these emotional ties into multiple people at a time, almost like having multiple relationships…but its only multiple because “the one” wont commit. Then, we have a group of people that we play games with. We’ll lie to them to get what we want and to gain THE POWER. Our generation is full of the selfish. This is like a nationwide game we’re all playing.
The interesting part, is that on Twitter and Facebook we all complain!! Do you know how many “The single life is for the birds” tweets I see everyday?!?!!
So…what does this mean for our future? A couple of things, actually. 
First, there will be a lot of single parents (as though we need more). See, while getting caught up in those few you really care about, you will stop using condoms, thus getting pregnant…either on purpose or not. And despite popular belief, that will not cause a relationship. It will cause anger and pain that hopefully doesnt transfer to the baby.
Then, everyone will become bitter. At a certain point, when you keep putting your all into a person and don’t get reciprocity, you get on “fuck the world” mode. Which isnt cute, btw. And it damages you for the time when a relationship will actually come.
Both of these outcomes=fail.
I wonder if our generation knows that they’re interfering with their future. When they’re 40 and decide FINALLY they want to settle down, they’re not even going to know how to me monogamous. Not to mention the potential 1-2 baby mama’s/daddy’s in the situation. But if they want to live their entire live like they’re 20, then do you, boo boo.
Sidenote-Excuse my bluntness, but men and women of my generation have all become hoes* and groupies**. We can’t blame lack of committment on that aspect, because that’s what we all have evolved to. We must adapt.
I’m not sure if I believe in blaming media for the actions of the masses, buuuttttt. I’m starting to consider it. Let me know your thoughts. 
*hoe-a promiscuous person
**groupie-The individual, or group of people, involved in obsessive adoration of entertainers such as musicians, actors, athletes, personalities, and even political figures. Behaviors are juvenile and influenced oftentimes by crush-like emotions or lustful sentiments, and often infringe the rights of the figure experiencing the attentions of a frenzied fanatic.
