| We live in an attention deficit, instant gratification society…leading us to think, which relationship can I get what I want the quickest in? Romance? Sex? Friends with benefits? |
Technology may help you find a mate, but that could be the number one reason you lose a mate.

A lot of women said, “I thought I’d go along in my life and a great guy would just fall in my path. Because isn’t that how it happens?” And then they’re shocked. |
It is not possible to talk about the changes in the way people are getting married without a discussion about what’s happened to women over the last 20-25 years. |

I think Americans value marriage more than ever before and they’re not going to enter it just because of social expectations. |
We have this idea that we have to be perfect…we have to look perfect, be with the perfect person, and be perfectly happy. This quest for perfection puts too much pressure on relationships. |

Most people don’t realize, it’s very difficult to meet someone once you’re out in the workforce working so hard. |
We have much higher expectations now - for happiness, romance, adventure - than ever before... and this also happens with our relationships with another person. |

| Guys are more interested in finding a short term relationship that can lead to a long term relationship. Women are interested in starting out with the prospect of a long term relationship. |
(Lyrics from “Too Many Men”): If he’s not caring, romantic and sharing, I’ll simply trade him in for another kind. A new, improved model, assembled abroad... with a remote control. |

| If men could just hang out with a woman for... years, they would. There's no reason for a guy to get married, he would just hang out. |
There are now 18 states and more than 300 cities in the US where unmarried people head up a majority of the households. That's a huge figure! |
