Difference in generations

[Deleted]

Had a conversation with my mom about this today. I'm 30, she's 60. We both agree that society has changed a lot and maybe this has something to do with the general lack of quality people out there today. Of course this is general, but it seems like years ago, even if people had less they were happier. It seems like people have less respect for relationships in my generation. I'm not saying they had no problems back then, but it just seems more prevalent now. People seem to be more obsessed with material things, sex, body image etc than they were in the past. It just seems "easier" to cheat these days as well...cell phones, Internet all of these things that didn't exist in the past.
Lately, the guys I've run across (even just coworkers/friends) seem so superficial, not family oriented and like horny 15 year olds. Maybe it's isolated and I'm sure decent guys are out there wondering where the decent girls are as well.
So do you think there's a difference between the generations when it comes to these things?

I don't think we're lacking quality people. I think technology makes it easier to spot the assholes, hence spotlighting their assholishness.

I also don't buy the whole simpler times argument. Sure, there wasn't Internet porn or reality tv. But there was polio and no heat or air conditioning. Given those choices, I'll take the kardashians.

There is a difference in generations, I agree. But not a lack of quality people. The "non-quality" ones just get more attention than they used to.
