Most people DON’T WANT RELATIONSHIPS: understanding the decline in romantic relationships

The rates of sex and marriage — especially among young adults — have fallen to historically unprecedented lows and show no signs of stopping. Why is this happening? My theory is that most people don’t really want relationships. Rather: they want what relationships can get them. And if they can get those things more easily, more cheaply, and more safely in other places than relationships, they will do so. In this episode, I make a case that this is precisely what men and women are doing, albeit in different ways.
