Modern dating did not get harder by accident. The incentives changed.
In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Coach Greg Adams to discuss modern relationships, the decline of the manosphere, dating apps, marriage, feminism, passport dating, Gen Z isolation, college culture, child support, and why he believes many men are still relying on an outdated “hope strategy.”
Greg shares what he learned traveling through more than 30 countries and explains why dating in places like Brazil and the Philippines feels different from dating in the United States. He argues that social media and dating apps have expanded perceived options, changed relationship expectations, and made it harder for average men to compete.
The conversation also covers the 80/20 rule, why younger men are becoming more isolated, how online dating reshaped attraction, why marriage rates declined, and why Greg believes many popular red-pill voices have lost credibility.
Later, Greg discusses his own experience with family court, rising child-support demands, Paul Pierce’s case, college hookup culture, Gen Z’s lack of real-world dating experience, and why he chose the “free agent lifestyle” instead of remarrying.
