Episode 2571:

Luvze challenges the stereotype of Millennials as the "hook-up generation," revealing research that paints a more nuanced picture of their dating behaviors and values. The findings offer valuable insights into how cultural narratives often misrepresent generational realities and why meaningful connections still matter to many young adults.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/are-millennials-really-the-hook-up-generation/

Quotes to ponder:

"The rise of social media and dating apps may make hook-ups more accessible, but it doesn’t necessarily mean Millennials prefer them."

"Many Millennials still seek long-term, meaningful relationships, even in a culture that often glorifies casual encounters."
