Why are Gen Z men and women moving in opposite directions—and why has modern dating become so difficult?
In this focused conversation from The John Lovell Show, John sits down with Pastor Doug Wilson to examine the growing ideological divide between young men and women, the promises of feminism and secularism, and why many modern cultural ideas fail to produce strong marriages, healthy families, or lasting happiness.
Doug offers practical advice for young men and women who want to marry: become the kind of person a godly spouse would want, honestly assess your own weaknesses, go where marriage-minded Christians are, avoid desperation, and involve wise parents or mentors in the process.
John and Doug also discuss:
The growing Gen Z battle of the sexes
Why young men and women feel increasingly disconnected
Feminism, fertility, marriage, and family
How a young man can find a good wife
Christian dating, courtship, and approaching her father
Why digital relationships can remove courage, risk, and romance
Red pill and black pill thinking
Why Stoicism cannot carry the weight young men place on it
The difference between vain glory, dark glory, and the glory of God
Modern culture promises freedom, fulfillment, and independence—but as Doug argues, “In the long run, stupidity doesn’t work.”
