In this episode of Mentally Strong Mums, we explore how the modern dating landscape is shifting due to political and social division, not just for our teenage and young adult children, but for us as mums too. With the rise of polarization, social media influence, and dating fatigue, navigating romantic relationships has never been more complex. From 'wokefishing' and misinformation to dating app burnout, we dive into what recent research and media (like Triple J’s Hack and The Guardian) are saying about why more young people—and even single mothers—are choosing to opt out of dating altogether. You’ll learn: 🧠 How algorithm-driven content is shaping young men's worldviews ❤️ Why politics are playing a bigger role in relationship compatibility 👩‍👧 How to support your children navigating love in a highly divided time 💡 What to consider if you’re a single mum back in the dating world
