Different generations handle male-female relationships differently. Our parents lived in an era of respect, admiration and a plenty of romance. However, they faced a lot of constraints. They had to keep a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve their holiness of love and relationships. I really appreciate the respect and romance between male and female in our parents' generation, but I do not agree with those constraints.
On the other hand, my generation began with countless crushes for people's beauty and charming appearance. The love was so superficial that it was considered as soap bubbles. However, I believe that as we grow up, we will eventually come to the stage of developing real relationships. I also believe that love requires a lot of dedication and not so much of desire.
By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They fall in love so quickly that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.
In conclusions, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion. The other two generations know how to give priority to inner charm, intimacy and emotion. They are capable of dealing with relationships in a more mature way.
