OPEN CASTING 

Good news, singles! Gen-Z is rewriting relationship trends with 'open casting it's the opposite of typecasting-where true connection goes beyond physical appearances. Fitting into the socially accepted beauty trends is no longer the norm...this generation is open to dating beyond their usual "type". Irrespective of if a potential partner has similar personality, look, education, or economic status, the current dating pool is willing to cast a wider net when it comes to prospective romantic partners. Simply put, everyone is getting a little less picky.

EXPERT ADVICE

"In the dating realm, 'open casting translates as finding a possible best fit for oneself that goes beyond what your 'type' might be. You need to broaden your horizon and not nessecarily go by the boxes you want to be ticked by a person before you consider them to be a potential mate."
