I swear to god I'm not going trad, but the more I think about it the dumber it seems to encourage young people to do some serial monogamy before partnering up — like people whose only practice is in explicitly disposable relationships would be any better at the real deal

I agree in rejecting the "practice" lens... but I do think that it's fine to encourage people to date ~however they want~ if they don't yet know enough about their future life goals to make any commitments.

By which I mean: For some, the major factors of your life aren't clear enough that they're ready to commit (e.g. don't know what cities you'd be happy settling in, don't know if you want kids or not)

During that time in my own life, serial monogamy was the loneliness-minimizing way to move through it. And dating at all was *definitely* better than kinda just being single, because of "secretary problem" reasons: when I met someone worth committing to, it was *fucking obvious*

Like, if the idea is to be pretty free-wheeling in the early days and not worry too much about what it all means, sure! I have to assume that's what you're talking about, because "finding someone worth committing to" is either on the table, or it's not.
