Comment on Anon is worried about men
dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt’s starting to change. It’s hardly the norm but speed dating events in New York, LA have had shortages of men.
Especially with the terrible press and stories coming from them… men are starting to just not attend.

Historically only men showing up
Only desperate people showing up
Has anything good ever come from a speed dating event? I haven’t heard of one.
They just don’t have a great reputation in general. I went to a speed friending event once and, ugh, that was not fun.
To make matters even crazier, younger generations are also just… not even trying to hook up. Some studies are showing 45% of men age 18-25 have never even approached a woman romantically.
Not succeeded, just even tried.
Dating be incredibly fucking weird right now.

I fully understand and respect people just giving up on dating, it’s exhausting and demoralising. I also think a lot of women have unrealistic expectations of what dating will be like.

I don’t even know if it’s that.
Gen Z didn’t give up on dating, that would imply that they ever tried it to begin with.
