Wanna split a six-pack?

Thousands of US millennials are priced-out of the dating market, a new study has shown.
Researchers found that a third of Generation Y are reluctantly single because they can't afford to pursue love.
According to the data, financial instability is hampering their ability to find 'the one' because it's forcing them to budget, instead.
Meanwhile, a quarter of respondents even said they would happily have sex with a human-like robot - but this would still be classed as cheating my half of partners.

Figure out how much it takes to take a gal to the movies today.
Cut out the pot and maybe you can afford other things in life. Just saying!
Which is why more are attracted to the "gangsta" black guys, they are allowed to be Alpha.
Thats FACT. Evolutionary biology. Alpha seed, beta need.
The other thing is that the very attractive young women are basically renting themselves out on the internet via “Sugar Daddy”.
They are basically paid escorts for wealthy men. This is what the young blonde coed that went missing in SLC was doing.
They get men to buy them things in exchange for sexual favors.
The other thing that millennials do is hook up on Tinder.
On the other hand, my first “date” with my wife cost nothing. We went hiking. She came back to my house after had a beer and then left.
We just don’t date out. We stay in for dinner and a movie (or TV show binge). It’s not that difficult, and it’s worth it when we actually do go out (birthdays and anniversaries) because it feels that much more special.
It’s also noteworthy to say that having a partner in life makes life infinitely easier.
It’s refreshing to find others on this site who tend to think like me. You hit the bullseye on the self absorption and selfishness aspects. Raising three teenage grandsons, I use examples of girls/women they know of who are confirmed monumental pains in the ass for one reason or another. I stress to the boys that if they don’t get their act together, get their educations, get settled on what they’re going to do for careers, etc. that there’s a girl X, a girl Y or a girl Z out there that’s just waiting to latch on to their ass and tell them everything they’ll ever need to know while living on their dime. And don’t even think about divorcing them later on... they’ll be living on slightly less than their nickel then.
I’m not encouraging them to shun women or relationships, I’m just trying to make sure that they’re getting involved for all of the right reasons, and for Heaven’s sakes, make sure the girl isn’t some kind of a psychopathic gold digger. I learned early in life that “behind every successful man, there’s a great woman!.” I tell my wife all the time “If I had it all to do over again, you’d still be the one!”
Rodney Dangerfield once said “Marry a girl who’s a good cook ‘cause the sex will soon get old,... but you’ll always be hungry!”
It’s more than that
Women have changed
It’s truly a mess
From what we’ve seen of millennials’ minds, it’s a good thing they aren’t dating. Here’s to them getting that cute robot instead of procreating.
Cheaper and more romantic to make the pizza themselves. Do a Patrick Swayze “Ghost” thing while grating the cheese.
A picnic under the stars. A walk in the park and a loaf of bread to feed the ducks or birds. Make dinner for each other. Free admission day at the museum or zoo or a local festival. Geocaching. A drive in the country. Camp out. Breakfast at an outdoor cafe to do the crossword together and people watch. Float down a lazy river. Take them to your nephew’s little league game. Take them to meet your family.
I had classier dates. It was Dairy Queen and dollar night at the drive-in movie.
That daily mocho latte with a whisper of cinnamon and a blueberry wheat muffin at Starbucks is around $8-10. Multiply that by 5 days a week and there’s $50 to spend on a nice Saturday night date. Apparently, dumping a scoop of Folgers in a coffee maker at home is too much effort.
Granted we got married back in the Dark Ages but everything from the venue to the gown to the cake to the license was $500. You don’t have to have a multi-million dollar destination wedding that you spend the rest of your lives (or until the divorce) paying for it. But, yeah, millennials only know $$$$ weddings.
I've had sex with a robotic like human and it's no bargain either.
One gal won a date with a serial killer.
Go Asian young man.
