Women who have 2020’s most unfortunate name are complaining — as so-called Karens stereotypically do — that they can’t even find suitors online now that their names have been dragged, according to a dating app.
Wingman, which helps hook up friends with friends, said users named Karen have reported getting few matches on the app this year than last, as reported by The Daily Mail. According to the survey, poor Karens are getting nearly a third fewer matches and fewer responses to messages in the dumpster fire year that is 2020. Wingman also said Karens reported less engagement while using the app, with a 45% drop in activity.
The app, which was included in a roundup of the best dating apps of 2020 on Tom’s Guide, said this decrease in interest has only been for women named Karen. However, women with different spellings of the name — such as Karin, Carin and Caren — have also been impacted by the dating drought too, though far less severe with a 22% drop.

Ok, I believe you!
Plus what were those crazy people doing on your porch last night, twitching their noses and resigning your yard?
I..Do..Not..Care
Not that I know of.
Percival is, obviously, popular in Arthurian inspired fiction, but I have never read of a Gaylord in SF.
Pretty damn stupid. There are gonna be some pretty smoking Karens out there.
I’ve got a sister named Karen. And she’s a lefty living in Jersey.
Only in 2020. Weird things this year. Three of my previous 6 posts have been about women’s breasts, directly or indirectly. Maybe I’m becoming a dirty old man but really, I think that it’s the hex of 2020.
I figure most women named Karen are in their 60s and 70s, since that was one of the popular names when I was in school. Probably not doing much dating anyhow.
Now there’s a Karen in the proper pose.
There were. The first died of cancer after the first couple of seasons.
I’m so glad I have an office sort of out of the way.
There is one definite Karen that works remote.
Most of us on my floor are normal. More or less.
Worst girlfriend I’ve ever had was a literal Karen - circa 1987 (but spelled Karin). Stayed in touch with her until ten years ago but witnessed her first divorce. I’m betting she’s twice divorced by now. Yikes.
I worked with a fellow from Antigua whose middle name was Adolphus. It was a bit jarring at first to see that name on the wall under a photograph of an undeniably black man.
