I call it the “Many Fish In the Sea” Syndrome. People will just drop a potential mate, if they don’t tick off all the boxes, thinking that eventually they’ll find someone that does.
Rodney Dangerfield voice “You don’t have to tell me it’s tough, I live it. I even tried the fake note from the doctors office but my wife didn’t buy it”.
I am glad that I was a part of a dating scene when girls had the capacity to blush and feel shame. And, they dressed like girls. I held the door open, pulled the chair out and behaved like a gentleman.
Today is just to confusing.
Dating is much too costly in a Biden economy.
I expect it will get a whole lot harder before it gets easier.
It’s a mixed-up muddled-up shook up world.
Not if u live in the right location and have been wise w $.

I’ve been married 20+ years. If anything happens to the Mrs., I’m done.
More men see hpw rigged all this is and the risks of wome
seriously outweighing the rewards, and opting out of it altogether, or keepigng things very light.
And there it is...Huge potential liability for the men, much of which is likly revenge for whatever reasons. Get into an argument and part ways, then end up in court.
Replace people with women. Men don’t have laundry lists of must haves. Women have outrageous laundry lists of must and must not haves. And their lists get longer as they get older.
"Why would I let people in government who don't believe my religion have any say in the marriage between my spouse and I?"
Government needs to be completely removed from marriage. "Family" courts are an aberration that need to be dissolved.
It’s easier to date when you’re 25 than 10 years later when you’re 35.
Instead of “What’s your sign?” it’s “What are your pronouns?”
“It’s a mixed-up muddled-up shook up world.”

I see what you did there. Well played. Thank you.
I really don’t know what kids are like these days.
Anybody my daughter wanted to date she brought by for the wife and I to meet.
We lived in a smaller town so word always got around and kids knew it.
I was older, married with a kid when I earned my degree so I got to see the younger students and how they went about what we all did as kids.
The entire problem is Dad.
We dad’s just have to tell it like it is and make it happen.
If we fail our children, they will learn failure.
For the sake of your kids, take out these soy boys and feminists, put them back in their closet.
The bump in self-reported levels of BLTQXYZ sexual dysfunctions is probably an indicator, especially for the women.
On my optimistic days, I think the pendulum may begin to swing back. A significant number of young people (of both sexes) seem to be pulling back from a toxic dating culture.
Among the women particularly, I suspect that the bump in reported bi- and lesbian orientation reflects a good many young women who are sick of the predators and the expectation that they will participate in the hookup culture.
Lo and behold, not all young women want to be sluts, and if that’s the expectation they are encountering from many of the young men they meet in today’s meat markets, at least some of them will opt out, at least for a time.
I don’t think it works the same way for men. There are enough drunken sluts out there that the young creeps can get laid. Women have always been the gatekeepers. And at least some of them are rediscovering ancient truths.
I am old school, or maybe just old, but I’ve always said to stay off the computer when looking for a date. Do something to actually MEET people. The vibes you get or don’t get from talking in person is invaluable. Okay, now back to the 21st century.
