They're single but they're not mingling.
New data from the Pew Research Center has shown that 63% of men under 30 are single – up from 51% in 2019.
COVID isolation and women’s high expectations for something serious are the main reasons they’re avoiding going out and coupling up, young guys say.
“Dates feel more like job interviews now. Much more like ‘What can you do for me and where is this going?'” said Ian Breslow, a 28-year-old high school teacher who lives in Astoria.
“The ‘getting to know you’ period is gone and that doesn’t feel so great after coming out of isolation.”
He recalled a recent first date that went quite well until the woman interrogated him on their walk home.
“She literally asked me, ‘Would you rather our kids go to public or private school?’ Followed by several more extreme questions about getting married. I just started responding with what I knew she would hate the most to get her to leave,” Breslow told The Post.
Experts agree that women are certainly wanting more than ever before.
“The overall picture [is] that if a woman is going to go on a date with a man, chances are it’s not for a casual fling,” Ronald Levant, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Akron, told The Post.

Women make up most of the college graduates, so they make up most of the student loan debt, and they need somebody to help pay it off pronto.
RE: ‘Dates feel more like job interviews’
But they’re more fun, aren’t they?
Actually NO, you don’t have to spend lots of money on a job interview compared to dates.

Why buy a cow when milk is free?
Effeminate soy boys afraid of women.
From what I’ve read online, at least the interviewer for a job isn’t going to post a video ridiculing you to the world either.
Go Asian young man.
This is nothing new.
Generally in people’s relationships , one of the people, usually the woman, wants things to become more serious and plan for the future and all of that.
It does seem odd if someone is talking about children and schools on the first date. But this whole concept about what women are looking for is certainly nothing new.
I think that goes both ways.
I tell my progeny that dating is the interview process for the parent of your children.
Why buy the cow when the milk is free?
My thought as well. Nothing new here.
The media has told young boys and male adolescents that society’s most exemplary women include the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. Can you blame so many of them from being afraid of dating?
Modern women have devalued themselves by being narcissistic sluts. Who wants to marry a woman who has slept with 20+ men? Many have no skills other than taking selfies. Other than sex, they bring nothing to the table.
Read, “The Predatory Female”. Been that way for a long time.
