Love may not “cost a thing,” as Jennifer Lopez once sang, but dating sure does. And it’s hitting millennials’ and Gen Z’s wallets particularly hard.
In fact, 22% of millennials (ages 26 to 41) and 19% of Gen Zers (ages 18 to 25) have gone into debt from what they’ve spent on dating, according to a September Lendingtree survey.

“...respondents who identify as women...respondents who identify as men...”
Yes, folks, journalists ARE demonstrably the least intelligent group in the multiverse. Perhaps in the multi-multi verse.
“...respondents who identify as...”
What identify???? They are either a man or a woman...Male or female...XX or XY...
There’s no such reality in “identifying as “

Unconstitutional government tyranny creates poverty.
Freedom and the free market creates wealth.
Adam Smith, “The Wealth of nations” as verified by America in the 1800’s when government was small, government spending was about 5% of the GDP, and freedom abounded. America came out of the 1800’s as the freest, richest, and most powerful nation in the world.
I remember when “Dinner and a Show”, meant McDonalds and Hawaii Five-O.
Respondents who actually are women probably spend $20 or $30 on a date.
My son is 27. Since graduating law school a few months back and now with a full time job, he has gone on a few dates. Coffee and dutch. Not doing the dinner thing since it is too expensive.
If she’s high maintenance now, expect her to still be high maintenance later.
Back when the quality of both McDonalds and Five-O were higher.
They are probably count the dress, shoes, hair-do, perfume or make-up as “dating expenses”.
