Men No Longer Want to Date, Why?

Very true, though if a guy or girl had the balls to approach someone in real life and it worked out, they'd still have to cough up the money, though prob cost less over all as you'd prob be going through more unsuccessful dinner dates via online dating

See that terminology and all that shite coming out your face and the rest of it in your signature?

That's why you're lonely and sad. Nothing to do with your genes, your acne, your height or whatever weird kink you shame yourself over... It's none of that. It's a lack of self awareness.

I think women are starting to get as fed up as men nowadays with the whole dating scene. Ladies I went on dates with two years ago, who are still single now are on the verge of giving up altogether in their search.

I don't think you're weird, perhaps lucky, or assertive, or submissive or very aggreable. My parents fight like cats and dogs, I don't know how they're still married, perhaps the old Catholic influence and the generation they're from, but they do their own thing a lot also (not in each others hair), so I think that has been a saving grace for their marriage.

Agreed, but meeting people like back in the day is almost non existent now, well it is in towns, when I was out in Dublin, the opportunity to meet people opened dramatically. So I think many people's options are limited and this is where online dating has come in, sadly though, 99.9% of lads are on it for the ride and 99.9% of women are on it for a meaningful relationship.

I know people who use Tinder for validation and amusement.

They match with someone, chat for a while, maybe show their friends the pics and chat, talk about meeting up, give excuses why they can't meet up and eventually ghost the person.

Rinse and repeat.

Okay, obviously that's not the stat, what I'm saying is more men are on it for the ride and more women are on it for a meaningful relationship.

And yes I agree, most people I know in a relationship met in natural settings

I think If someone is saying they're constantly busy and can't find the time and live far away from the other person, then either they find someone with the same situation or they prob shouldn't be looking for a date if they can't find the time, or they might be finding reasons not to put in the effort and be fobbing you off

Because some people think that the internet is the solution to all their needs.

And they've probably never had an argument.

😄

In actual reality only the best looking men can use tinder for getting the ride, loads of men use tinder to find a relationship. It's more to do with the fact that a man knows from looking at a picture if he'd like to have sex with a woman, that's the first box that's ticked and from there the question is how much effort is he willing to put in to get the ride, most men accept that there's usually an amount of dating required before sex.

According to this study men are more likely to report a casual sex motivation for using tinder than women, not surprised at all. But you're entitled to your opinion of course.

I'm well aware of bias, small sample size, power effect, cultural context, ethical considerations etc.

That's it, sure it takes all sorts, and life would be boring if we all agreed on the same thing 🙃
