average dating experience for men in 2023

To be fair, it used to be less gross than it's become in recent years. Initially Tinder was actually a viable option to meet people if you weeded through enough trash. I became single and tried it out after 5+ years off the market and it was a dark place. Lots of weirdos. I met one girl who ended up being about 100lbs more than her pictures, we had an awkward dinner where she only ordered a salad and talked constantly about dieting, then she said she wanted to come home with me because "she felt so bad about how feminists treat men these days" and wanted to "pay me back." It feels like social media has broken something about how dating used to be. Everyone comes to it with all of these bizarre preconceptions. I'm lucky I found Mrs. McNasty through other means and got the frick out of that scene quickly.
