dating in 2020

The "bare minimum" is already more than what roughly 70% of men have to offer.

That doesn't mean you should accept it, of course. 😂

I recently ended a very new relationship due to effort. He felt effort was texting me and answering my calls. I said not really, that's the bare minimum. Showing up to my apartment without bringing anything, me always bringing my own wine to his place. No dates had ever been planned. He took me to this park he likes and felt that was a very grand gesture as we sat on his special bench. I knew it was over when he referred to me as lucky after I said I like to take myself to a certain place for lunch. No, I was hard working and made enough that the odd $100 lunch wasn't a huge huge deal to me.

If only they would at least give that

Dating in 2020?! Surely, you meant dating for at least the last century. 🙄

The bar is on the ground 😭

I go for walks everyday and am consistently shocked by how often I see young hetero couples out on dates just sitting on a bench in the park with NOTHING to do, and I can tell by their body language that it's an early date and not like they are in a LTR and just out for some fresh air.

Like at LEAST have a nice picnic, with a blanket and some food and drinks. That alone takes barely any effort. You could even get some of those LED candles; bring a Bluetooth speaker. Use your brain!!!!

Why do guys think, "lets go for a walk through the park" is an acceptable first date??? And then they have the audacity to invite you over to their place afterwards like they really earned that shit!!!

edit: LVM men aren't just like this in dating, they are lazy and low effort in so many areas.

Women are really out here mailing thank you cards, keeping in touch with our distant family members, bringing treats to their classmates/coworkers, putting in the effort spending hours to get ready (shaving/waxing, doing our hair, skincare routine, putting on make-up, picking out an outfit, perfume etc.)

Ya'll can't spend 10 minutes thinking of a way to make someone feel special???

The funniest part of this is pretending most men even give the bare minimum 😂

Some will even throw a tantrum BECAUSE you aren't acting like the bare minimum isn't the best thing you've ever experienced. Isn't that hilarious

dotspice · 2020-08-06T18:57:50+00:00

all the comments from men are about how women willingly except this bare minimum (pickmes). Proof that men talk out of both sides of their mouths. They'll shame you for having high standards and then throw it back into your face when it doesn't work out.

I don't understand people who give minimal effort. I don't even bother with someone that I have no intentions towards. There's no point in instigating something if you're not going to put in full effort.

TigreImpossibile · 2020-08-07T04:25:43+00:00

LOL this is what I really don't get about guys. Do they not understand the competition? Most dating apps have more men on there than women and guys are thirstier.

How do they not rise to the occasion and really try to stand out from the crowd?

sisibunnyxo · 2020-08-06T18:47:30+00:00

The bare minimum can take on a different meaning for different people. My bare minimum is a guy with my best interest at heart and respect for my boundaries, well-being and safety, someone thoughtful and empathetic who is not too suggestive off the bat, pushy or who is trying to sleep with me before a connection is established - and lunch/dinner dates with tabs covered and just putting effort into plans in the early stages of the relationship and also staying consistent later down the line. - I think it's sad that you get guys out there actually doing less than that.

Further proof that men are that much closer to becoming the imbeciles in the film “Idiocracy”

soundslikeautumn · 2020-08-07T00:56:50+00:00

So, so true!
