Largely true: it is a fact that a lot of men are fed up with dating in real life, because they get called harassers if they're too daring, and creepy or simply boring if they're not daring enough.
It is strange and very traditional, however, that the author equates 'masculinity' with 'daring to approach a woman at a bar'. Even if it may be true that men with more masculine hormones will be less scared doing that, that doesn't make them kinder or better partners in any way (nor the opposite). I'm also a bit surprised about the story of the boy who loved dating apps as a solution. As far as I know, for all but the most attractive, dating apps are a disaster for boys. Maybe this boy was good-looking but also shy, but that is not a common combination.
But the core business of this short article stands: many men simply think it not worthwhile anymore to approach women in real life. Putting a lot of energy into something that can end up in ridiculing, shaming and even criminalising. Reactions to this article on social media were telling enough: 'What sexist nonsense is this, men should better date via apps so they never have to harass women in real life again.' That idea makes apps no longer an instrument to help dating, but an alibi to forcedly confine it to online dating.
This very real problem - the group of longtime celibate people grows every year - is hardly addressed by even non-woke left and liberal media, leaving it all to the right. What's going on?
