So I know this has been discussed before, but I feel like it would be really helpful if people could qualify their answers with how old they are or at least what generation they are apart of. I feel like one of the biggest problems with this sub is that boomer men who probably just had to get a basic job and not be a total weirdo to find a wife, are giving out advice/trying to relate to the newer generation.

Things have clearly changed nowadays with the advent of dating apps, MeToo movement making it bad to cold approach women, and higher achievement and independence from women as a whole. These are all very important factors in terms of how they are changing dating for the average men. The days of just being a decent guy and getting into a relationship are long over.

So I’m curious to hear from Gen Z about what their experiences with dating have been so far. From what I’ve seen myself, it seems like women’s biggest problem is finding a top tier guy to commit to them, and if they can’t land this guy, they are more than happy to stay single. Pareto principle at play.

For Gen Z guys on the contrary, it’s being able to even go on a date, and not get immediately ghosted afterwards for a “better” guy. A lot of men also seem to be “going their own way” but usually not by choice. Now that there are video games (both console and VR), and just a ton of hobbies to pick up from or ways that men can distract themselves, or becomes easier to forego relationships entirely.

Interested in hearing your guys’s thought, especially from the younger generation or older people who maybe have kids or friends in Gen Z.
