Today’s Nugget - I Went to a Bumble IRL Event And Finally Understood Why Modern Dating is a Mess
Lazy, lazy, lazy. This is the problem with modern dating. But the incels and bitter feminists sharpen their claws when you ask them to put in some effort. And the sense of entitlement is only getting worse.
Now, brace yourself. Both men and women are going to get my finger-wagging lecture…
First, both sides must stop the endless texting, breadcrumbing, ghosting, classless flirting, and general disrespect. Go read an etiquette book because I am convinced some of you were left on a hillside to be raised by jackals.
Women need to stop dismissing men for shallow flaws that make them feel objectified. Sure, men want to feel desired, but not when they haven’t even made it to a first date.
Case in point. I can’t believe dating app profiles still include a man’s height. Imagine if they required a woman’s weight to be listed. The feminists would pour the tar. But our society tolerates sizing men up on physical attributes they can’t change.
Ladies, stop treating men like providers. You can provide for yourself (and still need a partner.) The wage gap has closed with Gen Z. Yes, we still have work to do with closing the motherhood gap, and Conservatives are definitely gunning for our reproductive rights.
But there’s a simple solution — find an egalitarian-minded man who will share household responsibilities. They are out there.
