Episode 9 - Why Dating Feels So Hard (And What We Can Do Differently)

And when you say men's challenges, what are some of the common ones that you hear? I'm sure there are a lot of them.

And I'm just super curious because as women, I can speak all day of some of the challenges that we have.

And I'd love to see what they are versus, you know, compared to men.

Are you asking me specifically in the context of dating or just men in general?

Specifically in the context of dating.

Okay, challenges.

Or

even honestly, in general, too, because I think that all of it's intertwined, right? Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

I think I think there's a few things going on.

So one of them is just like online dating is really just everyone has online dating fatigue.

There's

challenges on both sides.

Online dating for men is like finding clean water in the desert and online dating for women is like finding clean water in a swamp.

We both just have these challenges.

We all hate it.

We're all feeling really ambivalent about it.

And so that's that's part of it.

Right.

And it's I find that the more time men spend on dating apps is the more resentment they grow towards.

Yeah.

Right.

And so I would say that's one piece of it is online dating is kind of taking away that human element.

And it's kind of tipping the scales a little bit unfavorably.

Um, the second part of that is I think there's just women are doing really well right now, you know? Um, and, and that's okay.
