Millennials aren't dating because it's too expensive, study says
- StefanKarpinski 7y agoThe term "millennial" seems to have become a media code word for "young person whose behavior I want to write a disapproval or shock piece about". The "study" (if you can call it that) says "1/3 of young singles say their financial situation has held them back from pursuing love". It doesn't define "young singles" but, I'd guess that means "under 30", so since millennials are now as old as 40, at least half of them are probably don't qualify. Anyway, this is a fluff piece based on an equally dubious "study" that's just thinly veiled marketing.

For someone to say that they aren't "pursuing love" because they don't have enough money says a lot more about their sad state of mind and the people they're dating than it does about love.
