As a man in his 30s growing up I witnessed a shift in attitudes from "just man up" to "seek help", so there's that.
If anything I would suggest humanity to give up dating apps. They're essentially making people feel inadequate and pay for the dubious privilege.
- wayoutthere 5y agoDating apps are awful, but were a lot better once I challenged my standards (and lowered them a bit; I’m not the young hottie I used to be and that was a hard realization).
- prionassembly 5y agoFeeling inadequate is integral to the cherchez-la-femme experience. But it's probably better to be humiliated in night clubs (where eg. women sometimes will pretend not to even see you) than in apps; ego defense mechanisms have less of a chance there. Also: actually kissing tells you a lot that detailed self-reported profiles will never do -- the "chemistry" thing is real, sometimes two people find someone cute and stylish but the kissing doesn't work.
