The article doesn't mention this at all but there seems to be an abundance of "content creators" on dating sites targeting men. They will chat with you for a day or so and then try to sell you their "product." It&#x

I read this article twice, and I'm still not sure why it exists. It seems like a lot of flowery and vague language to basically say nothing other than "we should think about things differently because it's 2024 and old ideas
