@realhousewifeoftransylvania They're wiser

@jmcdermott07 What’s the point of interviewing interns who are all 4/10s at best… 😂

@sbarr0901 Everyone's a weirdo, things are expensive, resources/money is tight

@readthebible111 What’s going on here is you parents especially fathers have completely let down your children and then you’ve told the men for the past several decades that they’re shit and you told the women that they’re amazing and they don’t need men there problem solved

@milton337176 I have seven sons two are married the other five love single life they’re good looking they’re tall they make a ton of money, but they’re just not interested in dating.

@timbuktubeofficial Women got. F at

@bandidohp I’m broke *****

@kimster182 Young people are busy with more important things and dating isn’t that important

@gronte76 Paula let's show em how it's done!

@kchelluk Who's gives a fuck lower gas and food prices that's important

@studio55jsm Ok, I am old but… in college not many people had extra money. Going out to eat was not in most kids budgets. 1960s, 1970s, no phones or devices. Socializing at each other’s apt or a local bar, walking or public trans, not using cars as much threw people out of our isolation. There is no substitute for talking face to face and it does not at all need to be dinner. Working with other people lets you see a lot about a person and now working at home is negative for meeting new people. We also DANCED more! More fun and opportunities to gather. I think the culture right now works against young people structurally.

@markkling7 Also Boston has one of the largest LGBTQ communities who don’t believe in conventional relationships that could be a large factor you did now report on

@markkling7 Might want to pick a better pool of candidates for this study 😂

@goldenxri not just young, middle aged as well. I blame dating app culture: people are expendable and interchangeable. Putting in real effort doesn’t matter. It’s also ridiculously expensive to dine out these days.

@dsbettencourt1 "why aren't young people dating?!?" .......👉👉♀️👈👈...... That's why
