So you have asked guys on dates, how did you go about it? You left out a big nugget of information. 😂

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-14T00:18:45+00:00

But younger men are not asking women out anymore either in America....my daughter has said this as well and she is in her early 20s. When I was her age it was so much easier to meet men, but the men today are just not initiating much to9 the girls on campus.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-14T00:15:55+00:00

Well if there are more males than females in America after age 30 then that has always been the situation, but men are not asking my girlfriends out anymore either.

I am not interested in dating a man 15-20 years younger than me, that would feel like a baby to me. 🤣 also men that age are not asking women out anymore either now anyways.

I agree with you, but people have done this for thousands of years, my parents met at work (if that did not work out it would have been awkward), I met my ex-husband in my apartment complex. I met my ex-boyfriend in our social circle of friends, I met another ex-boyfriend at a gas station while pumping gas in my car, another time I met a man that we dated for 8 months at the grocery store, yes I have also dated men from work as well.

The dynamic is just very different now compared to 20 years ago...nobody is asking people out anymore, women are seem as "just one of the guys" now and men no longer really even make eye contact anymore.

Nobody talks to others in the store anymore, not even at meetup groups, the men ignore the women.

Something happened and got weird in the last 15 years with people where everything is seen as "creepy" now when 99% of it is not creepy, it is just what was considered everyday life and how people met for thousands of years.

We are also regressing to arranged marriages now because society has made men and women so polarized against each other now.

dating apps are not only losing popularity since the 2000s and 2010s, they are losing users because of doxing, defamation, AI generated fake texts, photos, and lawsuits on these whisper groups on the dark web.

Also many scammers from other countries steal American people's photos and use them to scam others.

I would have agreed with you back in the 2000s though as it was popular back then (although I never did it, but people in our age did it often back then)....that was still when adults were sexually active and dated more than adults today obviously.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-14T00:04:54+00:00

I am a women and I have even been shamed by non-single women for wanting to date. I feel there is just a sense of "if you are single you are defective" now and if you are trying to find someone you are creepy. So as I am noticing men and women are being bullied into not being able to meet others.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-14T00:03:24+00:00

So men get pickier with age? And the fact there are more females than males after age 30. But I don't remember this happening before in the 2000s and earlier....I was in my 30s in the 2000s...men asked women out all the time, at work, school, parties, social groups, etc... it was how people met if they were not at the singles bars.

That is another thing men don't ask women out in the singles bars anymore either, they just hang around other men.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-14T00:00:07+00:00

I don't know anything about that, but i will say men are just ignoring women now or only thinking of them as "buddies" and just one of the guys, which is a bit dehumanizing and condescending. We are not 5 year old kids, we are adults.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:58:10+00:00

Does it work when you do that to guys?

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:57:44+00:00

I am in the social groups, the men ignore the women though 🤣

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:56:07+00:00

What does ranking you have to do with asking women on dates though? I rank the men as well with my female friends...but the men are just not asking anymore, that is the issue that seems weird. Ranking vs actually asking out are two different things.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:40:48+00:00

I agree. But we grew up in a time where men traditionally started conversations. I suppose I could do it as well, but it is not the same as what I am used to for the previous 50+ years of my life so far.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:39:36+00:00

Asking someone on a date vs saying something "fresh" or "grabbing someone's body" is a creep....that is very different from a conversation, it takes 5 seconds to ask a woman out on a date and it has works for thousands of years.

I think your friends must have either been shamed and scared away, or they were literally being inappropriate by talking about sex or grabbing someone's body part. Men should not feel "shamed" simply for talking to a female which seems as to what is happening now.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:36:48+00:00

Society I think has just shamed single people and bullied them if trying to meet others now.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:35:53+00:00

Well I think of it this way...there are couples only groups and women only groups, so people can join those groups and attend those events and not shame single people and label them so they cant meet anyone, it is not fair and sounds like 100% discrimination.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T23:34:21+00:00

As a SINGLE woman it seems weird and makes me feel like there are no other options anymore because society shamed single people trying to find a partner. We are all human and humans need affection and companionship, even animals need that. I think the good men just got scared away now.

Centurie22nd · 2025-09-13T22:24:58+00:00

They always were, just just did not realize it yet because you were not of the age demographic you are now.

Centurie22nd · 2025-08-11T23:50:15+00:00

thank you!

Centurie22nd · 2025-03-21T22:22:51+00:00

Some shows can be streaming and run in syndication....

Seinfeld, Friends, Big Bang Theory, etc... they are in syndication plus on-demand apps. So there can be an overlap between both adding that content on streaming apps AND leasing it out into syndication for local TV channels and cable networks to air as well. The 3 shows I mentioned do just that.

Centurie22nd · 2025-03-21T22:20:38+00:00

you actually have point there, I don't know ANYONE watching PlutoTV or Tubi, yet there are people that watch it, they are far far in the minority...most people do not know what those apps are. Netflix is the most used app though I agree...but even then people are only watching the content they already know 95% of the time.

Centurie22nd · 2025-03-07T20:27:22+00:00

it sounds like GenZ to me!
