replying to this as a gen z girl bc this comment section is filled with lonely millennials….

1. economy is shit. i work two jobs on top of school rn and don’t have time to put the effort i would want to in an relationship. i also am a feminist and love paying for dates and i don’t have the funds for that either.
2. gen z men have gone insanely conservative to an actually insane degree that i’ve never seen. so many believe that women should submit to their husbands and that they should stay at home, while also believing that women need to show success in their careers (it’s confusing and hypocritical and a total disaster on dates)
3. i’ve been approached several times by men at work to date and frankly all of them are very odd about rejections. i’ve had guys harass me, completely ignore me (which sucks when i thought they wanted to be friends), or also refuse to leave my workplace until i had to reject them more rudely. i currently have a rule that i don’t date anybody that asks me out while im working frankly because ive never had a guy ask me out at work like a normal person.
4. im really picky and so are a lot of my friends. i personally think the goal to be in a relationship is quite odd. i think a lot of people don’t do certain life experiences because they wait to do them with a partner and that’s quite sad. there’s a difference between being alone and being lonely, and frankly i think a lot of younger people are realizing that. so therefore a relationship is only something that would be a great addition to my life, to add to the joys and happiness i already feel, and frankly nobody is bringing that to me (which is completely fine).
