The Male Perspective on Modern Dating

Seriously, what the f*ck?

What exactly has gone so haywire in recent history to cause mass confusion and disappointment in the world of dating and relationships?

As a millennial who professionally writes, speaks, and coaches on the topic, I was also navigating the space as a single man myself for many years.

Here are a few things I observed along the way before I met Rachel:

Meeting women is becoming exponentially harder…but also easier (?)

I’m 35. Even as recently as 10 years ago I’d say that meeting women was far easier in person. We could say hello in a club or bar, or even exchange eye contact on the street.

Forget going back a few decades ago when it was charming for a man to invite a woman on a date.

Since the advent of online dating and social media’s high inventory of creepy dudes, there is a growing distrust towards men. And, rightfully so in many cases.

So many guys have used the tools that are supposed to make our lives easier, to mess everything up.

Ghosting on dating apps, inappropriate comments on social media, unsolicited dick pics…it’s no wonder that women are inherently suspicious of every new man who approaches them.
