Both men and women have difficulty with dating right now. Hook up culture, ''situationships'', ''ethical non monogamy'' (we all have our opinions on this, I'm not against it but I've often seen it get really messy and I think most people aren't doing it for the right reasons) etc are really prevalent in the past 10 years, particularly since the pandemic which is weird because everyone was very lonely and isolated. A lot of the time when you use dating apps people are just looking for hook ups or they are not honest about what they want and need. A lot of people are simultaneously lonely & isolated, and also afraid of commitment and having a lot of difficulty really connecting with someone. Dating apps among other things are kinda like ''buffets'' that give you an illusion of choice.. It's true that it's easier for women to find someone to have sex with, but it's not easier for us to find someone to date. A lot of really attractive and interesting women I know can't find someone who is serious about dating or wants to be in a monogamous relationship.. The funniest part about this is that people who want to keep their options open are not less lonely than anyone else. At least a lot of men who book escorts are honest with themselves and mature enough to know they currently aren't ready to date in a serious way. I know there was a time when I was very lonely during a breakup, and seeing some of my clients was actually helpful and comforting, too.
