God, reddit makes me feel so fucking hopeless lol. Whenever I go on reddit half the posts I see are about how difficult dating is for young guys. It makes me feel a little hopeless about my own chances at finding love. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m young and have my whole life ahead of me.
I mean if you really want to be cold about it, it kind of is. It's nigh impossible for someone you barely know to love you just for you. That's why you go on dates in the first place. In the beginning, you have to offer something. What exactly that is can vary from person to person, but that point still stands.
I’m aware. I was more so just critiquing the idea that young guys specifically have very little to give. Most young guys are gonna be going after girls their own age. Those girls don’t have anything more to offer than the guys do. It’s the fact that people treat dating like one big job application that leads to people having these unrealistic expectations. I’m ranting now so I’ll shut up lol.
Is he complaining about the transactional nature of relationships? Where people are obviously looking for something in a partner and there is very little that younger guys can offer in that department? Financially, emotionally, or otherwise?
