Dating sucks for the average man. You aren't supposed to enjoy most of them.
I agree with this. Dating sucks for the average man. Also, a lot of above average men aren't enjoying their dating experiences.
Most early stage dates are unpleasant. Early stage dates tend to be unpleasant if they don't result in sex. It's also bad when one person feels something and the other person doesn't. This is usually the man who feels something (often due to scarcity of dating options) and the woman doesn't (mostly because of her abundance -- she has really high standards for her vibes/feels). The man will offer a second date and the woman will either ghost him or send a text saying "I had a good time but do not see this going anywhere". There are also dates where both sides end up not liking the other person.
I think it is easier to screen people through in-person methods rather than tech methods to avoid unpleasant early stage dates. Tech methods do tend to increase the number of dates people have, but also tend to increase the number of bad dates that people have.
Men are also the ones making more of the effort to arrange the first dates (and early stage dates in general), so I believe men feel it more acutely when these dates fail to materialize into something significant or desired.
I agree with doing this. It's only one part of the solution and not the entire solution. Plenty of people who have stopped watching porn and stopped masturbating to porn still have unpleasant dating experiences.
