And so people are writing people off based on some of these red flags. But I think everybody is going to have something that might give you the quote unquote ick or, you know, might not be your dream standard. And we are more likely to write them off immediately because of that. You got to meet people in person. I think like, again, like apps are fine, but I think it's a tool.

You got to go to places where there are people and you're doing an activity that like you like. So like you shouldn't go to like run club if you hate running and expect to meet somebody, you know, like maybe you do like like a wine tasting club or like you go to you take some pottery classes or comedy classes, whatever.

go somewhere where there's going to be people that like you can see week after week. Like if you're seeing them week after week after week, like they kind of get a sense of who you are. And I think we just like, can't assume the worst of people. I feel like trust is really low right now. Again, another young male reader reached out to me. He's 20, 21, and he's just starting to date.

And he just feels like, how do I get people to trust me? How do I get how do I trust other people? And I get it. It's really, really hard. But I think we have to just like assume that people want what we want.

Like we just have to have a little bit of like humanity and flexibility for people and like to understand like, yes, if I'm an inherently like valued but imperfect person, so is this other person.

I wrote a little bit about this. And I think the male loneliness epidemic conversation kind of, it spread because it became a conversation kind of about dating. That's how I first heard about it. And that's, I think, why this traveled so far. And I think they were conflating a conversation about singleness with a conversation about being lonely when actually they're kind of two different things.
