So what I notice, I like to look back at Sex and the City because it's obviously pre-apps. And even looking at Girls, which is also mostly pre-apps, I think you can find that people in New York were struggling with dating in their 20s. And so I think there's an interesting thing going on where things that have always been hard about dating, like I didn't hear back from this person.

The person I like doesn't like me back. I don't know how to tell someone that I like them without fear of rejection. Those are part of dating culture. But right now, dating culture is being equated with dating apps. And so some things that are hard about dating and have always been hard about dating are being blamed on the technology.

Yeah, and so the reason why I've been thinking about this lately is I've been doing, I love Reddit. And so I was reading a lot on Reddit about people going to IRL dating events, right? That's very popular right now. In real life is what that means. In real life dating events. So this person wrote, oh, yeah, I went to that speed dating event, but everyone was just focused on a couple hot people.

It felt like online dating. And that was kind of an aha moment for me because how I would have written that is this reflects how dating is in general, which is a lot of people are all interested in the same attractive person. But for that person who I presume is younger than me, that's They thought this is similar to online dating.

And so it really was that moment for me of, oh, people of this generation, let's talk about Gen Z, are really equating everything that's hard about dating in general with dating apps. And I think that's really interesting because there was an article in The Atlantic by Faith Hill a few months ago called People Are Nostalgic for a Time of Dating That Never Existed. It's true.

So it's like, if there were no apps, things would be so much better or everything was great before we had texts. And it's like, no, dating is always really hard. It's like, this is who I am as a person. You are going to evaluate me and decide if you want to be with me or not. It doesn't matter what technology you're using. It just hurts to be rejected.

And so I definitely think people are having a hard time right now. There's burnout. There's a lot of things that are challenging. But I also want people to know that that is a part of putting yourself out there and risk being rejected. And some of it is the tech, but a lot of it is just human nature. That's true.
