Young men today are facing a tough time when it comes to dating. A recent chat between a man and a woman highlighted this issue. The man said he wouldn't approach a woman at a bar, and the woman replied she would. This small exchange shows a bigger problem: young men are finding it hard to connect with potential partners.

The numbers tell a story. A 2022 survey showed that 63% of men under 30 are single, compared to 34% of women. This means more single men are looking for love or casual dates than single women. But why is this happening?

One big reason is the changing rules of romance. Men are afraid to make a move because they don't want to be seen as creepy or toxic. They know what not to do, but they're unsure about what is acceptable. This fear is making them avoid dating altogether.

Another factor is the easy access to porn. A 2020 study found that 91% of men between 18 and 73 consumed porn in the last month. With porn so readily available, why risk the discomfort of dating?

Political differences are also playing a role. A recent survey found that 52% of single women would be less likely to date a Trump supporter, compared to 36% of single men. This political divide is making it harder for young men to find partners.

So, how can young men overcome these challenges? They need to step out of their comfort zones and take risks. But they also need to act in good faith and accept rejection graciously. Women, on the other hand, should offer kind rejections and not assume the worst of men.

Dating requires trust and good faith. If we assume the worst of each other, it's hard to have a healthy dating scene. We need to give each other the benefit of the doubt and approach dating with grace and forgiveness.
