It seems like dudes aren't even trying which is fine. I get the juice ain't worth the squeeze. Maybe I'm just outta touch? shyt looks bleak
It's like matrix of factors
Factor 1 - Cats trying to spend the least, because spending anything on a female is a sin.
Factor 2 - Cats trying to hook up, on night 1 - money might help, money might hurt -
Factor 3 - Broke dudes that can't
Factor 4 - Simps that think that spending money IS the way to get affection
Factor 5 - Cats going on dates to see if there's chemistry
Factor 6 - Cats looking for a wife.
Etc
Some of this is the dude's age, some is his experience with women (be it positive or negative)
But the main problem is that cats in all these different camps - think that everyone else is a bunch of dummies. Unwilling to entertain different ideas and motivations.
