Are dating events worth it?
But of a rant but TLDR at the bottom.
So I(33M) have always been iffy about dating events, I have been to a couple in the past and they weren’t really enjoyable because I wasn’t meeting people with the same interests as me and mutual interests has always been the most important value in a partner for me.
ANYWAY, I see this social media post for this dating event page in my country (Australia) and the creator was kind of going on this passive aggressive rant about how men don’t book for her events and asking why won’t they come her her dating events.
And I knew my reason, but I was curious as to why this was (this wasn’t the first time I’ve heard of this trend of men not attending these events and I was curious what their reasons were)
Through the comments, 2 particulars points kept being mentioned by many different people in different words, those points were essentially;
- that men don’t want to pay to go out and get rejected by women when they already get that on a daily basis online for free in the comfortable of their own home
- That the men that women want at these events, don’t need these events and the guys who do need these events just get rejected anyway.
Not long after the poster blocked all comments on the post (I guess a small percentage got especially heated)
But anyway, are these points against men attending dating events valid?
TLDR: A post on social media asked men why they don’t attend dating events, the men gave their reasons saying it’s not worth going to and made me wonder if this is true
