As a dude in my 20s, actively trying to find some random 20 year old woman to date for a long term relationship is such a bad decision. I've stopped trying to date people (for now) because it's just so draining as a man to have to deal with all the expectations and stereotypes placed on us.

my teenage nephews feel exactly the same way. they are completely cynical about romance due to the ridiculous and hypocritical BS that their potential dates put on them. and they have only had 1 girlfriend for a few months. It took me 30 years dozens of girlfriends and 100s of dates to get to that point!
