"Dates feel more like job interviews now. Much more like ‘What can you do for me and where is this going?'” said Ian Breslow, a 28-year-old high school teacher who lives in Astoria."
“The ‘getting to know you’ period is gone and that doesn’t feel so great after coming out of isolation.”
Awwww poor them. Imagine having to put in the effort.

Here's my tiny violin feeling sorry for them
Male animals in the wild know that they need to be worthy in order to mate with the female. It's only human males who are bitching about it and feel entitled to have access to women for free. Dating women and starting a family should never be for free for a man. It's not like he's doing anything in the household anyway so he should be able to pay to create and maintain a family.
"What can you do for me" is the most sensible question ever. What is a woman supposed to do? Just accept him with his shortcomings? and only get his crumbs? It's so funny how animals in the wild can provide and defend while idiots like that High school teachers find that offensive.
Women don't owe you anything, your male animal counterpart already gets that and you're supposed to be smarter.
Women are the table and you offer not the other way around.
I have zero pity for these men. They are doing it to themselves.
Men as a whole are SO HORRIBLE that sifting through the trash looking for something halfway edible is basically a full-time job now too. Why shouldn't we treat dates like interviews?
FDS is working!!!
This is how adults talk. What does he expect, a discussion about your favorite color and dinosaur?
Breaking news, scrotes shocked to discover time did not stop due to COVID and they have aged.
Some of these reasons are so lame. Just like their hairline omg. “The ‘getting to know you’ period is gone and that doesn’t feel so great after coming out of isolation.”...“She literally asked me, ‘Would you rather our kids go to public or private school?’ Followed by several more extreme questions about getting married. I just started responding with what I knew she would hate the most to get her to leave,” That's what dating is about. Dude, fr? The point of dating is finding a person to settle down with long term lmao. Where else do you think women are going to go for kids??? Experts agree that women are certainly wanting more than ever before. Majority of women have always wanted long term commitment. Bruh. They also figured out men will just say all the right things to hit it and run. “Being able to naturally approach people while out isn’t like it was pre-pandemic. People are still much less likely to leave their groups or cliques at a bar,” said Bruno. “They’re certainly less talkative and that’s lowered my incentive to put myself out there.” Laaaaame. NO ONE ELSE IS TRYING THEREFORE I QUIT. Good for you dude, right on. “That just really isn’t my style. Like there is a weekslong prerequisite before you can think about getting involved, even for casual things,” Bruno said. “I’d rather take all that effort and put it towards my career.” LMAO ok. As you should. Welcome to dating in NYC and beyond. Sucks ass. Let the awkward men filter their asses out of the gene pool.
Voice of reason
"I'm an open book that you aren't allowed to read."
He is complaining about the getting to know you part, while simultaneously saying "there's no getting to know you stage anymore."
He means sex, of course. Sex is just "getting to know someone" while being asked questions is offensive. 🙄
He'll be grooming a student in no time, if he hasn't already.
Men will blame women who were repeatedly abused/cheated on by men, because “she should have picked better.”
Don’t you dare vet a guy or have standards though because it’ll hurt men’s feelings.
Women are just supposed to be mind readers or something.
Their video preview says "Thank porn for 6 out of 10 men being single" 😆
It is an interview though, what do they expect??
This is such a poorly written article it almost reads like satire. The men here are clearly the problem but the author somehow resorted to standard-shaming women. They keep blaming women's "high expectations" in this article and claim women want "more than ever before." Yet at NO point in this article does the author actually articulate what these high expectations are. Or bother to interview an actual *gasp* woman and ask her what she wants from a relationship.
Based on the article, it seems like these never-before-seen impossibly high post-COVID standards include:
Wanting more than a casual fling (they had to get a male PROFESSOR to raise this point, good lord)
Wanting to get married (wow this is new, since when has dating ever led to marriage?)
Wanting a family (also never heard of before! 😱)
Wanting to know someone for more than a week (because it's so unreasonable that poor Bruno can't just walk up to a woman in a bar and go home with her that same night)
It's true that women are recently prioritizing themselves and raising their standards. But lets be honest, anyone with an ounce of reading comprehension can see that's NOT what's going on here. The men in this article are single because of their standards, not women's.
Scrote #1 himself says that he only wants to casually hook up with women. Apparently he has no problem finding women to hook up with him so women's standards can't really be all that high. Scrote #2 also says he has no interest in commitment and has no desire to get married, let alone spend more than one week getting to know someone before he sleeps with them. At no point did any of these men say, "I wanted to be in a relationship with a woman, but she expected XYZ, which I could not offer." Scrote #3 almost seems to say this when he admits to having no social skills to approach women, but AGAIN he says he wishes he could date around without worrying about a serious relationship.
These men do not want girlfriends or wives. They told you to your face they only want casual flings without commitment. THEY LITERALLY WANT TO BE SINGLE. Yet despite the fact that they're grown adults choosing to live like this, somehow it all points back to women asking for too much. Someone tell me, how exactly will women lowering their standards fix this? If all women suddenly decided to completely forgo their standards, throw themselves at the first man they see and immediately spread their legs for him while handing him the keys to her apartment, do you mean to tell me these men would suddenly be interested in marriage and kids?
These men are the ones with ridiculous standards in that they want instant access to a casual sex free-for-all while offering nothing in return. And when they don't get that, they blame the pandemic and they blame women for wanting too much. What these men don't seem to realize is that it's not that women have raised their standards since the pandemic, it's that most of the women in their age range (i.e. older than 20) are not interested in casual sex and playing 20 questions. All over the internet you see thousands of women explaining their aversion to men because of sexual assault, pregnancy, STDs, slut shaming and abuse, and all these people can come up with is "poor 28-year old man is single because he never got the chance to use women as fleshlights and now he'll never get to :'("
I'm guessing that a lot of them don't have jobs either then 😥
Spermazoids rn:
"What can you do for me and where is this going?"
You mean like how men have treated women for millennia - and still do? lololol they really think they can just do nothing for a female? MOTHER Nature is laughing.
Poor dudes telling on themselves again. Relationships ARE work.
My theory is they 1) don't want to put in the work like you said and 2) they aren't actually interested in getting to know her because they swipe right on EVERYONE and don't choose women they're actually into. You can see it in how they talk, the dead eyes, the awkwardness hanging in the air. These men want a mommy mcbangmaid until something better comes along and are cheating the women and themselves of finding a real love connection full of chemistry. Oh and 3) they don't want a woman with standards because they find it intimidating. Yuk.
I’m not going to waste my time getting to know someone fundamentally incompatible. Guys like to waste girls youth. Sorry 🤷🏻♀️
Cause scrotes are only interested in what women can do for them
That high school teacher should've never put his name out there. His students will roast him surely
