wow, i subscribed yesterday and this gets posted. it's a sign from Heaven 👼 anyway, i'm 20 so i can speak a bit on my experiences. i think the MeToo movement had a lot of ripple effects that people didn't realize at the time but are now hitting full-force. almost every guy my age i've talked to about it has said there were times they really liked a girl but didn't say anything because they'd be labeled "creepy" or it could bite them years later - the risk (feels) so high they aren't even willing to give it a go.

Remarkable. Your writing is very compelling. I wasn't aware of the statistics that you provided, but honestly, they don't surprise me in 2024. I have to confess that I met my wife online initially, but almost immediately traveled to meet her, and began twice monthly flights from Dallas to North Carolina until we were married in 2008. I met my first wife in person, as I was her academic advisor. That marriage lasted 25 mostly good years.

Best,

Fred
