Part 4/9:
The introduction of dating apps has fundamentally altered how men and women approach relationships. Men, in particular, seem to face decreased risks when it comes to dating; they can easily engage with multiple women online without facing the public scrutiny of rejection. However, this convenience has cultivated a sense of fear: many men are now apprehensive about being labeled as “creeps” or facing backlash from women documenting their experiences online.
Additionally, the rise of pornography is cited as a contributory factor to the present reluctance among men to actively pursue women, resulting in a culture where many prefer isolation over the risk of rejection or shame.
