Part 8/10:
The experience of men attending matchmaking events has become increasingly fraught with frustration. Many feel that their emotional intelligence and communication skills are being undervalued as women often take on roles akin to employers conducting a job interview. This dynamic can make dating feel like a burdensome obligation devoid of spontaneity or genuine connection.
Underlying these frustrations is a trend of "marriage phobia," where younger men grow increasingly reluctant to enter into partnerships due to the high stakes tied to marital failures, societal expectations, and financial liabilities. Alarmingly, divorce rates continue to soar, leading many young men to question the viability and wisdom of traditional marriage entirely.
