Most women that age I've met in big cities literally do not seem to care if you're 10-20 years older.

2022 Ipsos Survey of Americans:
"A sizeable portion of American adults have engaged in age-gap dating:
Nearly four in ten (39%) have previously dated someone with an age difference of 10+ years.

Men are more likely to have dated someone 10+ years younger than them compared to women (25% vs. 14%). Meanwhile, women are more likely to have dated someone 10+ years older than them compared to men (28% vs. 21%).

Many single Americans are open to age-gap dating, with 57% saying they would be open to dating someone 10+ years older than them ...."

Not sure if they are trying to be mean or are just breathtakingly entitled and tone deaf but why do they feel the need to give such pointed ‘feedback’ or reasons?

Is that usual in the US?

I was a brief rebound for a girl and she gave me detailed reasons why she didn't want to continue a relationship with me. I thought it was out of line at the time because it was just a brief rebound but in her mind she just wanted a clean break with no room for me to ask "why" or to linger any longer.

Its the only time I've experienced this so I wouldn't consider it normal, though maybe its more normal in other parts of the country. The girl above was while I was in Boston and I was only in Boston for 6 months.

Not sure wtf happened to American women. I’m in the U.K. and time was when the average attitude/attractiveness of American girls who happened to be in London was broadly similar to British girls, but nowadays you can tell by the profiles and the stories you hear that Americans have pulled away in shitty attitudes, like utter slobs who have a laundry list of requirements, profiles riddled with negativity, scorning their potential suitors before even matching, awful attitudes on and post-dates.

What’s causing this? Is there some new trend of US female dating influencers telling women men need to be put in their place, to ‘smash the patriarchy’, or ‘combat toxic masculinity’ or make some sort of a statement they can be just as nasty as guys, rather than solid advice to just show up trying to be the best version of yourself, how to become someone worth being with? Do these people really think being angry is gonna get them somewhere, or is it just their friends are all telling them they’re perfect and shouldn’t settle for anyone but the top studs, meaning they feel like they can act however they want

Don’t get me wrong UK girls can be annoying too but there just seems to be this weird outsized increase in shitty attitudes on the part of Americans. Like I’m 40 and I can’t really complain about how I do in the dating scene overall, but I can’t imagine getting close to the same results I do if I was in NY instead of London.

And I should probably caveat that by saying that the average guys’ behaviour on the apps is probably way worse on balance, but the difference is that women can to some extent screen the most obviously terrible guys by not matching with them, whereas a ton of well-meaning guys are just going to be swiping on whatever they can get and then having to deal with utter contempt back

I've chatted with a number of girls from latm and there is clearly a massive cultural difference between how American girls act and Colombians as an example. The entitlement is out of control. I think we've covered this topic before over the years but it doesn't seem to get better. I've been out the game quite a while but sentiment online is that its just getting worse. Its probably a complex entanglement of reasons.

1. Feminism is fairly new and has probably over adjusted in the short term. Feminism is empowerment and power corrupts. I don't mean this to say Feminism is bad, I think its more like the guy who got no attention from girls in high school who suddenly gets some attention and they don't have the frame of reference to keep their ego in check.
2. Kids in general are more coddled than in the past. I think this contributes to princess syndrome. This isn't exclusive to girls/women.
3. Online dating is mature enough that everyone has an opinion or an experience. Many negative. We see wild stats like "90% of women seek out 6% of men on dating apps leaving 10% for 94%". While this is probably an exaggeration or misrepresentation there is definitely some truth which has the online dating dynamics firmly in womens favor (unless you are in that 6%).
4. Proliferation of online dating has lead to the myth that finding the perfect match is just a numbers game

I'm sure there are more obvious reasons but I've lost all steam for writing this post lmao

I totally get that a ton of women will become emboldened by getting that many matches, then bang a few and mistakenly think that’s their level now for a committed relationship.

It’s just the pure rudeness lol. I’m guessing Brits being more reserved overall means that quite a few women here are probably thinking the same stuff as Americans (and maybe wish they were bold enough to say it too) but would rather ghost/be nice/lie to avoid awkwardness. Whereas there’s this subset of Americans that seem to be out to prove some sort of point about her deserving the world and the other guy never being good enough.

I don’t blame a lot of guys for being a ‘passport bro’ within reason. If it means you get to date women who actually see a relationship as a reciprocal show of affection, respect and responsibility, who wouldn’t want that? That said there is clearly a shitton of idiot guys who take advantage out in places like Thailand and Colombia, and those guys absolutely need calling out too.

If you have specific issues you could express them but this post is completely useless.

I only have the male perspective so I speak from that perspective but I would generally agree with Sandra that men are probably generally worse to deal with on average on the apps than women

It did prompt me to read back my post and wonder if anything was overly bad. I would reiterate that men’s behaviour on apps is far worse. Meaning that a whole other perspective is out there whereby women’s attitude on the apps is actually a response to just how shitty guys are on there. And American women are just being forthright about what most women are thinking being on there. But I still think a guy like Burdz doesn’t deserve being treated like that by the vast majority of those women in his post even though he says it was ‘probably justified’.

I think a standard response from women over here to this problem is simply to not use the apps any more,rather than being vocal about it. One of my female friends simply can’t deal with how overwhelming it is just on sheer volume of messages, and that’s before factoring having to deal with unsolicited dick pics when she thought she was all clear on them being nice
