The birch show are meant to soft now. I meant to soft one eight five five birch show. So as I was

e-stropping on a conversation when I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago, there was a table of about

five women all in their mid 20s about your age, Abby. Um, all kind of similarly complaining

about dudes being too soft now, right? That they can't make decisions, you know, they end up on a

date, where do you want to go? Where do you want to go? No, where do you want to go? Guys are too

sensitive now to insecure. Um, one said something about not taking charge at all. And all of them,

we sort of got in this conversation when we were in Dallas also. All of them agreed that, um,

and maybe it's just because they're all very similar because they're all friends.

They were all like sort of complaining about guys just being a little bit too soft now. So I'm

curious for women, it was this in anomaly of a group that I was e-stropping on or as a general

rule, do mid 20s that are dating or even your 30s and your dating now, do you just kind of feel

like dudes are just soft now? One eight five five birch show. Well, that's how a lot of my friends

feel and it's hard to not feel that way when you're on, for example, a dating app like hinge and

you're kind of really just asking for the bare minimum of, hey, can you just make the first move and

get the conversation started? And I was actually, you know, kind of going back through, through my

hinge when I was looking for voice prompts for our segment on hinge to like roast them on the internet.

But, um, and I was looking through all these guys that I matched with and as a principle,

I will match with them back, but I don't make the first move. And there's all these, you know,

normal, great guys who can't even send me a first message because maybe they're afraid of rejection

or maybe they're just lazy. And I think we, that's something that you notice online, but then you

also start to notice patterns like that in real life too, like I have friends who have been dating

guys for a year and they won't say that they're dating. They're just exclusive. It's bizarre.
