It's not just phones and stranger danger. Many women are tired of cold approaches from complete strangers when they're going about their everyday business. It's not that they don't want to meet someone, just not like that. But there definitely are women who want men to approach them and the...

Churches aren't very good at dealing with singles/young adults. They put a lot of focus on families, so they have things in place for children and parents, but seem to forget that there's a stage in between those two. By ignoring those people who will eventually become the parents in the...

I'm a textbook definition of an introvert, i.e. I find too much social interaction exhausting. As a result, I tend to keep to myself a lot, and not putting yourself out there is a guaranteed way of drastically reducing your chances of meeting anyone.

There's a bit more to incel than that. It's a term given to an online subculture which frequently expresses very negative views about women. That doesn't mean that the label isn't at times misapplied, but it's usually not used simply as an insult but rather as a criticism of things a person may...

I can't claim to speak with a great deal of authority as I don't have a lot of dating experience, but I've always found it to be the case that discussions about things like being a "kissless virgin" don't come up in the early stages of dating. It's the sort of thing you only start talking about...

Speed dating wouldn't work for me because I'm not a great conversationalist in person. I'm not good at coming up with things to say when put on the spot, so it takes time for me to develop any sort of rapport with somebody, time which I would have in speed dating. Also, as someone who is very...

Most women?

I'm 45 and I find women in their 40s to still be attractive. Sure they don't look like they did in their 20s, but neither do I. And I don't believe that guys my age or older who still want kids either have really through it through or are expecting the woman to do all the work. Do they really...

And the eclipse is only happening in one part of the world. It can't be a sign of anything if the majority of the world's population won't notice it at all.
