A lot more women I meet now are now asking me if I am 'actually straight/gay' now too.

wot ? do they ask you if you're vegan while you're eating a steak ?

They all want 'masculine men' and they want to be 'feminine women

why are we dating and not fucking ? :)

Article is talking about the dating world, as it is, as of 2026. Not how it used to be, not how it ought to be

indeed.

    Surprised you're running into so many gender-trads in Boston.

    Then again, rent in Boston is crazy; maybe it's not manliness, but that they are looking for breadwinners? Men with beacoup bucks don't clean. You said you drive a practical car, not a status symbol. Dogs with pedigrees are expensive. Etc.
