One article pointed out it takes $200 for a date, while another points out Zoomers are just not having that much sex, nor are they into romantic relationships.

Maybe if you work a people too hard and give them no hope for a future; if they can't afford to have a life, they may not want to have kids.

    it takes $200 for a date

    tf? When I go on a first date with a girl, I take her to a funky bar. We typically have 1 or 2 drinks max. Typically, I buy first round and she buys the second - but even if I pay for the whole date, it's only $40 max. Including tip.

    Then for subsequent dates, we're either meeting at one of our places to get straight down to business, or doing something free or nearly free, like going hiking or playing pickleball or cooking dinner together.

    Zoomers are just not having that much sex

    I can tell you that zoomers are plenty interested in sex. They just need to get over their social anxiety to get naked with someone else.

    Yeah, the article in question turned out to be largely BS. The actual study was about dates, including dates that married or long-term couples go on, and even then you had to squint to get the $200 total out of it.
