Do men ask women out anymore?

For the men… do you/ would you ask out a woman if you’re just out and about and saw someone you found attractive in some way?? Oo and has a woman ever asked you out?? If I find the guts.. I would love to ask a guy out next year.

This is how it was for me. When I was in my early twenties on POF I met my ex fiance and two other girls that I dated for over a year. Now it's all spam and hookers.

Spam 'n Hookers is a great name for an app

Look up Match Group. They own almost all dating apps. Just one company. Every app is overpriced and does the same thing. It shows you have likes but they're locked behind a paywall so you have to subscribe in order to see them. Then they're either fake profiles or the likes disappear entirely.

I'm on sperm donor sites and I have 30 matches with women wanting me to be their donor. I've already donated to two different women. It cost me $10 versus spending $40 a month to talk to AI that eventually tries to sell me porn or something.

i got curious so i looked up Match Group stock. they peaked around 2021. YTD theyre down over 8% (in a stock market that did incredibly well this year). and over the past 5 yrs, theyre down 66%. theyve been tanking since 2022 despite 2023 and 2024 being great years in the market. hopefully theyre reaping what they sowed.

They own Tinder, Match.com, OkCupid, and several other major dating sites. I think Bumble too.
