Are women aware of unique dynamics or challenges that men are facing
that might actually affect their perception of desirability or dateability?
Hey, y'all.
I'm Jonathan Hill, and this is Explain It To Me,
your hotline for the questions that matter most to you.
We recently got a call from Rohan.
Hello.
He wants to know why people in their 20s and 30s are dating less.
Dating is obviously a challenging experience for everyone.
And one of the challenges that I had sort of noticed is that men are kind of experiencing a harder time dating
than women.
He's asking because he's been having his own trouble on the dating scene.
The state of dating, particularly for men, has been everywhere.
Why are men in such crisis?
I mean, only 40% go to college, and women with degrees don't marry men who don't have degrees.
66% of young men between the ages of 18 and 29 are currently single,
but only 34% of young women in the same age bracket are single.
Producer Hadi Miwagdi knows about them firsthand.
Okay, Hadi, you were pretty excited about taking this question from Rohan.
Why was that?
