What do you think about charging men twice as much as women for dating events?

[nelly83]

Some speed dating events have such hard trouble recruiting females that not only do they charge women half the amount they charge men, but they even make it free for women to attend at times.

Is there a reason why men seats are always sold out while women’s are difficult to fill?

I've seen articles talking about the lack of men showing up to dating events. Some of the headlines were...

'Speed-dating event in Membertou cancelled due to lack of men'

'Art museum hosts a speed-dating night and only women show...'

'Irish blind date event cancelled after NO MEN show up'

'Why Are Men Afraid of Dating Events?'

Cuz why would women pay to meet someone? Women always have options. The only reason a woman would need to actually do something like this is either there's something wrong with them, they don't like what's around, or they're completely oblivious to their choices

Some people don’t have social circles where they are friends with men. Frequently many women work long hours so they lack opportunities to meet new people. Don’t judge way too quickly

Date online then. Still don't see why'd they pay when they don't have to

Have you ever tried online dating? It sucks

Date a coworker.

If you want to work long hours, then you're not going to be as successful in love. Life is about sacrifices - that will eventually sink in once you hit 30.

My recommendation is to focus on love first, then work second. If you wait until later, you are much less likely to find love, but work prospects will remain the same. In fact, employers probably prefer older to younger women, due to productivity averages.

@Nobodycares dude when you work 9-5 full time , some people even work 9-6 or 7. We all work those kinda hours even in our 20s. We have to pay rent and make a living as our first priority. Of course nobody likes working those long hours But we have to. We can’t just tell our employers that we want to leave early from work everyday. It’ll be a good way to get fired. Dating a coworker is a terrible idea. When things go badly, they will fuck you up at work

@Nobodycares Employers prefer younger folks under 40. They only want older folks for the senior positions. But if u don’t have much work experience at 40, there’s no chance you will be a senior

I think it's just that in general mean are more desperate to find a date, and more willing to use things like dating apps and speed dating events. That's why there's such a large gender imbalance on dating sites, and I've seen on some they also charge women less or offer them some reward to attract more women.

I think it is unfair but I do see the point of it. All it is, is a marketing scheme

[Nobodycares]

Free market.

Men are always the searchers, women are always the guarders. This has been true since time began.
