    Why not to try in Thailand?

    Millennials are reluctantly staying single because they can't afford to date - and #MeToo has made men more distant, study says

    -5,000 young American adults were quizzed for the 'Singles In America' study

    -A third of Generation Y are reluctantly single because they can't afford to date

    -21 per cent believe they need to bolster their income before seeking romance

    -A quarter of all respondents would have intercourse with a human-like machine

    Thousands of US millennials are priced-out of the dating market, a new study has shown.

    Researchers found that a third of Generation Y are reluctantly single because they can't afford to pursue love.

    According to the data, financial instability is hampering their ability to find 'the one' because it's forcing them to budget, instead.

    Meanwhile, a quarter of respondents even said they would happily have sex with a human-like robot - but this would still be classed as cheating my half of partners.

    A total of 5,000 young adults were quizzed for the 'Singles In America' study, which was conducted by Dr Helen Fisher PhD and Dr Justin R. Garcia PhD for Match.com.

    Their analysis showed that the majority (20.4 per cent) of millennials have a household income that's just $15,000-$29,999 (£12,388-£23,950).

    Another 18.8 per cent earn between $30,000-$44,999 (£23,951-£37,159), while 16.4 per cent earn less than $15,000 per year (£12,388).

    This information follows a separate study, also by Match.com, which said that the average single American spends about $60 (£49) per month on dating - but, unfortunately, it's still men who fork-out most of the costs.

    Fifty-one per cent of men spend more than $100 (£82) a month on dates, while 29 per cent spend more than $150 (£124) a month.

    The average spend on Valentine’s Day is $103 (£85).

    In contrast, 66 per cent of women spend less than $50 (£41) a month on dates, while their average amount spent on Valentine’s Day is just $51 (£42).


    WHAT ELSE DID THEY FIND OUT?

    52 per cent of millennials have had a one-night stand

    64 per cent of singles say they are unlikely to ask about their partner’s sex number

    32 per cent of singles say they are unlikely to ask about their partner’s sexual history, including their number of lovers.

    According to 67 per cent of singles, if vacation sex doesn’t happen, the trip was a flop.

    Meanwhile, the top deal-breakers are:

    - Poor hygiene: 68 per cent

    - Unclean appearance: 45 per cent

    - Laziness: 43 per cent

    - Lack of humour: 41%

    - Emotionally needy: 39 per cent

    I'd love to try the latter, given the opportunity...

    You’ve added one thing to a c+p from one of the world’s shittiest newspapers: a title that doesn’t make sense.

    ^ and you yet again add zero to the topic.

    Why not have your dig and then add to the subject?

    Well, if they an't afford to date in the US, airfare to Thailands gonna be a dealbreaker.

    Damn glad I ain't a millennial - planning a future on a $15/hr job is well, bleak...

    I would love to have sex with a human-like robot .... It has to be better than having sex with a robot-like human ...

    Clearly over thinking most everything.
    [as in: think too much]


    Wonder why they're such a miserable lot.

    Well, you can learn something new every day.

    20.4% is a majority!

    This must be the kind of math that elected Trump and Boris.

    I call BS on this. People find ways to go out with each regardless if they're poor or not. The guys using this excuse are just shy or have no game.

    Too many Beta females being allowed to dictate the rules of the game.

    I worry about this, not because I am an alpha female, but because I have sons, and the normal stuff that we grew up with is now a fucking minefield of left-wing rights and responsibilities. My eldest son is kind of a nerd, but quite good-looking and seems to have ability to make good female friends and have many girlfriends, but you live in a place like the UK and the shit they pump into young women's brains is fucking awful. Normally, I would not want my sons to involve with Thai girls, but the risks that British girls present, I just think keep away, in Asia it's more like the law of the jungle, and not the law of some police state, so I feel like it's safer for young boys to behave normally.
    I'm not naive, I know how dickhead Thai boys and men can be, but I think a good western boy is usually a great catch for an Asian girl.
    I'm so glad I'm not American, but my eldest wants to study there, and it makes me nervous, with all the lefty bullshit there at universities.

    Yup. Half drunk and lonely, UK based right wingers.

    The op’s target audience.

    Uncanny resemblance to Charlie Brown optional.

    Send him to Liberty University.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_University


    The university's honor code, called the "Liberty Way", prohibits premarital sex and private interactions between members of the opposite sex.[15][16] Described as a "bastion of the Christian right" in American politics, the university plays a prominent role in Republican politics.[17] The university teaches creationism alongside the science of evolutionary biology.
