Dating-Industrial Complex

• Gender Studies

An article on dating fatigue and people who've decided not being part of a couple isn't the worst fate in the world.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Dating-Industrial Complex. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
