- Other comments reflected the general sentiment of dating being more draining and less genuine. One user shared, “It’s like dating these days is more draining than anything. It’s like nobody seems genuine anymore. Like they come into your life to drain & take from you but have nothing to add.”
Additional Responses:
- Another commenter highlighted the complexity of modern dating, saying, “Many of them act like they don’t care and that’s the part that makes it exhausting, but when you start talking stage, they look desperate. If you stay single for so long, you’re in trouble oh. Because all the love languages won’t move you except one. You know the one.”
The actor’s candid take has resonated with many, opening up discussions about the challenges and nuances of dating in the current era.
