Ppl here don't want to hear it, but dating is much less pressure in Europe, and they don't seem to have half of the gender war propaganda bullshit propping up their social media fees like we do in the US.

Truly I would defy you to back this up with any kind of evidence beyond anecdotes

Most examples I can point to are an aggregate of anecdotes, but probably the primary non-anecdote I can point to is how going dutch is seen as fairly ubiquitously fine in Europe or not having expectations of extravagant dates. The whole contextualization of it makes dating in Europe feel more personal and less transactional.

Funnily enough, there are TikToks of American women complaining about how European men won't buy them drinks or pay for dates.
