“First Date Ends in 2 Minutes: What Went Wrong?”

It’s frustrating to see situations like this play out, where a first date can be reduced to such a short, disheartening experience. Two minutes? That’s barely enough time to even say hello. What’s worse is the idea that this might be a tactic—using humiliation as a way to assert power or control. It raises questions about the mindset behind it.

There seems to be a troubling trend where some guys think treating women this way is acceptable or even clever. It’s disheartening to think this comes from the influence of those so-called alpha male podcasts. They promote a narrow view of dating that centers around dominance rather than connection or respect.

It’s just a shame that this dynamic exists. People deserve better than to be subjected to these kinds of games. There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed, and this feels like a pretty clear example. I can’t help but feel tired seeing these patterns repeat. It shouldn’t be this hard to connect with someone.
