American dating keywords: brainstorming list

Post by Falcon »

Let's brainstorm some keywords and phrases that epitomize the confusing, frustrating US dating scene, especially for people in their teens and 20s in blue states and various Anglo countries. It's typical of the dating scene in upper-middle class parts of the US West Coast, US East Coast, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland.

Many people from all around the world don't get these concepts no matter how hard I try to explain everything.

It's not just a matter of whether the ladies think you can be a good husband or have enough money to raise a family (It's pretty much as simple as that in Africa, Latin America, and most of developing Asia). It's not even about looks or ethnicity. Rather, it's about this kind of social nonsense:
  • friend zone
    not my type
    Ohmigawd (OMG)
    like, OMG
    my boyfriend (dropping the b-word)
    nice guys finish last
    bad boys
    too nerdy
    creep
    creepy
    awkward
    weird
    weirdo
    he's got a weird vibe
    he's so rad
    hella cool guy
    needs game
    confidence
    chemistry
    we have to click
    needs to be funny
    my personality type
    teamwork
    not part of our social circle
    hang out
    dating my best friend
    you need to get out there
    proactive
    you'll find the right one
    wrong approach
    we're only friends
    friends with benefits but still just friends
    casual but not serious
    official relationship
    going steady
    too clingy
    too close
    personal space
    keep swiping
    workplace harassment
    #MeToo
    Yes Means Yes
    Azn, Latinx
