Canceling A Date Over Social Distancing And Other Ways The Pandemic Has Made Women Bolder In Online Dating
No respect for my health? No date
Women are often having to advocate for their own physical health in a society that deemphasizes our body’s importance. Before the pandemic, that meant packing our own condoms for fear that men wouldn’t have them on hand. It could also mean requiring a guy who didn’t want to use a condom to use one. And the pandemic has given us another obstacle: pushing for social distancing. But we’re doing it! OkCupid found that tens of thousands of users say they will cancel a date with a user who refuses to social distance, and four out of 10 will cancel a date with someone who says they have no plans to get the vaccine. We are putting our health first.
