Hmmm . . . thank you for letting me know. How is it happening? Are they soliciting through comments? Through messaging?

These guys are not seeking a world; they are desperately wishing they lived in a different one where they can maintain a hierarchical position over women.

This guy is โ€œlooking for a woman,โ€ not โ€œseeking a world.โ€ If you want to see people โ€œseeking a world,โ€ then go look at the Peace Corps, and the NGOโ€™s, and the people teaching in rural impoverished areas, and the social workers, and the human rights attorneys.

Sooooo many opportunities for translation in here (using words like "exploitation" and "entitlement" and "opportunism"), but even the more subtle ones are telling. For example:

I know there are a lot of writers in the Burned Haystack community. Many of you found the Burned Haystack community because of @noahmichelson.bsky.social. He accepted and edited and published the piece that kicked off the BH revolution. Best writing experience of my career. โค๏ธ

Dating in Pittsburgh celebrates its first anniversary Dating in Pittsburgh will celebrate its first anniversary on Jan. 18 at the Aspen located at 960 Penn Ave. Downtown from 3 to 5 p.m.

Sharing this partly because it mentions Burned Haystack but more because I think it's where dating is headed (not entirely; the apps aren't going away, but we're going to see more of this, and I think that's good). Everything old becomes new again ๐Ÿ’™

Burned Haystackยฎ teaches you how to burn the haystack away and find the needles. Not every single needle in a haystack will be YOUR needle, but trust us that dating ANY needle is a better experience than dating hay.

Online Dating Was Hell. Then I Tried 1 Thing That Turned Out To Be A Total Game Changer. "The women I know are suddenly meeting men who are respectful and relationship-minded, and weโ€™re actually going out on good dates."

For those new to Burned Haystackยฎ: It's a method of using dating apps to find a monogamous partnership. It uses my academic specialties of applied rhetoric and feminist praxis. Here's an article for some background on how it started. There are now >150K using it.
