> Gen Z Are ‘Solo-Maxxing’ Instead of Going on Dates https://www.vice.com/en/article/gen-z-are-solo-maxxing-instead-of-going-on-dates/

Not seeing the problem. Hey, between the #BadEconomy and all the high maintenance people out there, the #HermitLife sounds pretty good. Probably what I would do if heaven forbid the Better Half goes first.

Again, if I am ever single again it's the #HermitLife for me. Too many psychos out there.

Again, in reasons it's the #HermitLife for me if the Better Half goes first. I would not want some other woman to suddenly get an allergy. One has to be considerate. (Do note, a caveat or two may apply acc. to article.)

Sheesh. Again, why if heaven forbid the Better Half goes first, it's the #HermitLife for me. Everything these days needs some kind of label on the sly it seems.
