Comedian Takes on Viral Dating App Trend: 'Net Negative' or Just a Reflection of Modern Romance?

In a recent TikTok video, Australian comedian Jared Freid comments on a viral trend of women complaining about the lack of attractive men on dating apps. Freid, whose stand-up special "37 & Single" is currently streaming on Netflix, observes, "I've seen this video from like 10 different women that sound and look just like her." He criticizes the videos' negativity, stating, "I just think they're net negative. I don't think they're helpful." Freid suggests alternative approaches to finding a partner, such as meeting people in person or through friends and family. The video's popularity reflects a broader societal conversation about online dating and the challenges of finding meaningful connections in the digital age. Freid's perspective offers a humorous yet thought-provoking counterpoint to the prevailing negativity.
