Episode notes
Sober Preferences Shape Dating Venues
- Gen Z's lower alcohol consumption shifts meeting places away from bars toward active, sober-friendly spaces.
- That preference makes athletic and daytime activities an appealing courting ground.
Expect Low-Cost Entry Points
- Expect modest costs: many singles nights cost $30–$40 and leagues run under $100 or even $5 for some events.
- Leverage promotions and discounted tickets targeted at underrepresented groups to join affordably.
Funerals As Public, Fashionable Events
- Funerals have become public, staged moments where attendees can be seen and photographed.
