Some singles in New York City have posted flyers seeking quarantine mates.
The coronavirus pandemic may have put a damper on dating due to social distancing, some singles in New York City have posted flyers seeking quarantine mates.
Another woman, who asked to be referred to as “Steady Woman,” says a friend told her about Brad’s flyer in Central Park and convinced her to post her own flyers. “With enough persuading, plus a couple of virtual happy hours, ‘Steady Woman’ was born,” she says. “What these times have called for in this social isolation, and that's just not a normal thing for humans to do,” says Kory Floyd, author of The Loneliness Cure: Six Strategies for Finding Real Connections in Your Life and a professor of both communication and psychology at the University of Arizona. “So, if you are somebody without a relationship already... the inability to see people is pretty problematic for a species that is as social as we are.
“I think what that highlights is that technology gets us only so far in terms of meeting our needs for connection,” says Floyd. “And so it's heightening our awareness of both the affordances of technologically-mediated contact and also the limitations of it. Also, it leaves us still wanting.”
