It's a common complaint from many single women β you go out all the time hoping to meet someone, only to go a whole night without being approached by a single man.
It used to be a situation Jana Hocking, relationships expert and host of news.com.au podcast Kinda Sorta Dating, knew too well until she discovered the massive mistake she was making on her nights out.
"I had a real moment five years ago where I said to one of my best mates who is a man, I was like, 'I don't get it, I'm going out every weekend, I'm on the prowl, like no one is coming up and chatting to me'," Jana told guest Dr Kate Adams on this week's episode.
"There's usually six girls and we're all dressed up and we've got cocktails and he goes, 'Do you know how intimidating it is for a guy to come up to a group of six girls? β¦ I know your girlfriends, you're all loud'."
