We’ve made it to the end of 2024 – how on EARTH did that happen? And while we can look back at the many dating trends of the last year and think, ick, how about instead we look forward to what will help you have fun, get laid, and even find love in 2025?

Enter GOLDEN RETRIEVER ENERGY. 

Via LiveMint:

“…There’s a growing preference for partners who exude warmth, friendliness, and approachability, often described as having “golden retriever energy”. This trend signifies a shift away from mysterious or edgy personas towards more endearing and dependable characteristics.”

We love this. Golden retrievers are notoriously silly, happy, fun, and carefree — all PROS in the dating column. In 2025, we’re going hard toward this energy and away from the, hmm… Doberman vibe?
