Burned Haystack Dating Method
The Burned Haystack Dating Method is a dating method to help women find more success with their online dating lives. It was created by writer and professor Jennie Young.[1] The method has clear "rules" for using dating apps to "burn the haystack," i.e., find the proper dating match.[1]
The Method
The method is called the 10-rule Burned Haystack Method.[2][3]
Block to burn
One of the method's perhaps most controversial rules is known as, "Block to burn." Meaning, if you do not wish to meet a person for a potential date you block them on the app to avoid seeing their profile again.[2]
Creator Jennie Young has stated that followers of the Burned Haystack Method use it to, "narrow the field."[2]
