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
[edit]The method is called the 10-rule Burned Haystack Method.[2][3]
Block to burn
[edit]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]
Origins
[edit]The New York Times Magazine reported on the Burned Haystack Dating Method in their 2024 issue about online dating after the age of fifty.[4]
Book
[edit]A non-fiction book version of the method written by Young is set to be published by HarperCollins in April 2026, entitled Burn the Haystack: Decode Dating, Torch the Duds, and Make Room for Men Who Matter.[5]
