| Submission declined on 25 December 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. Declined by DoubleGrazing 16 days ago. | |
Comment: "While throning can be seen as a negative, many negative outcomes can be avoided when both persons are aware of and okay with it..."This looks like something original research. -Lemonaka 02:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Neologisms require multiple sources not just using, but discussing, the term. Each of the sources cited here is, in one way or another, borderline at best. I don't think this draft is a million miles from acceptable, but it's not quite there yet IMO. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:03, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Throning is a dating practice that involves dating a person of status above one's own, for the purpose of increasing one's own status.[1] The term was coined in late 2024, but the phenomenon is not new.[2]
While throning is connected to net-worth, throning is not typically considered a form of gold-digging, as dating partners are generally interested in social status rather than money.[2]
Throning can be considered a new form of hypergamy, one that is common on dating apps and with Generation Z.[2][3] Throning is not strictly bad practice, but it can lead to unbalanced relationships.[4] On the contrary, it can lead to increased social status in some cases, even if the relationship dissolves.[2]
On dating apps
[edit]Throning is commonly observed on dating apps.[1][2][3][4][5]
While throning can be seen as a negative, many negative outcomes can be avoided when both persons are aware of and okay with it.[3] Profiles that brag about a person's status may be more likely to be throned.[3]
