>In 2022 who still uses the term "courting"?

This guy, apparently:

"When I wasn’t lifting and courting, I was building a network of intellectuals interested in problems of governance from beyond the established liberal democratic paradigm."

What a sentence.

>"I feel like it's a term used by somebody from the Edwardian era who needs a refill on their moustache wax."

I knew someone like this. The running joke was that they were a purveyor of 19th century elixirs, tonics—things of that nature. Then they shaved, and the magic ended.
