    Don’t use dating apps, they’re not worth your time.

    If you’re a guy you’re going to be doing all of the messaging and conversational work almost all of the time.

    Just go get a hobby that involves meeting up with people and something will happen organically. Also you’ll be happier and get better interpersonal skills.

      Do young people not go places to meet new people anymore? I haven’t been single since dating apps got real popular, but I still feel most people who partner up probably aren’t meeting on the Internet.

      I haven’t been single in a long time, but any time I go out there always seems to be single women looking for company, at least enough to try hitting on a dude with a ring.

        Less walkable communities, less free time, and more remote work lead to isolation. Our capitalist society was not designed for meeting people, it was designed to make people work

    I’ve always found to have more luck on dating sites like Plenty of Fish and OKcupid than I do on the more modern dating apps.

    I don’t know if any of them do this today, but I really liked the ones that had personality quizzes and matched people to you via personal compatibility.

    Those personality tests netted me several relationships and 2 consecutive marriages.

    To me, I see that as highly effective.
