I’m on “the apps” as a nearly 40 year old. It is a nightmare for sure. With so many options little things or “not vibing” on the very first in-person interaction ends any chance at forming a relationship.

While this negative thinking about dating can def lead down or around the incel community, there are def many negative aspects of online dating becoming the norm that are def not ideal.

The online dating community seems so messed up. Doesn't it make sense to move away from that and seek out the people who aren't embedded in that app culture? The ones who are going to meetups and classes and activities to meet people in person the old fashioned way.

Def not a bad way to do it. One meetup group I am in is mostly run by a power couple who met in the group years ago.

Preach. I'm a 45 year old living it now. It's odd.
