    That’s why it’s so important to me to:

    • live in a big city where you can go in bars or cafes and just listen to human voices
    • live in a shared apartment
    • “study” at university (mostly for the human contact)
    • work physically, i.e. supermarket

      I work at home and I’m in my 40s with my family.

      I use meetup.com to find events and hang out with other 40yos and commiserate about how this is the first time we’ve been outside in a week.

        Yeah, i don’t really like using commercial platforms to find partners. It’s the same with tinder etc…

        I like finding people irl, though it is more difficult. Also, it would be cool if there were websites where you can find partners, but community hosted, like lemmy. For example for trans people etc…

        As a freshly single person in my early 40s in an area with no social network…is Meetup cool?

        good for you :)

        I had something similar, finally starting an on-site job after 4 years of studying which was mostly at-home.
