    A big part of this is moving everything online, it makes the available pool too wide and doesn’t allow for things to be forgotten as easily. Meeting people in person allows the awkward stuff to be forgotten and the highlights remembered. It can still go terribly wrong, but there was more meaningful interaction.

      Yeah the world is super fucked up. I met almost all my previous hook ups (along with my GF) in real life.

      Also according to my single friends it got infinitely worse during covid. Although I’m in my late twenties and almost everyone over thirty says it’s not super hard or anything. I don’t know if that’s a generational difference or old stereotypes are actually true.

      I’m just glad that I grew up in a different era.
