    I have a few in that list too and yeah, online dating is really rough. I’ve had way more success meeting people IRL. Now that I’m a proper adult though, my hobbies don’t really expose me to meeting new people and that’s where it gets extra hard. Still haven’t found a solution to get me out into public to meet people, friends or dating.

      Online dating is the most damaging and predatory thing for man. I think at this point research shows quite clearly that is very detrimental for men’s mental health

        Can confirm.

        If self worth would have a numerical value, before online dating mine was in the single digits, maybe teens, out of 100. After, it’s deep in the negatives.

      That’s a pretty big issue of mine as well. I’m 38 and I live around a sea of old people. Not only is where I live too expensive for people my age, but there isn’t really anything to do where you could meet someone. I have absolutely no interest in going to a bar, I don’t even drink anymore.
