Online dating can go suck a fuck. It's all a scam to try and get your money by convincing you all you need is to send out more likes to find a good match. The only time online dating worked for me was when I posted on a meetup subreddit 6 years ago. It didn't work out with her but we're still friends to this day so I call that a win.

Meeting people in person is also a pain in the ass. With needing to work all the time just to make ends meet I don't have a lot of time to go out and socialize. I've always been an introvert but it's never been this bad before. People are also so caught up in their own shit like I am that nobody even pays attention to anything from the outside. Which is totally fine, it's how we all are. It's just a consequence of how things are, unfortunately.

Also lot of people meet through work but I only work with dudes with my current job. This has nothing to do with the current dating scene, I just wanted to share because it might make my opinion more biased.
