Trying to date these days is fucking horrible. It's all about "the apps" because women "don't want to be bothered" in person or in public. (Except of course if you're obviously rich or exceptionally tall and good looking --then it's ok.)
Social media has put "hoeflation" into over-drive. Women's expectations for what they expect in a man are completely outlandish, while they continue to contribute less and less.
I'm not bad looking, but nothing to write home about, have several hobbies, am generally useful, responsible, caring, and by most measures, am well-employed.
I haven't been on a date since before the "pandemic". I was on "the apps" for several months; Tinder, OK Cupid, Hinge. Each day I'd go through my allotment of "likes" on each app --hundreds a week.
Didn't get a single "like" back (that wasn't a bot whose account no longer existed when I tried to view the profile) in that entire time, let alone messages or dates.
I'm now in my late 30s so the 20-somethings aren't interested because I'm old, and the single women my age are 95% single moms. And then you add in all the alphabet mafia bullshit, BLM loving, non-sense and the dating pool for a normal, conservative guy is miniscule.
So, all I do is work, go home, and shoot pistols. All my friends have families, so I'm kind of the odd-man out.
