    I’ve basically accepted that I’ll be alone because wading into them is just psychological torture.

    don’t buy into the idea that they’re the only way to meet people and give up on love, my good sweet comrade. yes it’s getting harder to find other avenues, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. and considering how many women seem to just opt out of the apps (what with the gender ratio being so skewed on the str8 side), i gotta think people are finding other ways to find love. (unless…more and more people are just giving up on love… sadness-abysmal)

      i hate to break it to you comrade, but as a zoomer, yeah. i went through 4 years of college and in that time i knew literally two (2) people who ever got into a relationship. now i’m graduated and i don’t know a single person with a partner. the only person i know who has any romantic contact at all is a gay male friend who goes on grinder hook ups.

      dating apps have always been too much hassle for me, but honestly i wouldn’t have the slightest fucking clue where to even start with the idea of meeting girls irl.
