It wasn’t quick but the age old advice of go to hobby/activity groups, get to know people, and keep showing up eventually pays off. Also, go to shows and festivals and chat people up. I met my (one street over) neighbors at a local festival and now we hang out pretty frequently.
I would say it takes longer but isn’t harder for most because using the apps harms your psyche.
Edit: I know people who have had success finding a good partner, it can be alright probably, it just isn’t for me and most are owned by Match who sell your facial data to Palantir
ok zero people within 100 miles besides me will wear a mask. i did have a weekly thing before covid but either nobody was interested or they were too coy for me to pick up on it.
You just gotta hang out with the right people and flirt with all of them until something clicks. I don’t fuck with the apps.
Finding the right people is even harder than the apps

I’m built different, I get a little dopamine hit from swiping left on rancid profiles

nobody to meet on apps, nowhere safe to be around people in person
Would you take the mask off to kiss them?
not in a public place
